Henderson requires a business license and STR permit under HMC Title 4 with annual renewal, inspections, 500,000 liability insurance, Clark County TOT collection, and a 24/7 local contact. Authorized by NRS 268.4114.
All short-term rental operators must obtain a Henderson business license plus an STR-specific permit before advertising or hosting guests. Initial application fees are roughly 900 dollars with annual renewal around 400 dollars. Operators must carry a minimum 500,000 dollars in liability insurance, submit to a pre-license safety inspection, and designate a local contact person available 24/7 with a 60-minute response window. Clark County Transient Lodging Tax (approximately 13.38 percent in Henderson) must be collected from guests and remitted monthly. The STR listing address, permit number, max occupancy, and local contact info must appear on every online listing (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com). Permits are non-transferable. Henderson enforces under authority of NRS 268.4114, which lets cities license STRs, and AB 363 (2021), which mandated registration statewide in Clark County jurisdictions. An owner may hold only one STR permit within city limits.
Unlicensed STR operation: up to 10,000 dollars fine plus platform removal. False advertising without permit number: citation. Failure to remit TOT: tax lien and license revocation.
