Nevada annual list and business licence: US$350 a year, due the last day of your month
A Nevada LLC renews twice in one filing each year: the annual list (US$150) and the state business licence (US$200). Both are due by the last day of the month it was formed in.
Late, they cost US$525. Left alone for a year, the charter is revoked. With us the year comes to US$419, agent included.
People choose Nevada for the strong shield and the lack of income tax, then meet the bill that pays for both: US$350 every year, on a date that belongs only to their company. Put in your formation day and you'll get every date that matters: when filing opens, when it's due, when the penalties start and the morning the state revokes the charter.
Key takeaways
- Due by the last day of your anniversary month, every year from the year after formation.
- US$150 annual list plus US$200 business licence, filed together: US$350.
- Late adds US$75 and US$100, so US$525, and the LLC is in default.
- Unfiled for a year, the charter is revoked; reinstatement is US$300 plus every missed year, and impossible after five years revoked.
- Every list names all managers, or all managing members, in public.
- With Heirson: US$419 a year, list, licence and agent.
Nevada annual list due date: the last day of your month
Nevada keeps the month you formed in and moves the date to its end. That's kind, because you get the whole month. It's also why Nevada owners miss it: the date is different for every company, so no general news or reminder will tell you when yours is. NRS 86.263 sets the date, lets you file up to 90 days early and has the state send a reminder.
Your month, its last day, every year. Filing opens 90 days before.
Nevada LLC annual fees: the list and the licence
The list tells the state who runs the company. The licence is Nevada's charge for being in business at all, and a Nevada LLC counts as doing business in Nevada simply by being formed there, run from abroad or not. No exemption in the statute fits an ordinary founder's LLC, and the state's business licence FAQ confirms that a single-member LLC needs one. The licence renews under NRS 76.130 in chapter 76 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, with its own US$100 late penalty.
- Nevada registered agent and street address
- Annual list and licence filed before your month ends
- US$350 paid to the state at cost
- A reminder before your month, and before 15 April
- Form 5472, US$179 a year if you add it
- Penalties on a list another provider let lapse
- Amendments, US$175 at the state
- A holding company as manager, quoted first
Where you live: pick it
US$150 plus US$200, every year, whatever the LLC earns.
Behind on the Nevada annual list: default, revocation, reinstatement
Nevada doesn't end a company quickly. It lets the fees pile up first: under chapter 86 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, a late LLC goes into default (NRS 86.272), is revoked a year later (NRS 86.274) and can be reinstated within limits (NRS 86.276). Pick how many yearly lists are unpaid to see roughly what it takes to bring the LLC back.
Our estimate from NRS 86.276 and 76.130: list fee and penalty, licence fee and penalty for each year, plus US$300 once the charter is revoked. The Secretary of State quotes the exact sum.
Reinstatement brings the LLC back as if the revocation hadn't happened, so contracts and the EIN carry on. A new LLC would mean new papers for the bank and the IRS, which is why it pays to settle within the five years.
One late year is US$525. Revoked, add US$300; past five revoked years, it's over.
Who the Nevada annual list names, and who it doesn't
Nevada is often called private. The list says otherwise about whoever manages the company, and says nothing about members who don't.
- Name and address of each manager
- If there's no manager, each managing member
- The registered agent
- A declaration, under penalty of perjury, that nobody is listed to hide who really controls the LLC for an unlawful purpose
- Members who don't manage
- The operating agreement
- The member list, which the LLC keeps at its registered office; the Secretary of State can demand it within three business days for a criminal investigation
A company can be the named manager, which keeps your own name off the list for lawful privacy; we quote it first. The declaration is the line Nevada draws: a nominee is fine, a nominee used to conceal wrongdoing is not.
Managers are named every year. Owners who don't manage are not.
The Nevada taxes an LLC run from abroad usually skips
The US$350 isn't a tax on profit, and for most founders abroad it's the only money Nevada sees. These are the state taxes that sound alarming and rarely apply.
No income tax, no commerce tax return under US$4 million of Nevada revenue.
The federal filing that sits beside the list
Nevada asks about managers. The IRS asks about money, and for a foreign owner its form carries a far bigger penalty than any Nevada filing.
Details are in the IRS Form 5472 instructions and our Form 5472 guide. If you add it to your Nevada plan, we file it for US$179 a year, US$598 a year all in.
One owner abroad: Form 5472 by 15 April, by fax or post, every year.
Other Nevada state fees you might meet
Fees for changes and papers come from the Secretary of State's forms and fees and chapter 86. Nevada charges more than most states for these, so they're worth knowing before you need one.
| Filing or paper | State fee | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Change of registered agent | US$60 | Paid when you move your agent to us |
| Amendment to the articles | US$175 | A new name, a new purpose, a correction |
| Certificate of good standing | US$50 | Only prints while the list is current |
| Certified copy | US$30 | Per certification, plus US$2 a page |
| Apostille | US$20 | US$75 with 24 hour service |
| 24 hour expedite | US$125 | Per filing; the licence rides with the list |
| Dissolution | US$100 | Closing on purpose, which stops the yearly bill |
Changes start at US$60. Closing properly, US$100, is cheaper than letting it lapse.
