Las Vegas, NV Short-Term Rentals: Registration Rules (2026)

LVMC Chapter 6.75, adopted by Bill No. 2022-11 on August 17, 2022, implements the Nevada statewide STR framework set by Assembly Bill 363 (2021). Registration is a two-stage process. Stage one is the Conditional Use Verification (CUV) filed through the city Citizen Portal at lasvegasnevada.gov/dashboard under Planning and Zoning; the CUV is reviewed in three steps - an initial Planning review of minimum standards, a Code Enforcement home inspection scheduled by the applicant, and a final Planning review confirming continued compliance. Stage two is the Short-Term Residential Rental Business License issued by Business Licensing after CUV approval, with a $500 annual fee. The application package must include: government-issued Nevada ID showing the rental address as the applicant's address (consistent with the primary-residence requirement), proof of at least $500,000 per occurrence in liability insurance, a 24-hour responsible-party contact who can respond to complaints, a floor plan or bedroom count establishing three bedrooms or fewer, Clark County Transient Lodging Tax registration, and confirmation that the site satisfies the 660-foot STR-to-STR separation and 2,500-foot resort-corridor buffer. Both the CUV and the business license must be renewed each year, and the address-specific separation and primary-residence conditions are re-verified at renewal. Each licensed STR must post an interior placard listing maximum occupancy, the 24-hour responsible-party contact, and the city complaint hotline (702-229-3500); the placard is reviewed at inspection. Complaints to the hotline are dispatched to Code Enforcement 24 hours a day; substantiated complaints are recorded against the license and feed into suspension or revocation review.
