Short-Term Vacation Rental (STVR) regulations
Henderson City Council adopted changes for the operation of STVRs on November 17, 2020, effective immediately. STVRs are permitted in residential zones, as well as certain commercial and mixed-use zones, with a required separation of 1000 radial feet between units. For individually owned units in a multi-family building, only 25% of units can operate as a STVR.
The rules prohibit events or any gatherings in STVRs. They also require a two-night minimum stay, noise monitoring devices, and a local contact to resolve the problem within 30 minutes of notification.
