Federal Court Pauses Short-Term Rental Fines in Clark County

Enforcement of short-term rental fines in Clark County has been temporarily paused following an injunction issued by a federal court, marking a new development in the long-running dispute over rental regulations in the Las Vegas Valley.

The court order prevents Clark County from issuing or collecting certain fines related to short-term rental violations while the legal challenge proceeds. The case centers on whether the county’s enforcement framework complies with federal and state legal standards, an issue that has been contested for several years by property owners and rental operators.

County officials acknowledged the injunction and confirmed that enforcement actions tied to the affected provisions are on hold for now. Existing regulations governing short-term rentals remain in place, but penalties tied to the disputed rules cannot be enforced during the pause.

The ruling does not resolve the broader legal battle and is considered a temporary measure while the case continues through the courts. Officials said additional updates will be provided as the legal process moves forward.
