Nevada Construction Compliance Requirements

Nevada requires a 20-day Preliminary Notice from subcontractors under NRS 108.245. A Notice of Completion triggers lien deadlines: 90 days for direct contractors and 40 days for subcontractors from the Notice of Completion (or 90 days from actual completion if no notice filed).

Nevada requires prevailing wages on public works projects over $100,000 under NRS 338.020. Nevada Labor Commissioner sets rates. Certified payroll required. Prevailing wage applies to both state and local public projects.

Workers compensation required for all employers with 1+ employees. Minimum $1M general liability typical. Nevada uses a competitive private insurance market. Employers can self-insure with approval.

Nevada operates a state OSHA plan through NVOSHA (Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Administration). Covers both public and private sector. Standards generally mirror federal OSHA with state enforcement.
