Las Vegas Vacation Rental Rules

Can I Airbnb this house? Type the address and find out which of the four valley jurisdictions governs it, and whether it can be licensed.

Or try a real one:

Free, and no account needed. We check the official city and county boundary maps for the exact parcel, so a house one street inside Henderson gets the Henderson answer. If you already have an agent, they stay your agent.

4jurisdictions covered
1,000 ftHenderson separation rule
660 ftCity of LV & North LV rule
2,500 ftfrom any resort hotel

The license is what governs the property, so the answer is the same whether you plan to list on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com or anywhere else.

Who is behind this

We manage 30+ vacation rentals in this valley, so we had to learn these rules the hard way.

Eran and Zohar Lotem run 5 Star STR, a short-term rental management company operating across Las Vegas and Henderson and one of the few local partners of Marriott Homes & Villas. We kept losing days to the same question on every deal: which jurisdiction is this parcel actually in, and does it clear the separation rules? So we built the check we wanted, on the official city and county data, and left it free and open.

5 Star STR (EZ Arba LLC) · Nevada license B.1002264 · 702-887-1099 · 5starstr.com

We are not attorneys and this is not an official determination. If a result matters to a purchase, confirm it with the licensing office. If you are working with an agent, they stay your agent.
