🎉 COURT VICTORY: Septic Tank Restriction for STRs Struck Down as Unconstitutional

Regional Justice Center Building in Downtown Las Vegas, NV

Today, we celebrate a critical victory for property rights and fairness. A Nevada District Court has ruled that Clark County’s short-term rental ordinance requiring STR homes to be connected to public sewer (among other things) is unconstitutional, violating the Equal Protection Clause of both the Nevada and United States Constitutions.

This decision affirms what we’ve said from the beginning: every homeowner deserves equal treatment, whether they are connected to sewer or septic. The County’s attempt to disqualify certain homes based solely on their infrastructure was not only unjust — it was illegal.

🛑 A Pattern of Government Overreach

While we expect Clark County to do what they’ve always done and appeal any ruling that favors private property owners, let’s be clear: they are wasting your tax dollars to defend unconstitutional ordinances.

This is part of a long-standing pattern where local governments use public money to fight their own residents, rather than fixing broken policies. But the courts are beginning to see through it — and we are winning.

🔥 What This Means for You

• The sewer connection requirement is no longer enforceable.

• The court recognized this rule as an unjustified and discriminatory barrier designed to limit STR licensing.

• This ruling strengthens the legal foundation for challenging other unconstitutional parts of the STR ordinance.
  

💪 GLVSTRA Is Fighting — and Winning

This victory is your victory. Every member who donated, showed up, wrote letters, and stood firm made this moment possible. And while the fight isn't over — and appeals are likely — we now have legal precedent on our side.

We will continue to defend our rights in court, at commission meetings, and in the community. And we will continue to call out wasteful, retaliatory government behavior that punishes law-abiding property owners and misuses public funds.

👊 Stay the Course — The Momentum Is Ours
