North Las Vegas, NV Short-Term Rentals: Repeat Violator Strikes (2026)

The Chapter 8.70 civil citation and civil penalty fee schedule, adopted under NRS 268.019, includes a dedicated escalating penalty line for short-term rentals operated without a permit: "Civil penalty (short-term rental) First violation - $1,000.00, Second violation - $2,500, Third violation - $5,000, Fourth violation - $10,000," with footnote 9 confirming the fee "applies to person(s) who make a short-term rental available without a permit." That escalation is distinct from § 8.70.020's separate "Civil penalty (violation of short-term rental permit)" line, which fines a permitted operator $1,000.00 or the nightly rental value of the unit, whichever is greater, for breaking a permit condition.

The schedule also layers on general Code Enforcement fees that can apply on top of the strike amount: a $20.00 civil administrative assessment fee, a 10% administrative billing fee, and, if the same violation recurs on the same property or by the same responsible person anywhere in the City within 24 months, a separate $200.00 repeat/recurring violator fee under the schedule's footnote 5. Civil citations for short-term rental violations are issued by the Code Enforcement Division under § 8.70.010 and can be appealed first administratively for a $50.00 fee, then to an independent attorney hearing officer for $75.00, under §§ 8.70.080-090. The property owner remains liable for all penalties even if a tenant or renter was the actual violator, per § 8.70.050.
