Jurisdiction and research scope
This guide concerns property inside the City of North Las Vegas. Check the exact address in Clark County’s jurisdiction finder; its results distinguish North Las Vegas, Las Vegas and unincorporated Clark County. Review the property’s HOA or lease terms as well.
What remains uncertain: Current street permits and exceptions need city confirmation. The adopted storage rule was available, but the complete current code was not readable; the source notes below explain the edition limits.

North Las Vegas RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Front yard or front driveway | The outdoor RV rule lists only rear, side and corner side yards. Paving a front driveway does not satisfy its location requirement. See Ordinance 3131, section 3(iv). Compare North Las Vegas, NV’s home-storage surface and access conditions. |
| Side, rear or corner side yard | Potential storage location, subject to paving, access, screening and vehicle limits. The adopted rule limits the property to one motorhome or RV and no more than three vehicles of any kind. See Ordinance 3131, section 3. |
| Public street | The city publishes a general prohibition on parking a vehicle over 72 hours on a public street. That limit does not answer the additional RV, trailer or oversized-vehicle restrictions. Confirm the exact vehicle and street with Parking Services before parking. |
| Loading for a trip | Current RV loading-permit terms could not be verified from full primary text. Ask Parking Services whether a permit is required, where it applies and its duration before staging an RV at the curb. |
| Guest sleeping or utility hookups | Do not treat storage permission as occupancy or hookup permission. The published Chapter 15.68 text distinguishes owner storage from living or sleeping. Confirm current exceptions and any proposed connections with the city. |
Can I keep my RV in the front driveway?
Under the outdoor residential-setback standard adopted by Ordinance 3131, section 3(iv), motorhomes and RVs belong in a rear, side or corner side yard. Do not assume that a paved front driveway qualifies. The indexed zoning chapter repeats that location clause, but the complete current edition was unavailable during this review.
Does the outdoor-yard restriction also decide enclosed-garage storage?
A separate published zoning provision discusses RV parking inside residential garages. Ask Planning and Zoning to assess an enclosed garage or a property with an existing approval rather than applying an outdoor-yard rule to it automatically.
What does a side or rear RV storage area need?
Ordinance 3131, section 3(i)–(vii) requires a paved parking area, approved access and a screening wall at least six feet high with decorative gates. It also addresses access across utilities and limits vehicle numbers. Have Planning and Zoning review the proposed layout before installing a pad or gate.
For example, placing one travel trailer on an approved paved side-yard pad behind the required screening is consistent with the adopted location and surface provisions. The same trailer in a front driveway fails the stated location provision. This example does not establish approval for a particular property.
Can an RV or trailer park on a North Las Vegas street?
The city’s Parking Services page identifies a general 72-hour public-street limit under section 10.48.080. It also states that street-parked vehicles need current registration and that street repairs, parking against traffic and vehicles left on blocks or jacks violate cited parking provisions.
Compare North Las Vegas’s unresolved trailer and street-permit questions. Check the actual vehicle category before using an RV-only exception.
The complete current sections governing RVs, oversized vehicles and trailers were not accessible in this review. We cannot confirm a street-parking entitlement, a size exemption or a nighttime trailer exception. Give Parking Services your RV length and weight, whether it is motorized or towed, the exact curb location and the intended hours. Posted restrictions and other parking rules still need checking.

