Nevada LLC Annual Report Requirement
Every Nevada LLC must file an Annual List of Officers, Directors, and Registered Agent — commonly called the annual report — with the Nevada Secretary of State each year. The filing fee is $150.
What the Annual Report Includes
- LLC legal name and Nevada Business ID number
- Principal office address
- Registered agent name and physical Nevada address
- Name and address of at least one manager or managing member
Privacy note: Nevada does not require disclosure of all LLC members, ownership percentages, or capital contributions in the annual report. This is one of Nevada's most significant privacy advantages — member information stays private. Only the designated manager or managing member needs to be listed.
First Annual Report: Your first annual report is due in the second year of your LLC's existence, not the first. The annual list for new LLCs covers the period from formation through the end of the first anniversary month.
Nevada Business License Renewal
In addition to the annual report, all Nevada LLCs must annually renew their State Business License. The renewal fee is $200/year.
The Nevada State Business License is required of nearly every business operating in Nevada. It is not an industry-specific license — it is a general license required for all LLCs simply to be authorized to conduct business in the state.
Business License vs. Annual Report: Key Distinction
- Annual Report ($150): Filed with the Nevada Secretary of State; updates entity information on record
- Business License Renewal ($200): Renews your authority to legally conduct business in Nevada
- Both are due at the same time and can be filed together at sos.nv.gov
Note: Some Nevada counties and cities also require local business licenses in addition to the state license. If your LLC has a physical presence in a Nevada city or county, check local requirements separately.
Deadlines and Due Dates
Nevada uses an anniversary-based due date, not a fixed calendar deadline. Your annual report and business license renewal are both due by the last day of the month in which your LLC was originally formed.
Due Date Examples
- LLC formed January 5 → Annual filings due January 31 each year
- LLC formed March 22 → Annual filings due March 31 each year
- LLC formed July 15 → Annual filings due July 31 each year
- LLC formed November 1 → Annual filings due November 30 each year
Set a calendar reminder: Unlike some states that send reminder notices, you should not rely solely on state notifications. Create an annual calendar reminder 30 days before your deadline. Missing it costs $75 in late penalties — and worse, risks revocation.
Grace Period
Nevada does not provide a grace period after the deadline. A $75 late penalty applies immediately if you file after the due date. Filing promptly before the deadline is always the best approach.
Late Penalties and Consequences
Failing to file on time has escalating consequences:
Immediate: $75 Late Penalty
The moment your annual report deadline passes without a filing, a $75 late penalty is added to your outstanding balance. You must pay the $150 annual report fee + $200 business license renewal + $75 penalty = $425 total to bring your LLC current.
Extended Non-Compliance: Administrative Revocation
If you continue to not file, the Nevada Secretary of State will revoke your LLC's certificate of organization. Consequences of revocation include:
- LLC loses its legal standing to do business in Nevada
- LLC cannot enter into enforceable contracts
- LLC cannot initiate lawsuits in Nevada courts
- Members may lose their limited liability protection
- Banks may freeze or close business accounts
Reinstatement
A revoked LLC can be reinstated by filing a Reinstatement Application and paying all overdue fees plus penalties. The reinstatement process costs more in time and money than simply staying compliant. There is also no guarantee of immediate reinstatement — the Secretary of State reviews and processes applications, which takes time.
Registered Agent Requirement
Beyond the annual filings, your Nevada LLC must maintain a valid registered agent with a physical Nevada address at all times. This is an ongoing requirement — not just at formation.
- Must be a Nevada resident individual OR a business entity authorized in Nevada
- Must have a physical Nevada street address (no PO Boxes)
- Must be available during normal business hours
- If you change your registered agent, file a Statement of Change ($60) with the Nevada SOS

How to File Your Nevada Annual Report
Both the annual report and business license renewal are filed together at the Nevada Secretary of State's online portal:
- Visit sos.nv.gov and navigate to the business filings section
- Search for your LLC by name or Nevada Business ID number
- Select "Annual List" filing for your LLC
- Verify or update your information — registered agent address, principal office, manager information
- Pay the fees — $150 annual report + $200 business license renewal = $350 total by credit card
- Save your confirmation — download the filed document for your records
Online filing is the fastest method. Mail filings are also accepted but take significantly longer to process and create risk of missing the deadline.
