Who licenses driveway and paving work
The Nevada State Contractors Board licenses paving of streets, driveways and parking lots under A-16, sealing and striping under A-8, and concrete under C-5. A repair or maintenance job under $1,000 can be exempt if it needs no building permit and isn't part of a larger project (NRS 624.031).1-3 Check a license with the Nevada State Contractors Board.
Driveways onto a state highway

In the Lake Tahoe Basin, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency regulates land coverage, and driveways count toward it. Elsewhere in Nevada, the state's construction stormwater permit starts at 1 acre of disturbed land.5-6
Door-to-door sales
Nevada gives a door-to-door buyer the right to rescind, and requires a cancellation form (NRS 598.230 and 598.250).7
