Operative Text
The operator of a short-term residential rental, as well as an accommodations facilitator as required by LVMC 6.75.128 , shall comply with all provisions of LVMC Chapters 6.46 and 4.20 that pertain to the collection of room taxes by the operator of an establishment subject to those chapters, as well as the associated recordkeeping requirements. Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, the required compliance includes specific compliance with the following Sections: 6.46.040 ; 6.46.050 ; 6.46.060 ; 6.46.070 ; 6.46.080 ; 6.46.100 ; 6.46.130 ; 6.46.140 ; 6.46.150 ; 4.20.030 ; 4.20.035 ; 4.20.040 ; 4.20.060 ; 4.20.070 ; 4.20.110 ; 4.20.140 ; 4.20.150 ; 4.20.160 .
Las Vegas Municipal Code § 6.75.060 requires that anyone operating a short-term residential rental — and, where applicable, any accommodations facilitator — must follow all room-tax collection and recordkeeping rules set out in LVMC Chapters 6.46 and 4.20. The provision enumerates eighteen specific code sections within those chapters that are expressly included in this compliance obligation. This rule effectively treats short-term rental operators the same as other lodging establishments when it comes to local tax collection duties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under LVMC § 6.75.060, operators of short-term residential rentals are expected to collect and remit room taxes in accordance with the detailed requirements found across LVMC Chapters 6.46 and 4.20, including the eighteen sections specifically listed. Compliant operators generally maintain accurate records of all taxable transactions, file required tax returns on schedule, and ensure that any accommodations facilitator involved in bookings is also meeting its obligations under LVMC 6.75.128. Staying current with each of the enumerated sections — covering collection, reporting, audits, and recordkeeping — is central to operating a lawful short-term rental in Las Vegas.

While LVMC § 6.75.060 primarily governs operator and facilitator tax obligations rather than tenant-facing rights, guests and tenants of short-term rentals in Las Vegas may have an interest in knowing that the platform or host is required to comply with local room-tax rules. If a guest believes taxes are being improperly collected or that a rental is operating outside these requirements, they can raise the matter with the relevant Las Vegas municipal authority that oversees short-term rental licensing and tax compliance. Tenant-rights organizations or a legal aid resource can help individuals understand how these compliance rules may intersect with their specific rental arrangement.
