First, find the jurisdiction of your address
- Open the official address jurisdiction lookup.
- Enter the street number and street name. Leave out N/S/E/W, city, state and ZIP code.
- Match your address and read the Jurisdiction result. Choose the corresponding guide below.
The lookup is branded for business licensing; use its address result for this check. You do not need to apply for a business license. If the address is missing or ambiguous, contact the relevant jurisdiction before choosing a rule.
The county’s Planning FAQ explains why jurisdiction and zoning must be checked separately. For an unincorporated parcel, open OpenWeb, find it by address, cross streets or parcel number, and use the zoning view or select the parcel. For a city parcel, follow that city guide’s zoning instructions. Ask County Current Planning at 702-455-4314 if you need help identifying county jurisdiction.
Use the guide for your result
City of Las Vegas
Front-yard size and zoning conditions, side/rear storage and the city's loading permit.
Check this jurisdictionCompare repeat stops and trip loading
Check City of Las Vegas loading-permit return limits. Keep the unresolved County street exceptions separate. Keep the actual city, vehicle, activity and location together; a neighboring rule does not transfer.
For permit questions, compare County approval questions with North Las Vegas’s unresolved terms. Use the actual location and purpose; an application, loading exception and issued approval have different effects.
For a driveway or pad, compare North Las Vegas’s paved side/rear route with Henderson’s unresolved current surface rules. Read surface, legal placement and complete access together before changing the site.
Unincorporated Clark County
Accessory storage for up to three RVs, compliant parking areas and separate occupied-use rules.
Check this jurisdictionHenderson
Travel-trailer guidance, location-specific street limits and unresolved current home-storage conditions.
Check this jurisdictionNorth Las Vegas
Outdoor yard placement, paved-pad and screening conditions; street and guest exceptions need confirmation.
Check this jurisdictionIf the lookup returns Boulder City, Mesquite or another jurisdiction, use that jurisdiction’s official rules; none of the four rows below is a substitute.
Compare driveway and yard storage
Identify the actual front, side or rear yard, vehicle type and storage surface. A driveway or a six-foot fence alone does not establish permission.
| Jurisdiction | Driveway / front yard | Side / rear yard |
|---|---|---|
| City of Las VegasSources and limitationsCity summary | Conditional. Front-yard storage needs R-E, R-D or R-1 zoning, a qualifying surface and placement. On lots of 0.2 acre or less, the front-yard unit or combination cannot exceed 24 feet. The carrying-capacity restriction also matters. | Conditional. Side yard: qualifying paving or a 6-foot wall with a 5-foot gate screening the unit from the public street. Rear yard: qualifying full-size surface. The carrying-capacity restriction also matters. |
| Unincorporated Clark CountySources and limitationsCity summary | Conditional. Up to three RVs as accessory storage with a residence or residential development in the listed residential districts. Use a compliant parking area; preserve required parking, sight zones and sidewalk clearance. | Conditional. A compliant storage area may qualify under the same residence and three-RV conditions. Parking in required setbacks is permitted; parking in unimproved or landscaped areas is prohibited. Check Basin 212 paving rules and their exceptions. |
| HendersonSources and limitationsCity summary | Published additional-space provision. At a single-family residence, one additional RV or passenger-vehicle space in the front yard or corner-side setback may serve a vehicle no more than 12 feet high and 35 feet long, on concrete, asphalt or similar paving. The undated travel-trailer FAQ gives 25 feet; confirm that discrepancy and all site conditions with Planning. This is not a universal RV size limit. | Needs current-code confirmation. The same travel-trailer FAQ describes a fenced rear or side yard. Current dimensions, surface, screening and motorhome conditions were not fully verified; confirm the exact layout with Planning. |
| North Las VegasSources and limitationsCity summary | Check the legally defined yard. Outdoor front-yard RV parking conflicts with the 2022 adopted location rule, which specifies rear, side or corner-side yards. A driveway label alone does not establish permission; ask about enclosed storage and recorded approvals. | Conditional under the 2022 adopted setback standard. Rear, side or corner-side yard; paved pad; 6-foot screening wall and decorative gates; compliant access. That provision caps parked vehicles at three, including no more than one motorhome/RV. Current edition needs confirmation. |
North Las Vegas’s adopted standard distinguishes the paved storage pad from its access route. Clark County’s construction/reconstruction dwelling route is separate from ordinary storage. Read the local guide before changing a pad, fence or utility service.
