North Las Vegas STR operators pay an annual business license fee of about 900 dollars (highest in the valley) plus a 13 percent transient lodging tax collected from guests and remitted monthly to the city.
Under Ordinance 3127 and Title 5 of the North Las Vegas Municipal Code, a licensed short-term rental must pay a city business license fee of approximately 900 dollars per year, plus Conditional Use Permit application fees for initial approval. In addition, operators must collect a 13 percent transient lodging tax (TLT) from each guest booking and remit it monthly to the City of North Las Vegas Finance Department. Platforms such as Airbnb and Vrbo may collect certain Clark County taxes automatically, but the operator remains legally responsible for verifying full TLT compliance. Failure to collect or remit TLT can result in back taxes, interest, penalties, and license revocation. Nevada AB 363 (2021) authorized localities to impose taxes and fees on STRs comparable to hotels; North Las Vegas set its framework at the stricter end of the range. State business license fees under NRS Chapter 76 (approximately 200 dollars annually for most sole proprietors) also apply on top of city fees.
Unpaid TLT: back taxes plus interest and civil penalties. Operating without paid business license: citation, fines, and permit revocation under Title 5.
