NV contractor license bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
Nevada licenses contractors through the State Contractors Board, which conditions every license on a surety bond. The Board sets the amount from your contract volume and financial responsibility — we issue whatever figure your license requires at a flat 3%, with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor bond actually guarantees
Nevada licenses contractors through the State Contractors Board under NRS Chapter 624, and conditions the license on a surety bond. The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with Nevada contractor law and protects owners, subcontractors, suppliers, and employees harmed by a violation.
Under NRS 624.270, the Board sets the bond amount from your financial and professional responsibility and the aggregate value of your contracts — the statute runs from a $1,000 floor up to a $500,000 cap. For residential pool and spa contractors (the C-1d classification), NRS 624.276 adds further bond and deposit requirements.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Nevada with harmed parties as the protected beneficiaries. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who finish jobs and pay their subs treat the bond as a license formality.