Compare street parking and loading
A time limit is not a guarantee that an RV can park until that time. Check the street’s jurisdiction, signs, vehicle and trailer restrictions, overnight rules and any issued permit.
| Jurisdiction | Public street | Loading / unloading |
|---|---|---|
| City of Las VegasSources and limitationsCity summary | Permit and vehicle restrictions apply. The city directs RV owners to its residential-street loading permit. It does not authorize routine storage. Signs, trailer restrictions, vehicle thresholds and issued permit terms still apply; see the city guide. | Free issued permit: up to 48 consecutive hours. It must match the RV, residential loading property, full period and visible display. Start at least 72 hours after the previous permit expires; the proposed use must not exceed six permits for the same RV in any three-month period. No private-yard exemption is created. |
| Unincorporated Clark CountySources and limitationsCity summary | Residential-street RV/trailer storage is prohibited by county guidance. Nonresidential roads and any actual loading exception need separate review. The City of Las Vegas permit is not a county permit. | Needs confirmation. The complete current traffic-code loading exception and any time limit were not available for review. No 24-, 48- or 72-hour allowance is asserted. Ask county Code Enforcement about the actual activity and curb. |
| HendersonSources and limitationsCity summary | More than 48 hours is prohibited in the adopted ordinance's specified locations: public streets/right-of-way in or adjacent to residential districts, next to public schools/parks, and where relevant prohibitory signs are posted. Under 48 hours is not automatic permission. | No extra loading allowance established. Ordinance 4053 did not establish a separate loading extension or clock-reset route. Confirm the trip-preparation plan and other restrictions with Parking Enforcement. |
| North Las VegasSources and limitationsCity summary | RV-specific answer unresolved. The city publishes a general 72-hour street limit, but current RV, oversized-vehicle and trailer conditions were not verified. Do not treat 72 hours as an RV storage allowance; check the exact curb and rig. | Permit conditions unresolved. Ask Parking Services for current §10.48.090 and the applicable permit. Duration, frequency, renewal spacing and overnight trailer interactions were not verified. A Las Vegas city permit does not apply here. |
The City of Las Vegas loading route covers loading and unloading. It does not establish a street-maintenance exemption. Ask the responsible parking department about repairs or any loading exception that is marked unresolved.
Compare guest stays and utility hookups
Describe whether someone will sleep in the RV and which services will be connected. Permission to park or store it does not authorize occupied use.
| Jurisdiction | Guest stays / sleeping | Utility hookups |
|---|---|---|
| City of Las VegasSources and limitationsCity summary | Dwelling use is prohibited under residential RV storage. Storage permission does not approve a guest stay; confirm the proposed temporary use with Planning. | Electrical or sewer connection during ordinary outdoor storage: no more than 24 consecutive hours. Yard conditions still apply; this ceiling does not authorize dwelling use or every water/other utility arrangement. |
| Unincorporated Clark CountySources and limitationsCity summary | Ordinary home storage does not authorize occupied use. RV accessory living quarters are prohibited. A separate, narrowly conditioned construction/reconstruction temporary-dwelling route is covered in the county guide; it is not a guest-stay allowance. | Needs confirmation. RV-specific home-hookup permission was not established. Ask Planning and Building about the exact service and use; a utility connection does not authorize occupation. |
| HendersonSources and limitationsCity summary | Parking is not guest-housing approval. The 2022 adopted nuisance definition restricts RV living quarters outside licensed/permitted RV parks or resorts. No explicit short guest-stay exemption was established. | Municipal water or sanitary-sewer connection triggers the adopted living-quarters definition. The travel-trailer FAQ also excludes electric, gas and water service. No general maintenance-power permission for motorhomes was established. |
| North Las VegasSources and limitationsCity summary | Current guest exception unresolved. Historical Title 15 text restricts living/sleeping outside an RV park or subdivision; its current status and exceptions were not verified. Storage permission is not sleeping approval. | No home-hookup permission verified. Ask Planning about the intended use and Building and Fire Safety about electrical, water or sewer work. A utility connection does not establish occupancy permission. |
If you are seeking a construction-related temporary dwelling, contact the jurisdiction about that separate use and approval. Tell Planning the address, proposed occupants, dates and utility connections; ask which specific provision or issued authorization covers the proposal.
Bring these details to the correct department
- Address and location: jurisdiction result, parcel zone, actual yard or street, property lines, access and existing approvals.
- Vehicle: motorhome or trailer, complete dimensions, relevant rated carrying capacity and the total stored-vehicle count.
- Use and dates: storage between trips, actual loading/unloading, repairs or guest sleeping; include prior permit use and proposed hookups.
Use the local guide for Planning, Code Enforcement and Parking contacts. Open the parking checker to organize the starting conditions. It cannot approve a parcel, issue a permit or resolve an unverified exception.

Compare trailers before using an RV rule
Compare Henderson’s boat/OHV-trailer class with North Las Vegas’s unresolved street questions. The 50-jurisdiction comparison keeps cargo trailers, travel trailers, boat trailers and detached equipment distinct. Use the exact place and equipment; a neighboring city’s permission does not transfer.
Official sources and unresolved questions
Updated October 9, 2026. Las Vegas residential and permit sources were rechecked October 9; its official street-code indexed text was available. Other jurisdictions retain the October 6 review. Clark County’s development code is effective September 17, 2026. The Las Vegas residential text and current permit guidance were retrieved; direct interactive street-code access remains limited; Henderson and North Las Vegas summaries also rely on the dated adopted ordinances identified below. Those ordinances verify the provisions they changed, not every later amendment.
