What is Industry Advisory – A10 Licenses – Las Vegas, NV?
The Industry Advisory – A10 Licenses is a notice from the City of Las Vegas Building and Safety Department, titled A-10 Contractor License Limitations, announcing that the department no longer issues permits to contractors licensed solely as an A-10 for certain plumbing work.
The advisory takes effect October 1st 2018. It covers work that includes installing water or gas plumbing service lines to fixtures that are not directly related to the pool or pool service equipment. Its examples are fire pits, fireplaces, barbeque stub outs and tiki torches, and it says the examples are not the only fixtures covered.
The advisory ties the limit to NRS 624.150 sub-classification A-10(F). Water or gas plumbing work that exceeds the scope of work defined there must be performed by a properly licensed plumbing contractor.
The document is signed by Michael Cunningham, P.E., Deputy Building and Safety Director. It is an announcement to the industry. It is not a permit application, a license application or a form that you fill in and file.
Who needs to file Industry Advisory – A10 Licenses – Las Vegas, NV?
The main audience is contractors in the City of Las Vegas who hold only an A-10 license and take on work that includes water or gas plumbing service lines to fixtures not directly related to the pool or pool service equipment. For that work the Building and Safety Department no longer issues them permits.
Others who benefit from reading it:
- Property owners and project managers who hire contractors for fire pits, fireplaces, barbeque stub outs, tiki torches or similar fixtures. Plumbing work beyond the A-10(F) scope under NRS 624.150 must be done by a properly licensed plumbing contractor.
- Licensed plumbing contractors who perform that work.
The advisory is limited to contractors licensed solely as an A-10. It does not describe the rules for any other license classification. Nothing in it asks you to sign, submit or return anything.
When to file Industry Advisory – A10 Licenses – Las Vegas, NV
Nothing is filed under this advisory. The triggering date is October 1st 2018, when the City of Las Vegas Building and Safety Department stopped issuing permits to contractors licensed solely as an A-10 for water or gas plumbing service lines to fixtures not directly related to the pool or pool service equipment. The advisory prints no end date, so the limit applies from that date onward. Check it before you quote, bid or apply for a permit for any fire pit, fireplace, barbeque stub out, tiki torch or similar fixture.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming an A-10 license alone allows you to pull a permit for water or gas plumbing service lines to fire pits, fireplaces, barbeque stub outs or tiki torches.
- Treating the four listed fixtures as the full list; the advisory says they are examples and that the list is not limited to them.
- Reading the limit as covering only pool work, when it applies to fixtures that are not directly related to the pool or pool service equipment.
- Applying for a permit as an A-10-only contractor after October 1st 2018 for work beyond the A-10(F) scope under NRS 624.150.
- Hiring an A-10-only contractor for plumbing work that exceeds that scope instead of a properly licensed plumbing contractor.
- Treating the advisory as an application or permit form to fill out and send in; it is a notice with no lines to complete.
