Tree work rules in Nevada

Nevada doesn't license arborists. A contractor's license from the Nevada State Contractors Board in the C-10 landscape classification covers planting and maintaining trees.¹

Ask your city or county government whether removing a tree needs a permit where you live.

If a tree is touching the power line to your house, keep clear and call your utility first. Clearing the line is the utility's job, and a tree company can't start until it's done.

In Nevada the limit is 10 feet from lines up to 50,000 volts, and more above that. Closer work needs notice to the utility and its consent first.²

Nevada's one-call law doesn't name stump or root removal; it covers earth moved with mechanical equipment. Call 811 before a stump is ground or dug out, and the one-call center can say whether your job needs a locate.²

In Nevada pest control companies need a business license from the Nevada Department of Agriculture, with a primary principal and licensed operators for each category. Ornamentals and turf fall under Limited landscape, C1.^3-4
