The law of this state requires that a person or entity that enters into a contract to perform construction work be properly licensed by the Nevada State Contractors' Board for the category of work that the person or entity intends to perform.

Laws regarding licensed contractors are designed to protect the public. If you contract with someone who is not licensed to perform construction work, remedies against that person or entity may be limited to a suit in civil court.

You may be liable for damages arising out of any injuries to an unlicensed contractor or that contractors' employees, as well as withholding taxes, contributions pursuant to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act and contributions for industrial insurance, and unemployment.

I must comply with all State and Federal laws as an employer in the State of Nevada, including payroll deductions (FICA and income tax withholding), provide industrial insurance coverage, and pay the required unemployment compensation for that employee. )

Finally, you should be aware that construction performed on your property must comply
