Nevada Residential Pool and Spa Contractor Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors who perform, or will perform, work concerning residential pools or spas in Nevada. The Board requires this bond — solely for the protection of consumers — before it issues or renews the license, and Nevada law is explicit that it sits on top of the standard contractor license bond: it is in addition to that bond, cannot be combined with it, and does not replace it. A pool or spa contractor therefore carries both.
Obligee: Nevada State Contractors Board (NSCB). Citation: NRS 624.276 (Bond and deposit: Additional requirements for contractors performing work concerning residential pools or spas).

Term & renewal
Term: Continuous in form, and maintained for at least 5 years — or longer if the Board requires it.
Renewal: Required at original licensure and at every renewal for as long as the contractor does residential pool or spa work. After 5 consecutive years the Board may relieve the contractor of the requirement.
Filing
Filed with the Nevada State Contractors Board before it issues or renews the license of a contractor who works on residential pools or spas. It is an additional bond that sits alongside your contractor license bond — Nevada law says expressly that it may not be combined with, and does not replace, any other bond required of you. You can satisfy it with a surety bond or, in lieu of the bond, a cash deposit established with the Board, so it is listed, and the Board fixes the amount for each contractor from financial and professional responsibility and the magnitude of operations, so the exact figure is confirmed when you apply. It is maintained for at least five years. Separately, the Board may require a pool or spa contractor who has been disciplined, has had a contract voided, or has drawn repeated complaints to obtain performance and payment bonds tied to the contract price before starting work. Authority: NRS 624.276.
