North Las Vegas STRs must obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) first, then a business license under Title 5. Registration requires owner occupancy, insurance proof, separation distance compliance, and annual renewal.
Registering a short-term rental in North Las Vegas is a two-step process under Ordinance 3127. Step 1: The property owner applies for and receives a Conditional Use Permit from the North Las Vegas Land Development and Community Services Department, demonstrating compliance with owner-occupancy (primary residence), bedroom limits (commonly 3 or fewer), the 660-foot separation from other STRs, the 2,500-foot separation from resort hotels, and the 10 percent cap in multifamily buildings (no STRs permitted in apartment buildings). Step 2: With an approved CUP, the applicant obtains an annual business license under Title 5, currently costing approximately 900 dollars per year. Applicants must submit a 500,000-dollar liability insurance certificate, a 24/7 responsible party contact, floor plans, and proof of ownership. Registration must be renewed annually, and all complaints and violations carry over in city records. Nevada AB 363 (2021) requires all Nevada cities to register rather than ban STRs.
Operating without CUP or business license: citation, daily fines, and order to cease operations. False application information: denial, revocation, and civil penalties.
