Under NRS 624, which type of work does NOT require a contractor's license in Nevada?
Correct Answer
A) Installing $300 worth of tile
Work under $500 in total cost generally does not require a contractor's license under NRS 624, but other factors may apply.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
NRS 624 exempts work where the total cost of the project (labor and materials combined) is under $500. Installing $300 worth of tile falls below this threshold, so no license is required for that single job.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: Painting a house for $600
Painting a house for $600 exceeds the $500 threshold under NRS 624, so a contractor's license is required. The $100 difference matters legally.
Option C: Building a $400 storage shed
Building a $400 storage shed may seem to fall under $500, but constructing a structure involves work that could trigger licensing requirements beyond the dollar threshold depending on scope and local ordinances. The tile installation is the cleaner exemption.
Option D: Installing a $800 ceiling fan
Installing a $800 ceiling fan far exceeds the $500 threshold and involves electrical work, which requires a licensed contractor in Nevada.
Memory Technique
Think '$500 Stop Sign': once a project hits $500, you need a license. Below that, you can go without one.
