Nevada: 2 working days before you dig.

USA North 811 · NRS ch. 455, §§455.082, .105, .110, .137; NAC 455.165

Read off the statute on . If it has moved since, tell us and we will re-read it.

A waiting period is not always permission. Some states also require that every operator has answered before you break ground, and some require you to mark your own dig path first. Where we have read that requirement, it is in the notes on this page. Where this page is silent, we have not checked it yet — silence here is not the same as absence. We are working through the rest and dating each one as it lands.

Every figure here was read off NRS ch. 455, §§455.082, .105, .110, .137; NAC 455.165, not off a summary — summaries of these get the unit wrong, and the unit is usually a weekend. Read the source.
