## State tax context, Nevada
Nevada has no state individual income tax, federal §168(k) bonus depreciation under OBBBA's restored 100% is the entire tax story for Las Vegas investors. No state addback, no decoupling math. Combined with Nevada's STR-permissive county-level regulation and Las Vegas's year-round demand profile, this produces among the cleanest cost-seg tax positions in the country for a major destination STR market.

## Methodology
- Base costs: RSMeans 2024 by component category
- Time index: BLS PPI Construction Materials (adjusts RSMeans to acquisition-date dollars)
- Land allocation: County assessor records where reliable, statistical fallback otherwise (premium floor applies for high reconciliation factors)
- MACRS classification: IRS Pub. 946 + Rev. Proc. 87-56
- Bonus depreciation: 100% (OBBBA permanently restored, 2025+)
- All numbers reproducible from `cities/lasvegas.json` fixtures via `scripts/run_city_stats.py`

## Regulatory context
Clark County, City of Las Vegas, and City of Henderson all operate distinct STR permit regimes, Clark County's is generally permissive in unincorporated areas, City of Las Vegas operates a permit system within city limits, and Henderson operates its own STR registration. STR-intent buyers should verify the property's jurisdiction (incorporation status varies by address across the Las Vegas Valley). HOA-level restrictions are the more common practical constraint, many Summerlin, Anthem, and Lake Las Vegas HOAs prohibit STR operation within their communities regardless of city or county allowance. Verify HOA covenants before underwriting STR-intent acquisitions. Material participation under §469 is achievable for self-managing operators given Las Vegas's mature property-management ecosystem; document hours contemporaneously. Most cost-seg-relevant Las Vegas property runs as either short-term rental (where allowed) or long-term rental, fix-and-flip activity is comparatively limited relative to Texas Sun Belt metros.
