North Las Vegas, NV Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Permits (2026)

270, the Short-Term Rental entry in Title 5's alphabetical S. License Fees schedule, makes clear the business license is the last step, not the first. 030(F)(16) and secure a conditional use permit prior to applying for a business license. That means the property must independently qualify under the city's zoning ordinance for short-term rental use, and the Planning and Zoning Division must approve a conditional use permit for the specific address, before the Business License Division will process the $900 annual license required to actually operate.

Subsection C then makes the conditional use permit the first item required in the business license application packet itself, alongside a copy of the applicant's state business license, a notarized self-inspection checklist, a notarized affidavit on noise monitoring and neighbor notification, proof of $500,000 in liability insurance, and a signed Hold Harmless Acknowledgement Agreement. A grandfather clause in subsection G lets anyone who held a valid short-term rental license before Ordinance No. 3123 (2022) keep operating under their original approval, but that protection is personal to the original licensee and does not transfer if the property or the license changes hands.
