Yes - one single-family dwelling per parcel (Code 4-2-3.A.1).
Yes - factory-built/modular on a permanent foundation qualifies as a single-family dwelling.
Yes (on a permanent foundation). Nevada NRS 489 requires counties to treat HUD-code manufactured homes as equivalent to single-family dwellings on a foundation; AR/SL permit single-family dwellings. Outside a mobile-home park/subdivision, must meet anchoring/foundation standards (NRS 489; Elko Code Ch. 11 / 4-13-5-5). Confirm with Community Development (775) 738-5282.
Conditional - manufactured/mobile homes subject to NRS 489 anchoring/foundation standards and a placement permit; mobile-home parks are separately regulated (Ch. 11). Verify with Community Development (775) 738-5282.
Yes (on foundation). Nevada SB 150 (2021) requires all counties to allow tiny homes (<=400 SF, IRC Appendix Q) in any district that allows single-family residences; AR qualifies. A Tiny Home on Wheels (THOW) is treated as an RV.
Yes - on-site septic required where no central sewer; permit via Nevada Division of Environmental Protection / Elko County.
A Right-of-Way permit is required for any work in a county road easement (775-738-6816 ext. 215); an access/driveway permit is typically required. Verify.
None known
Allowable Uses
No (as a permanent residence in standard rural zones). RV storage is an accessory use in AR-CRD zones only for owner-licensed RVs - not for habitation; permanent RV living requires an RV-park district. Ask Community Development (775) 738-5282 whether a temporary occupancy/construction permit exists for your zone.
Commonly allowed via a temporary permit during active construction in rural Elko, but not codified in the AR district text. Verify with Community Development (775) 738-5282.
Short-term only, likely permitted. The OS zone explicitly allows noncommercial seasonal recreation including camping; for AR/SL no prohibition on short-term private camping was found, but no express extended-camping authorization. Confirm day limits with Community Development (775) 738-5282.
Yes - more clearly than RV camping. The OS zone explicitly names camping as a permitted noncommercial seasonal recreation use; for AR/SL no prohibition exists. Short-term tent camping on your own land is generally permitted in Elko rural zones.
