Boulder City operates no STR registration system. The March 26, 2024 ordinance bans STRs outright, so there is no application, hosting platform ID, or registration number to obtain.
Nevada's AB 363 (2021) directs counties and cities that permit STRs to register operators, require state business licenses, and remit transient lodging tax. Boulder City does not participate in this framework because its ordinance bans short-term rentals citywide. There is no STR registration number, no host-owner-occupancy requirement, and no annual renewal because there is no pathway to legal STR operation. Hosting platforms such as Airbnb and Vrbo are expected to decline listings in Boulder City after enforcement notices. Long-term rental landlords still need a Boulder City business license if required by Title 5 and a Nevada state business license under NRS 76.
STR operation fines up to 500 dollars per day; hosting platforms may also face state-level remittance obligations.
