What does Nevada require in a contractor's advertising?
Chapter 624 of the Nevada Revised Statutes covers contractor licensing. Four points reach into marketing.
| Rule | What it says | What it means for marketing |
|---|---|---|
| NRS 624.720 | Unlawful to advertise as a contractor without a license in the right classification. All advertising must include the name of the contractor's company and the license number | Number on every page, ad, truck, and directory profile |
| NRS 624.720 | Advertising covers signs, vehicles, publications, broadcasts, internet, and directory listings | Your Business Profile and social profiles count |
| NRS 624.031 | Work under $1,000 may be exempt. The exemption is lost if a permit is required or the work is plumbing, electrical, refrigeration, heating, or air conditioning | A handyman site must not offer those trades |
| NAC 624.640 | Bids and contracts include the license number and any monetary limit on the license. A bid over the limit is void | Do not advertise job sizes above your limit |
| NRS 624.510 | The recovery fund can pay up to $40,000 per claimant | A reason for homeowners to hire licensed |
| NRS 624.700 | A contract with an unlicensed contractor is void from the start | Explains why the license matters to the customer |
Classifications. Plumbing and heating is C-1, electrical is C-2, roofing and siding is C-15, and refrigeration and air conditioning is C-21. Show the classification beside the number. Customers and the board both look for it.
The Business Profile is advertising. The statute names internet and directory listings. Put the license number in the profile description and on each social profile, as well as the site footer.
Explain the recovery fund. A homeowner who hires a licensed contractor may be eligible for up to $40,000 from the state's recovery fund if things go wrong. A homeowner who hires unlicensed has a void contract. Two sentences on your site saying so do more than any badge.
Your monetary limit is a marketing limit. If your license caps the size of a single job, do not publish project photos or price ranges above it.
This is a summary, not legal advice. Read the current rule before you publish.
