Warnings for Tahoe planning rules

Peace officers on Nevada waters of Lake Tahoe can handle some Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) rule violations with education, an oral advisory, or a warning citation. They use TRPA sections 60.1.3(E) and 84.10 as they stood on August 25, 2024. If they issue a warning, they must report your name and address to TRPA. During emergencies or disasters, law enforcement and public safety agencies are not bound by those TRPA sections while protecting life or property.
