The form collects the business name, the primary residence address, the licensee's email address, the number of bedrooms in the property, and the owner's name and 24-hour phone number. It then asks you to select one option: either the property is not governed by a homeowners association, or it is governed by one and you have the necessary approval, with a copy of the approval letter or document attached.
By initialing each statement, the affiant attests that they have read Las Vegas Municipal Code 6.75 and agree to abide by it, that they have applied for a business license to rent out bedroom(s) within their primary residence and will stay at the property during all rental periods, and that there are no current delinquent room tax liabilities or liens against the property. The affiant also confirms the attached documents and acknowledges that inaccurate information may lead to denial of the Short-Term Residential Rental license and/or renewal.
The affidavit is signed and then sworn before a notary public. A "FOR OFFICE USE ONLY" line at the bottom is reserved for the City of Las Vegas Business License # and the Conditional Use Verification Permit #. The revision printed on the form is 2/14/24.
