Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Clark County, NV

Airbnb listings are allowed in Clark County, NV, but with restrictions. STRs are subject to a 1% cap of total housing units in unincorporated areas and a 1,000-foot distance separation between units. They are prohibited in specific townships (e.g., Mt. Charleston, Moapa) and in units using septic systems; licenses are restricted to specific ownership structures (LLCs/trusts must not be owned by other entities). A permit is required before you can host. These rules apply to all short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.) — not just Airbnb specifically. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements. Last verified 2026-05-14.
