What an LLC costs in Nevada
$425 in your first year. That's $75 to file with Nevada Secretary of State, and about $350 a year to keep it in good standing after that.
First-year breakdown
- State filing fee $75 One-time, paid when you form the LLC
- Annual List of Managers or Managing Members $150 Initial list due within 30 days of filing Articles of Organization; thereafter annually by the last day of the month in which the Articles were originally filed.
- Minimum state tax $200 No corporate/LLC income or franchise tax. BUT Nevada requires a separate MANDATORY annual State Business Licence: $200/year under NRS 76.130 (the $500 rate applies only to corporations). This is charged IN ADDITION TO the $150 Annual List — two separate mandatory annual charges totalling $350/year.
- Total, first year $425

Keeping it alive
Your annual list of managers or managing members
| Filing | Annual List of Managers or Managing Members |
|---|---|
| How often | annual |
| Fee | $150 |
| When it's due | Initial list due within 30 days of filing Articles of Organization; thereafter annually by the last day of the month in which the Articles were originally filed. |
| If you're late | Statutory late-filing penalty applies for a delinquent Annual List or Business Licence under NRS 86 and NRS 76; continued non-compliance leads to default status and eventual revocation of the charter. Exact penalty amount not confirmed. |
| If you keep ignoring it | LLCs that fail to file the Annual List or maintain the State Business Licence go into default and are ultimately administratively revoked. |
State tax: No corporate/LLC income or franchise tax. BUT Nevada requires a separate MANDATORY annual State Business Licence: $200/year under NRS 76.130 (the $500 rate applies only to corporations). This is charged IN ADDITION TO the $150 Annual List — two separate mandatory annual charges totalling $350/year.
What we're less sure about
Caveats on this page
- HIGHEST RECURRING COST IN THE DATASET: $350/year ($150 Annual List + $200 State Business Licence), both mandatory. Nevada's reputation as a cheap incorporation state does not survive contact with the fee schedule — worth its own content page.
- $75 + $150 initial Annual List + $200 Business Licence = $425 first year.
- nvsos.gov itself is behind Incapsula bot protection and blocked every fetch. Figures come from the official Nevada Revised Statutes on leg.state.nv.us, cross-checked against a verbatim statute mirror — both quote identical amounts, hence high confidence despite the SOS site being unreachable.
- Late-penalty amounts and exact revocation timelines not confirmed.
