All businesses or individuals who construct or alter any building, highway, road, parking facility, railroad, excavation, or other structure in Nevada must be licensed by the Nevada State Contractors Board. Contractors, including subcontractors and specialty contractors must be licensed before submitting bids.

Nevada has specific regulated statutory lien waiver forms that must be used. To waive lien rights in Nevada, the waiver must use the statutory form and have it signed by the claimant. Both conditional and unconditional lien waivers are allowed, but conditional is viewed as the safer option.

The qualifying individual for a contractor's license is required to pass the written Business and Law (Construction Management Survey exam) and trade examinations unless he or she meets the requirements for a waiver. The Nevada State Contractors Board has contracted with PSI Licensure (PSI) to administer the exams.

You must obtain a Nevada contractors license in order to conduct business in Nevada. Nevada has limited reciprocal agreements with California, Arizona and Utah that recognize the experience qualifications for certain trades and may eliminate the requirement for a trade examination.

The easiest kind of contractor's license is a Class ?B? Contractor's License. This license allows you to do general contracting work. There are also licenses for specialty contracting work called a Class ?C? Contractor's License. These are for jobs like plumbing or electrical.

General contractor license fees You must pay a non-refundable application fee of $300. Upon approval, you'll pay $600 for a two-year license (one-year licenses are not available). While not a fee, residential contractors are also required to contribute to a Residential Recovery Fund for the state of Nevada.
