Nevada laws by category

Nevada has no statewide consumer-fireworks scheme — each county regulates sale, use, storage and possession by ordinance (NRS 244.367). Exceptions may apply — read the full rule.

Nevada requires a permit to carry concealed, and the minimum age is 21 (18 to 20 qualifying military only). It is shall-issue through the county sheriff, and Nevada is not permitless.

Radar detectors are legal in passenger vehicles — Nevada has no state ban on them.

In Nevada, outside incorporated cities and towns, burning brush, grass, logs or other flammable material on any land — yours, another's or public — requires a written State Forester Firewarden permit unless NDF finds no fire hazard exists (NRS 472.520). Exceptions may apply — read the full rule.

In Nevada, you need a freshwater fishing license from age 12 (under 12 exempt). Licenses are issued by the Nevada Dept. of Wildlife (NDOW).

Statewide sales and use tax rate is 6.85% (the minimum in every county); counties add local-option taxes for combined rates of 6.85%–8.375% — e.g. Clark/Las Vegas 8.375%, Washoe/Reno 8.265%, Carson City & Storey & Churchill 7.60%, most rural counties 6.85%. Excludes any federal tax.

Recreational cannabis is legal in Nevada for adults 21 and older within state limits — up to 2.5 ounces of usable cannabis and one-quarter ounce of concentrate at a time (NRS 678D.200). Exceptions may apply — read the full rule.

Hunter orange is not required by law in Nevada; it is recommended for safety only.

Nevada requires boaters born on or after Jan 1, 1983 to complete an NDOW-approved boater education course before operating a boat on Nevada's interstate waters.

Switchblades are not on Nevada's prohibited-weapons list in NRS 202.350(1), so automatic, OTF and gravity knives are legal to own. Carrying one concealed can still be charged as concealing an "other dangerous or deadly weapon" under NRS 202.350(1)(d)(3), a category C felony, so carry it openly.

Nevada (NRS 493.103): a property owner/occupant may sue for trespass if a drone flies under 250 ft over their property after prior notice — a civil remedy, not a criminal surveillance ban.
