Airbnb/STRs in Henderson, NV

[Eloisa Gil Villafuerte]

Hi BP Community,

We are looking at converting some of our long term rentals to Airbnb/STRs in Henderson, NV. Since the city has allowed it starting Oct. 15, we would like to know if anybody has any insight as to the new rules and regulations the city is requiring.

We’ve already read over them, but some seem to have different interpretations.

Thanks - Eloisa

Hi @Jason R. , our questions were somewhat technical.

-Question 1: Regarding occupancy (section k), we are unsure if the bedroom count will trump the square footage requirement (or vice versa) for the number of occupants the city will allow. Also, does the number of children never count toward occupancy limit?

For example: Does this mean that we can fit up to 8 people (i.e. 6 adults and 2 children) in house that has 1,200 sq ft (2 bed and 1 bath house)?

OR, if we have a 1,100 sq ft (3bed and 2 baths) house are we able to fit 8 adults plus 2 children or are still limited to only 8 people due to the 150 square feet restriction?

-Question 2: In the general questions “What is a short-term rental?” – Do you understand what the statement “excluding February” is referring to? We thought maybe it means that STRs are not allowed in the month of February? This seems odd though.

-Questions 3: Community Development and Services Dept. (section g) – States that we will need to disseminate local contact info to properties in a 200 ft radius around the STR within 10 days of registration. Do you have an idea of the wording that this letter should have? I assume they don't want a novel.

We appreciate any responses!

Thanks for contacting Jason @Travis Shelton!
