Market Overview
This profile covers Mesquite, Nevada, a resort city of 24,715 residents in the Virgin River Valley about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas along I-15.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals, meaning any rental under 30 days, are legal in the City of Mesquite and require a permit. Operators need an annual Vacation Home Rental License, along with a City of Mesquite business license and a Nevada State Business License. Under Bill B26-005, passed unanimously by the city council on June 9, 2026, applicants must first secure a conditional-use permit from the planning department before a business license is issued. Operators must also register to collect and remit transient occupancy tax monthly, due by the 10th for the prior month. The city’s specific rate was not confirmed from a primary source, and the permit fee is not published here. STRs are allowed only inside incorporated city limits, in residential, commercial and mixed-use zones, and are prohibited in the adjacent Mesquite Township in unincorporated Clark County. Separation distance requirements between STR properties were considered but are pending court review. Occupancy is capped at two adults per bedroom plus four additional adults, up to 10 occupants. Owners must name a local contact reachable by a working landline and meet parking, noise and cleaning standards. On-street parking is limited to two vehicles for no more than 24 hours, and the 2026 update counts trailers and towed items as vehicles. There is no owner-occupancy or primary residence requirement and no annual night cap. Enforcement is rated moderate, with quarterly room-tax audits by the Development Services director and fine amounts set at the city manager’s discretion.
