***Update as of 6/8/21 - On Friday, June 4, Governor Sisolak signed AB 363. Clark County and its jurisdictions are expected to work through their short-term rental process to account for AB 363. We will monitor this process closely and continue to provide updates. Thank you to all the Hosts who worked on this bill by sending emails, giving public comments, and lobbying their legislators. Your continued efforts will be needed as we move forward to engage the local government on their short-term rental ordinance process.***
Below is a current update on the all active bills impacting short-term rentals. Stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to support fair short-term rental (STR) laws in Nevada.
-This bill is a first step towards legalizing short-term rentals statewide which includes tax collection and licensing requirements.
-There are areas of the bill that need substantive changes, including:
-660 foot distance requirement between licensed short-term rentals and a ban on short-term
rentals in multi-family units if they are within 2,500 feet of a gaming property. Hotels and
other gaming properties are exempted from this restriction and allowed to operate short-
term rentals.
-10% cap on short-term rentals in a multi-family building.
-2 night minimum for non-owner occupied stays.
-Ask legislators to oppose the recent amendments made to AB 363 and instead help create a fair and clear pathway for Hosts to share their homes legitimately.
Senate Bill (SB) 57 (DEAD)
-Introduced by Clark County to target Hosts who have been issued excessive fines for sharing their homes.
-Empowers any local county across Nevada to assess unpaid citations onto a homeowners annual property tax bill.
-Ask legislators to OPPOSE SB 57.
Lawmakers need to know that hosts like you are partners in the economic growth of the state, and that any new legislation will need to continue protecting your ability to share your home, as well as help provide a powerful economic boost for local communities through healthy tourism. Hosting also supports small businesses and the state’s economy especially as so many residents reel from the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Your voice matters and can make a difference.
