Henderson prohibits urinating or defecating in public places under HMC Title 9, with misdemeanor penalties. The ordinance applies to streets, parks, parking lots, and any place visible to the public.
HMC Title 9 makes public urination and defecation a misdemeanor offense punishable by fine and up to six months in jail. The rule covers any public space and private property visible from a public area. Enforcement is most active around bar districts on Water Street, near Henderson Pavilion event nights, and in city parks. Officers may issue field citations for first offenses without arrest. Repeat offenders face higher fines. The ordinance does not register offenders as sex offenders unless aggravating circumstances exist, distinguishing it from indecent-exposure charges under state law.
Urinating or defecating outdoors in public view brings misdemeanor citation, fines, and possible jail time. Aggravating circumstances may upgrade to indecent exposure under Nevada state law.
