Commissioner Justin Jones will host a short-term rentals public workshop on Thursday, March 24, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Desert Breeze Community Center, 8275 Spring Mountain Rd.
There may be additional public meetings as well. These come on the heels of a survey of residents that garnered 5,811 responses.
Short-term rentals are currently illegal in unincorporated Clark County. However, the passage of Assembly Bill 363 by the 2021 Nevada Legislature requires the County to enact an ordinance regulating short-term rentals by July 1.
The first step in that transition was the survey, followed by town hall meetings. Staff will then develop an ordinance to regulate short-term rentals for presentation to the Clark County Commission. AB363 establishes some of these limits as part of the mandate, including minimum distance separation between short-term rentals, proximity to resort hotels, limits on the number of occupants and number of permits a person may hold.
“Short-term rentals have been illegal in unincorporated Clark County," said Commissioner Jones adding, "That all changes on July 1 when we must have an ordinance in place regulating them. It’s important for us to receive public feedback so that we have a good understanding of how far residents want us to go in regulating them.”
