Nevada Contractor License Scraper — NSCB

Extract licensed contractors from the Nevada State Contractors Board (NSCB) — the official registry of licensed contractors in Nevada. Choose counties and (optionally) a trade classification, and get clean records for every contractor: license number, business name, phone, address, trade classification, bond/monetary limit, expiry date and license status.

No code, no login. Run it from the Apify Console, on a schedule, or from your own app via the API. Results download as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or XML, or sync straight into Google Sheets, Airtable, HubSpot, Make, Zapier and n8n.

🏗️ Built for B2B lead generation, compliance & market research. Every record carries the license number, business name, phone and bond limit — perfect for building targeted lists of licensed contractors, verifying licenses, or analysing the Nevada construction market.

📋 What this scraper does

The Nevada State Contractors Board licenses every contractor operating in the state. This actor turns that public registry into a clean, structured dataset you can filter, analyse or feed into a CRM.

Pick your counties (and optionally a trade), and it will:

• ✅ Collect every matching licensed contractor
• ✅ Return the license number and license status (Active, Inactive, ...)
• ✅ Capture the business name, phone and full address
• ✅ Include the trade classification(s) (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, general building, ...)
• ✅ Report the monetary / bond limit and license expiry date
• ✅ Filter to active licenses only and by trade classification
• ✅ De-duplicate every contractor by license number
