Showing ordinances that apply to Mount Charleston, NV
Mount Charleston is an unincorporated community (population 314) in Clark County, Nevada. Because Mount Charleston is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Clark County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The night caps rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Unincorporated Clark County does not cap annual rental nights for licensed STRs, but imposes a minimum 2-night stay requirement and prohibits STRs entirely in many HOAs and master-planned communities.
Unlike some California and Oregon cities that cap short-term rentals at a set number of nights per year (often 90 or 180), Clark County Title 7 Chapter 7.100 does not impose an annual night cap on licensed STRs. Hosts can rent their property any number of nights per year provided they maintain a valid license, pay all transient lodging taxes, and comply with ordinance operational standards. However, the 2024 ordinance imposes a minimum stay of 2 consecutive nights; true one-night stays are prohibited, which is intended to discourage weekend party rentals. Reservations accepting only single-night stays are grounds for Notice of Violation. The ordinance also limits the density of STRs by requiring a minimum separation of 660 feet between licensed STR properties and prohibits STRs in most attached housing (condos, townhomes) unless the HOA specifically permits them. A large share of Clark County neighborhoods in Summerlin, Anthem, Aliante, Southern Highlands, and Mountains Edge have HOA CC and Rs that prohibit STRs entirely; county license does not override HOA restrictions. Nevada courts have consistently enforced HOA no-rental covenants.
Offering or completing a single-night rental: Notice of Violation with fines starting at 1,000 dollars plus counting toward three-strike license revocation. Operating in an HOA that prohibits STRs: HOA civil enforcement plus county investigation if complaint filed.
