To host an Airbnb in unincorporated Clark County, you must live in the home as your primary residence and win a spot in the county's license lottery. You cannot rent out an apartment or a secondary vacation home; only single-family homes or condos (with HOA permission) qualify. There are strict 'buffer zones,' meaning you can't get a license if a neighbor within 1,000 feet already has one. If you operate without a license, the county can fine you up to $10,000 per day.