Is there a permit for loading or unloading an RV?
For a proposed RV loading stop, ask Parking Services for the current application and controlling §10.48.090, then obtain answers to these specific points:
- Does the approval cover this motorhome or trailer and this curb?
- What activity and arrival/departure times does it authorize?
- What frequency or renewal-spacing conditions apply, and how does it interact with trailer nighttime restrictions?
The complete current terms remain unverified here; no numerical permit allowance is established. A private-yard storage answer or the City’s general 72-hour street limit cannot fill that gap.
The city also hosts a Planning and Zoning application checklist that discusses a conditional use permit for residential vehicle parking. The PDF itself says it was updated September 22, 2020, before Ordinance 3131. Ask Planning which approval process applies now; that older checklist does not prove that every compliant RV pad requires a conditional use permit.
Can guests sleep in the RV, or can I add hookups?
The complete indexed clauses from the publisher’s published Title 15 version distinguish storage and occupancy: section 15.68.030 prohibits allowing an RV to be occupied for living, sleeping or business outside an RV park or subdivision, while section 15.68.040 allows owner storage at home when it is not used for living or sleeping and otherwise complies with the code. This is a numbered historical publication, not a verified October 2026 edition.
That publication also contains a limited temporary-residential construction provision in section 15.64.310 with permit and other conditions. We did not retrieve all of those conditions in a current edition, so it is not a guest-stay permission. No general residential guest exception or permission to install home RV hookups was verified. Ask Planning and Zoning about occupancy and Building and Fire Safety about the specific electrical, water or sewer work before relying on either.
How do I verify the rule for my property?
Use the county jurisdiction finder to verify the address. Its instructions recommend entering the street number and street name without city, state, ZIP code or directionals. Then ask Planning and Zoning to check your parcel’s zone, recorded approvals and current section 17.24.040.C.3.b.
For a storage-layout review, provide a sketch showing the RV, pad, house, property lines, screening, gate, access route, curb and utility boxes. Use our driveway and backyard checklist to prepare the layout questions, then have the city confirm its own requirements. For a street question, provide the exact location, vehicle dimensions and intended hours. Ask the City Clerk for the latest codified text and any adopted but uncodified amendments if an online edition is inaccessible.
Does a Las Vegas boat-parking search mean North Las Vegas rules apply?
No. Establish the address’s jurisdiction first: City of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson and unincorporated Clark County have separate rules. A postal address or a search result mentioning Las Vegas does not select the governing city.
For a North Las Vegas boat and trailer, ask Planning and Parking Services for the actual equipment classification and intended private or street location. This guide’s reviewed RV-storage example does not certify every boat-storage setup or an RV street-permit entitlement. Provide the boat and trailer’s complete dimensions, whether the trailer remains attached, and the proposed hours.

Official sources reviewed October 6, 2026
Source access note: Reviewed October 6, 2026. We retrieved the full adopted Ordinance 3131 of July 20, 2022. The publisher’s current code pages did not return readable text, so this guide identifies the adopted storage standard and leaves unresolved current street permits and exceptions for city confirmation. It does not certify a complete October 2026 code edition.
- Adopted Ordinance 3131 — outdoor RV parking in residential setbacks
Full 3-page ordinance retrieved October 6, 2026; adopted July 20, 2022. Sections 3 and 4 amend 17.24.040.C.3.b and delete its former figure. This establishes the adopted rule, not an independently verified complete 2026 code.
- North Las Vegas Municipal Code — current publisher portal
The full current publisher pages were inaccessible. Search listings suggested codification through August 5, 2026 and a September 25, 2026 online update, but neither date was verified against full edition or supplement text. Official Chapter 17.24 text available through search supports several Ordinance 3131 clauses.
- Parking Services — city guidance and contact
Official City text available through search includes the 72-hour statement and cited registration/condition restrictions, but the full page was inaccessible. The city-hosted Comcate FAQ independently confirms the Parking Services phone. This page did not establish RV-specific permit conditions.
- Published Title 15 — RV storage and occupancy clauses
Numbered historical publisher version. Complete 15.68.030, 15.68.040 and 15.68.050 clauses and partial 15.64.310 conditions were available through search; the full publisher page was inaccessible. These clauses are reported with edition limits, not certified as the complete current law.
- Planning and Zoning application submittal procedure
Full 6-page official PDF retrieved. Page 6 says Updated 9/22/2020; its residential CUP and decorative-paver-strip checklist predates the 2022 ordinance. Used for contact and an explicit stale-document caveat, not to establish a present universal CUP requirement.
- Clark County jurisdiction finder
Full landing instructions retrieved. The regional business-license tool checks address jurisdiction across the county’s cities and unincorporated county. It does not approve RV parking or determine HOA compliance.
- City Code Enforcement
Official City text available through search supplied contact information and an enforcement overview, but the full page was inaccessible. Phone 702-633-1677 was also confirmed in official Clark County and Henderson contact directories.
- City-hosted FAQ — street vehicle questions
Full FAQ retrieved; directs street broken-down/unlicensed vehicle reports to North Las Vegas Parking Services at 702-633-1560.
