Nevada Contractors

Stop Risking Your License,
Lien Rights, and Payment

Nevada's licensing laws (NRS 624), lien laws (NRS 108), and mandatory contract requirements (Assembly Bill 39) impose strict requirements. Non-compliance can cost you everything.

Void Contracts
Contracts missing mandatory elements under AB 39 are void and unenforceable—you cannot collect payment, even for completed work.
NSCB Discipline
The Nevada State Contractors Board can impose fines up to $10,000 per violation, suspend, or revoke your license for non-compliance.
Loss of Lien Rights
Failure to comply with NRS 108 notice and recording requirements means you lose your right to lien—and your leverage for payment.
