Showing ordinances that apply to Cal-Nev-Ari, NV
Cal-Nev-Ari is an unincorporated community (population 144) in Clark County, Nevada. Because Cal-Nev-Ari is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Clark County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The rental registration rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Clark County requires a business license for owners operating residential rental properties in unincorporated areas. Short-term rentals (less than 31 days) require a separate short-term rental license. There is no general landlord inspection registry for long-term rentals.
Rental property operations in unincorporated Clark County are regulated under Title 6 (Business Licenses) and the Clark County Short-Term Rental Ordinance (adopted 2022). Long-term residential rental property owners (leases of 31 days or more) are generally required to obtain a Clark County business license, though individual owners leasing a single-family home sometimes qualify under simplified thresholds — verify with Clark County Business License Department at (702) 455-4252. The license fee varies and is renewable annually. Clark County does not maintain a separate landlord inspection registry or rental housing inspection program like some other jurisdictions, though it does respond to tenant habitability complaints through Code Enforcement. Short-term rentals (any rental less than 31 consecutive days, such as Airbnb or VRBO) are subject to a distinct, much stricter regulatory regime. The Clark County STR ordinance requires: a short-term rental business license with significant fee, a separate state business license, occupancy limits (typically 2 per bedroom up to a cap), minimum distance from other STRs (660 feet typical), a local responsible party within 30 minutes, transient lodging tax collection, and extensive operational standards. The STR moratorium and licensing process has been subject to legal challenges and administrative changes. Owners must also comply with federal fair housing, state NRS 118A tenant protections, building and fire codes, and HOA rules.
Operating a long-term rental without a required business license can result in fines and back-license fees. Unlicensed short-term rentals face significant penalties — first violations commonly 1,000 dollars and escalating to 10,000 dollars for repeat offenses under the Clark County STR ordinance, and referral for criminal prosecution.
