New restricted contractor license for remodels

Nevada now offers a restricted contractor license. To qualify, you must have at least 2 years of experience and complete a Board‑approved business course within the last year. The license lasts 2 years and can be renewed. After 2+ years with no open complaints, you can apply for a full license. Work is limited to remodeling or improvements on existing single‑family homes or units in buildings up to three stories above ground and one below, with no increase to enclosed space. The Board decides which trades are allowed, most full‑license rules do not apply, and NRS 624.268 still applies. Certain specialized trades named in NRS 624.031(6)(b) and (c) are excluded.

Restricted-license fees, bond, $7,000 cap

Each restricted-license job has a $7,000 limit for labor and materials, unless the Board sets a higher amount by rule. You must post a surety bond or cash deposit of at least $2,000 before the license; the Board may require more. The Board cannot require a CPA‑prepared financial statement. Application and license fees must be reasonable and cannot exceed the amounts in NRS 624.280. The Board sets application and renewal steps by regulation.
