Nevada LLC compliance for 2026: the $150 Annual List and $200 state business license, anniversary-month deadlines, registered agent rules and state taxes.
This guide is general information, not legal or tax advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship. It reports what each state publishes about filing deadlines, fees, and the consequences of missing them, with the sources this page cites. It cannot tell you what your own company owes: the date turns on when and where you formed, states change these rules between our reviews, and in several states an entity-level tax falls due in a year when no report does. Confirm your own dates with the filing office named on this page before you rely on one here, because the penalty for missing a deadline can be administrative dissolution of the company.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
