The issue of local contractors being required to carry a State Contractor’s License and up to four individual local business licenses to do normal business within the Las Vegas metropolitan area was addressed by the Southern Nevada Regional Planning Coalition of local governments. Legislation was passed in 2011 that required local governments to create a regional business license for contractors. The finished product included the development of a system which allows contractors to manage their regional license in their “home” jurisdiction without direct interaction with any secondary local governments.  All fees, information and changes are managed at one location and passed through the central database and financial systems to secondary entities.
