The burden of demonstrating that the rental of a unit is expressly authorized by the community is on the applicant. (G) A list of all accommodations facilitators that the applicant proposes to use to market, advertise, offer, solicit customers for, or make available for commercial use the short-term residential rental applied for. (H) A certificate of insurance evidencing general liability insurance coverage in a minimum amount of five hundred thousand dollars.

(I) An affidavit attesting that there are no delinquent room tax liabilities or liens regarding the property to be used as a short-term residential rental.
Las Vegas Municipal Code § 6.75.040 sets out the complete list of information and documents that must accompany every application for a short-term residential rental license in the city. Requirements include owner and property manager contact details, a 24-hour local contact number, bedroom count verified through the city's conditional use process, proof of at least $500,000 in general liability insurance from a Nevada-licensed insurer, and a declaration that no delinquent room-tax liabilities exist on the property. Properties located within common-interest communities face an additional step: the applicant must supply documentation from the governing association confirming the rental use is expressly permitted under the community's governing documents.

Operators seeking a short-term residential rental license under LVMC § 6.75.040 generally assemble a comprehensive application package before submitting to the city. A compliant application typically includes signed owner information, property manager contacts, a 24-hour local contact, the city-verified bedroom count, a current certificate of general liability insurance for at least $500,000 from a Nevada-licensed carrier, a list of all accommodations facilitators to be used, and a signed affidavit confirming no outstanding room-tax obligations. Owners of units in homeowners associations or other common-interest communities bear the burden of obtaining and submitting written acknowledgment from the governing association that short-term rentals are expressly authorized under the community's governing documents.

While § 6.75.040 primarily governs the licensing process for short-term rental operators, it creates transparency that can benefit occupants and neighbors alike. The requirement that a 24-hour local contact be identified and disclosed means there is a designated point of contact for complaints about the condition, operation, or conduct at the rental unit. Anyone with concerns about whether a short-term rental in Las Vegas is properly licensed or compliant with these application requirements may contact the City of Las Vegas directly or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Nevada short-term rental regulations.
