Nevada Contractor Bonds for the Silver State

With a contractors license, you enhance your credibility with customers who are more likely to hire you for a job. You can also take on more lucrative projects. Most importantly, the state of Nevada mandates all contractors are licensed. The type of license you require and the costs associated with your licensing application vary depending on several criteria, including the type of projects you work on and the size of your business.

The Nevada State Contractors Board (NSCB) regulates contractor licensing requirements, one critical aspect of which is obtaining a Surety bond for your business.

A

Covers general engineering and any projects with “fixed works” requiring specialized engineering knowledge and skills. Subclassifications are available for various work projects, including bridges, highways, residential pools, industrial piping, and more. If working on pools and spas, you must file a Residential Pool and Spa License Bond in addition to the Contractor's License Bond.

B

Covers general building, which primarily consists of the construction and remodeling of buildings. Subclassifications are available for areas like commercial remodeling, pre-manufactured housing, and prefabricated steel structures.

C

Covers many specialty contracting categories, including plumbing, heating, electrical, carpentry, maintenance, minor repairs, masonry, roofing, and siding.

There is also an AB classification for those who plan to work under the general engineering and general building categories.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nevada Contractor Bonds

Getting licensed in Nevada comes with its own set of rules and requirements. To help you stay informed, here are answers to common questions about Nevada contractor bonds and related topics.

How much is a Nevada contractor license bond?

The bond amount varies based on factors like your license classification, financial responsibility, and project volume. The NSCB typically determines the exact amount during the licensing process.

Are there different bond requirements for residential versus commercial contractors in Nevada?

Bond requirements apply to all licensed contractors. Because the NSCB assesses bond amounts based on license type and scope of work, high-value commercial projects may trigger higher bond amounts than smaller residential jobs.

Does a Nevada contractor bond protect me from liability claims?

No, a contractor bond protects the public and the state by ensuring you follow licensing laws and meet contractual obligations. For personal protection against liability claims, you'll need General Liability and Workers' Compensation insurance.
