Nevada Annual Report Filing: Due Date, Fee, and How to File

Ask the Nevada Secretary of State for your "annual report" and you will get two filings back. Nevada bundles its yearly compliance into the Annual List of Managers or Managing Members (NRS 86.263) and the State Business License renewal (NRS 76.100). Together they are what other states call an annual report, and together they run $350 per year for an LLC. Both are handled in a single checkout on the state's SilverFlume portal.

Understanding how the pieces fit, when they come due, and what happens if you file late keeps your Nevada business in good standing and away from penalties.

What Counts as the Annual Report in Nevada?

Nevada splits the yearly filing into two required parts:

Annual List of Managers or Managing Members: Filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division, under NRS 86.263. Nevada wants a complete roster: the names, titles, and addresses of all managers if the LLC is manager-managed, or all managing members if it is member-managed. Corporations file the equivalent list of officers and directors under their own chapter.

State Business License renewal: Required by NRS 76.100 for the same entities, renewed every year alongside the list. It is a license renewal rather than an information filing, but the state collects it in the same transaction.

You can complete both online through the official SilverFlume business portal or on paper forms, and the online route is how most filers go.

When Is the Nevada Annual Report Due?

Your deadline is tied to your own calendar, not the state's. The Annual List and the license renewal are due on or before the last day of your LLC's anniversary month, meaning the month in which the LLC was originally formed. An LLC approved in June has until June 30 every year.

The filing window opens roughly 90 days before the end of your anniversary month, so you have about a quarter of the year to get it done early. There is no grace period on the other side of the deadline. For foreign LLCs registered in Nevada, the anniversary month is the month you registered with the state under NRS 86.5461, not the month you formed back home.

The Nevada Annual Report Fee: $350 Per Year

For an LLC, the yearly total breaks down as:

• Annual List of Managers or Managing Members: $150 (NRS 86.263)
• State Business License renewal: $200 (NRS 76.100)
• Combined: $350 per year in state fees

The statutory text behind the list requirement is in NRS 86.263. Corporations pay more: their list fee starts at $150 and scales with authorized stock up to a maximum of $11,125, and their business license is $500, so a small corporation pays at least $650 per year. Nonprofit corporations under NRS Chapter 82 file a flat $50 list and are exempt from the State Business License entirely.

How to File the Nevada Annual Report

The filing itself is manageable once you have your management roster together:

1. Confirm your anniversary month by looking up your LLC in the Secretary of State's business records, then plan to file inside the window that opens about 90 days before the month ends.
2. Sign in to SilverFlume and pull up your entity. The portal presents the Annual List and the State Business License renewal as one combined task.
3. Complete the Annual List with every manager (manager-managed) or every managing member (member-managed), including each person's name, title, and address. Partial rosters do not satisfy NRS 86.263.
4. Confirm your registered agent information while you are in the filing. The agent must hold a Nevada street address, and a PO box alone will not qualify.
5. Renew the State Business License in the same checkout and pay the $350 combined fee.
6. Save the confirmation the portal issues so you have proof of filing for your records.

Prefer paper? The state publishes a combined form you can mail to the Commercial Recordings Division, though processing takes longer than the online route.

Late Filing: The $175 Penalty and the Road to Revocation

Missing the deadline gets expensive in stages:

The immediate hit: A late Annual List draws a $75 penalty and a late State Business License renewal draws a $100 penalty, so filing late typically means $175 in penalties stacked on top of the normal $350.

Default status: The day after your anniversary month ends, an unfiled entity is marked "Default" in the state's records. That status is visible to banks, lenders, and anyone else who searches your business.

Revocation: Stay in default and the Secretary of State moves the entity to revoked status, which strips your good standing and puts your liability protection at risk. After roughly five years of continued non-compliance, Nevada marks the entity "Permanently Revoked."

Climbing back out: Reinstatement means paying the back fees and penalties that accumulated, plus the filings you skipped. It is always cheaper to file on time.

Your First Year: Why Formation Comes to $425

New Nevada LLCs meet these same two filings on day one. The Articles of Organization carry a $75 fee, but Nevada requires the Initial List of Managers or Managing Members ($150) and the first State Business License ($200) at the time of filing, which is why forming actually comes to $425 rather than $75. From the first anniversary onward, the recurring pair costs $350 per year.

Annual filing reminders: We alert you ahead of your anniversary month so the Annual List and license renewal get filed inside the window, not after it.

Document monitoring: Notices the Secretary of State sends to your registered agent reach you the same day we receive them, so nothing about your standing comes as a surprise.

Filing the Annual List and renewing the license remain your filings to submit, but with reminders and same-day forwarding you will have everything you need to submit them on time.

Nevada's Trade-Off Still Favors You

The $350 yearly obligation is higher than most states charge, but Nevada pairs it with no state income tax and a business climate built around privacy and predictable rules. For most profitable companies, the trade works out clearly in Nevada's favor.
