CE hours

Renewal fee
About $600. Fees change. Check the official site for the exact amount.
Late fee
About $150 for late filing of an application to renew an active license; about $75 for late filing of an inactive license renewal (NAC 624.130). Residential contractors also pay a Residential Recovery Fund assessment with each renewal (about $200 for monetary limit up to about $1,000,000, about $500 over about $1,000,000 but limited, about $1,000 unlimited, per the Board FAQ). A $200 biennial administrative fee applies if a cash deposit is used in place of a bond.
Grace period
No grace period: an unrenewed license is automatically suspended on the renewal date (NRS 624.283). It can be reinstated by filing a renewal application within 6 months after suspension.
Insurance
Proof of workers' compensation (industrial) insurance required to obtain, activate, maintain or renew an active license (or signed exemption affidavit if exempt). No statewide general-liability minimum found in NSCB sources. Bond amount set by the Board at licensing: $1,000 to $500,000 depending on classification, monetary limit, financial responsibility, experience; surety must be Nevada-authorized and rated A or better; bond must be continuous (surety cancels on 60 days' notice); cash bond alternative carries $200 biennial admin fee. bond_amount_usd left null because it is applicant-specific.

This information is here to help you plan, not to replace the board. Fee amounts are approximate and may be out of date. Deadlines and continuing education rules change too, sometimes without much notice. Always confirm with your licensing board and its official site before you rely on a date or an amount.
