When exactly is my Nevada LLC annual report due?

Your Nevada annual filing is due on or before the last day of the month in which the anniversary of your organization occurs. If you organized in March 2024, the Annual List of Managers or Managing Members is due by March 31 each following year. Your first year is handled differently: NRS 86.263(1) requires the Initial List of Managers or Managing Members, at the same $150 fee, to be filed at the same time as your articles of organization, so the first Annual List does not come due until the last day of your anniversary month the following year. You file through SilverFlume, Nevada's official online portal at nvsos.gov. The fee is $150, and NRS 76.100 requires the $200 State Business License renewal at the same time, so budget $350. There is no reduced rate for small or dormant LLCs. Missing the deadline adds a $75 penalty to the list under NRS 86.263 and a $100 penalty to the license under NRS 76.100, and an unfiled list eventually costs you your charter under NRS 86.263. Mark your anniversary month now and submit through SilverFlume at least a week before month's end.

How do I access Nevada's SilverFlume portal to file my annual report?

Access SilverFlume by visiting the Nevada Secretary of State at nvsos.gov and opening the SilverFlume online filing system from the business services area. Create an account tied to your LLC's Nevada entity number. Once logged in, you complete the Annual List of Managers or Managing Members, which asks for your current registered agent information, principal business address, and manager or managing member details. The fee is $150, payable by card or ACH through the portal, and NRS 76.100 requires you to renew the $200 State Business License in the same session, for $350 total. The filing is due by the last day of the month in which the anniversary of your organization falls, not on a statewide date, and missing it triggers a $75 list penalty and a $100 license penalty. To begin, gather your formation documents and entity number, then visit nvsos.gov to create your SilverFlume account well before your anniversary month ends.

What happens if I file my Nevada annual report late?

Nevada charges two fixed statutory penalties rather than an escalating or monthly one. NRS 86.263 adds a $75 penalty to the $150 Annual List fee once the list is in default, and NRS 76.100 adds a $100 penalty for renewing the $200 State Business License late, so a fully late LLC owes $175 in penalties on top of the $350 in base charges. The severe consequence is not the money. Under NRS 86.263, on the first day of the first anniversary of the month following the month in which the filing was required, your charter is revoked and your right to transact business is forfeited, which leaves the entity unable to carry on business in Nevada and is difficult and expensive to reverse. The Annual List is due by the last day of your anniversary month. If you are already late, file immediately through the Nevada Secretary of State's SilverFlume portal rather than waiting for the next cycle.

Do I need to maintain a registered agent in Nevada for my LLC?

Yes, Nevada requires all LLCs to maintain a registered agent with a physical address in the state at all times. You can serve as your own registered agent if you have a Nevada street address, hire a commercial registered agent service for an annual fee, or designate another Nevada resident or business entity. The registered agent receives official correspondence, legal documents, and notices on behalf of your LLC, and the Secretary of State uses that address to serve lawsuits and compliance notices. If your agent is unreachable or the address is invalid, you can miss the anniversary-month deadline and end up in default on both the Annual List and the State Business License. You list the registered agent's name and address when you file your Articles of Organization, you confirm it on every Annual List, and you should update it immediately if the agent changes.

Nevada LLC Annual Compliance Requirements (2026)

Everything your Nevada LLC must do to stay in good standing, annual report deadlines, registered agent rules, and state-specific obligations.

First-Year Total$425

Annual Ongoing$350/yr

vs National Avg+ $192.97

By Edmond Hui · Last updated: August 22, 2026

Nevada is a business-friendly state with no personal income tax and no franchise tax on LLCs, but it is one of the most expensive states in the country to simply keep an LLC in good standing. The headline $75 Articles of Organization fee is misleading. NRS 86.263(1) requires the $150 Initial List of Managers or Managing Members to be filed at the same time as the articles, and NRS 76.100 requires the $200 State Business License to be obtained at the time of that initial list, so the unavoidable day-one total is $425, roughly $193 above the national average for first-year cost. That places Nevada 44th of 50 states on first-year cost and 45th of 50 on ongoing annual cost. After year one, the recurring charge is $350: a $150 Annual List plus the $200 license renewal, both due on or before the last day of the month in which the anniversary of your organization falls, not on a universal statewide date. Miss it and NRS 86.263 adds $75 to the list while NRS 76.100 adds $100 to the license, $175 in penalties on top of the $350. Nevada requires no newspaper publication, and its Commerce Tax under NRS Chapter 363C reaches only businesses above $4 million in Nevada gross revenue, so most small LLCs owe nothing there. The SilverFlume portal handles the filings, and Las Vegas and Reno anchor the state's hospitality, gaming technology and advanced manufacturing sectors.

Nevada-Specific Compliance Considerations

Anniversary Month Filing System

Unlike states that use a calendar-year deadline, Nevada requires the Annual List of Managers or Managing Members on or before the last day of the month in which the anniversary of your organization occurs. This personalized deadline means you track your own date rather than a universal state deadline, and it is the same date the State Business License renewal is due.

Two Mandatory Charges, Not One

The $150 Annual List under NRS 86.263 and the $200 State Business License under NRS 76.100 are independent mandatory charges with no small-business or zero-revenue exemption, so the real recurring cost is $350 a year. Budgeting only for the list understates your annual obligation by $200.

The Initial List Is Due at Formation

NRS 86.263(1) requires the Initial List of Managers or Managing Members to be filed at the same time as the articles of organization, and it carries the same $150 fee. Add the $200 State Business License that NRS 76.100 requires at that moment, and opening a Nevada LLC costs $425 on day one rather than the $75 articles fee alone.

Managers and Managing Members Are Named Publicly

Nevada is often marketed as a privacy state, but the filing itself is a list of managers or managing members, filed initially at formation and again every year. Those names go on the public record with each list, so treat Nevada's privacy advantage as narrower than the marketing suggests and confirm what a given filing discloses before relying on it.

No State Income Tax, but a Commerce Tax Above $4 Million

Nevada imposes no personal income tax and no franchise tax on LLCs. The Commerce Tax under NRS Chapter 363C is a separate charge that applies only to businesses with more than $4 million in Nevada gross revenue, so most small LLCs owe nothing there while still paying the $350 in yearly state charges.
