Violations & Fines

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is the fine for running an unpermitted short-term rental in North Las Vegas?
It escalates under § 8.70.020: $1,000.00 for a first violation, $2,500.00 for a second, $5,000.00 for a third, and $10,000.00 for a fourth. The schedule's footnote confirms these amounts apply specifically to operating a short-term rental without a permit.
Is the penalty different if I already have a short-term rental permit?
Yes. A permitted operator who breaks a permit condition is fined under the separate "civil penalty (violation of short-term rental permit)" line in § 8.70.020: $1,000.00 or the nightly rental value of the unit, whichever is greater, rather than the escalating unpermitted-operation schedule.
Can unpaid short-term rental fines put a lien on my property?
Yes. Under § 8.70.030, every civil citation must notify the recipient that unpaid penalties and fees can be enforced as a special assessment lien against the property, and that unpaid assessments can result in the property being sold by the County Assessor.
