Henderson, Nev., Mun. Code § 15.12 (2026) § 15.12.070
Code enforcement abatement revolving fund
Operative Text
The code enforcement abatement revolving fund is hereby established to fund the abatement of violations of this Code. All penalties and fines collected in conjunction with the enforcement of this Code shall be deposited in this fund to be used by code enforcement to assist in the abatement of violations of this Code.
Henderson Municipal Code § 15.12.070 establishes a dedicated revolving fund specifically to pay for the city's abatement of code violations. Any penalties and fines collected through code enforcement activity are channeled back into this fund rather than into the general budget, creating a self-sustaining financial mechanism. The fund exists solely to support the city's efforts to bring properties into compliance with the municipal code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Henderson Municipal Code § 15.12.070, fines and penalties assessed against a property for code violations directly replenish the city's abatement fund, which can be used to remediate problems on noncompliant properties. Operators who maintain properties in compliance with the municipal code avoid contributing to this fund through assessed penalties. Staying current with code requirements and addressing any noticed violations promptly is the general practice of compliant property managers in Henderson.

Henderson Municipal Code § 15.12.070 means that when the city collects fines from landlords or property owners for code violations, those funds are reinvested into abatement efforts that can benefit residents living in substandard conditions. If a tenant believes their housing has unaddressed code violations, they may consider contacting Henderson's code enforcement office to report the issue, which could trigger an inspection and potential enforcement action funded in part by this revolving mechanism. Tenant-rights organizations in Nevada can help residents understand what options are generally available when a property is out of compliance.
