Statewide short-term rental rules in Nevada
Nevada has no statewide short-term rental license — STR permitting is handled by cities and counties. But state law AB 363 (2021), codified at NRS 244.35351-244.35359 and NRS 268.09791-268.09799, works as a reverse-preemption mandate: Clark County (the only county over 700,000 people) and its cities of 25,000+ (Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas) must legalize and regulate STRs — complete bans are prohibited — under state-set floor rules including annual local permits, a Nevada state business license, 1-2 night minimum stays, a 16-person occupancy cap, no apartment rentals, 660-ft spacing between STRs, 2,500-ft resort-hotel buffers, and liability insurance. Lodging taxes are imposed at the county level (combined rates roughly 10.5%-13.5% in the major markets, with state-mandated components), and platforms such as Airbnb collect them in Clark and Washoe County jurisdictions. City and county rules apply on top of state law — check your local market's page.
