The Nevada annual report filing fee is a $150 minimum charge that corporations must pay when filing annual reports under NRS 78.150. This can be paid by mail or online. The annual and biannual reports are the information that must be updated with the Nevada Secretary of State's office by the corporate entity.

Annual Reports for Corporations

The information required for a corporation to file its annual report is the annual list of officers information, the Secretary of State of Nevada's information, and a list that's created upon startup and then annually updated. This list details the names and addresses of the corporation's officers and its directors.

Deadline for Filing an Annual Report in Nevada

The last day of your registration anniversary month is the day when your annual reports are due each year. For example, if you filed for incorporation or foreign-qualified corporation in mid-March, then the annual report that you need to file will be due the last day of March every year.

Late Filing Penalties

There are a number of penalties for filing your corporation's annual report late in Nevada. The penalties include:

  • A late fee of $75.
  • The loss of good standing.
  • The business is entered into a default status.
  • If not resolved within one year, the business entity may be completely revoked or dissolved by the Secretary of State of Nevada.

Annual Reports for Limited Liability Corporations

For a limited liability corporation or LLC, the information that must be included with the annual report is the annual list of the LLC's managers or its members, the information for the Nevada Secretary of State's office, and the annually prepared list of the LLC's managers or its members. An LLC's annual report can be filed by mail or online. The state's annual filing fee for an LLC is $350. The regulation governing this filing is NRS 86.263.

In Nevada, the filing fee a corporation pays hinges on the authorized shares' value. When calculating the filing fee for your Articles of Incorporation, you must know how many shares are being authorized for your corporation and the par value of each share.

Initial Nevada LLC Formation Fees

When forming a limited liability company in Nevada, business owners are required to pay a combination of mandatory state fees totaling $425:

  • Articles of Organization Filing Fee: $75
  • Initial List of Managers or Members: $150
  • State Business License Fee: $200

If filing online, a processing fee of approximately 2.5% applies, bringing the total closer to $435.63. These costs are payable to the Nevada Secretary of State and are required regardless of whether the business is active or dormant.

Optional startup expenses may include:

  • Name Reservation: $25 (valid for 90 days)
  • Expedited Processing: Ranges from $125 to $1,000 depending on the turnaround time
  • Registered Agent Service: $50 to $300 annually if hiring a commercial agent

These additional services are not mandatory but can streamline the filing process or support compliance for out-of-state owners.

LLC Annual Report Deadlines

The last day of your LLC's registration anniversary month is when your annual reports for the LLC are due. That means if you filed papers to incorporate your LLC in early March, then the annual report you have to file is due by the last day of March every year.

There are several penalties for filing your LLC's annual report late. The penalties include a late fee of $100, a loss of good standing, and entering default. Also, if left unresolved for a year, the Secretary of State of Nevada can then dissolve or revoke your LLC's existence. Like a corporation's annual report; any person within your LLC who has authority can file your annual reports for the LLC online. If the paper form is used, a manager must sign it. The original signatures aren't required by the Secretary of State.

Annual Nevada LLC Fees and Renewal Requirements

To keep a Nevada LLC in good standing, businesses must pay recurring annual fees to the Secretary of State. As of 2025, the required fees include:

  • Annual List of Managers or Members: $150
  • State Business License Renewal Fee: $200

These two payments are due on or before the last day of the anniversary month in which the LLC was formed. For example, if your LLC was formed on June 15, your filings are due by June 30 each year.

Failing to submit either document on time will result in late penalties and possible administrative dissolution. Business owners should mark these deadlines to avoid losing their LLC status and incurring unnecessary fees.

Annual Report Filing for Nonprofits

A nonprofit's annual report must include a list of officers, which is prepared yearly, information on the Secretary of State of Nevada, and the annual list of officers and directors of the nonprofit organization. You have the option of filing by mail or filing online. The Nevada state fee for filing your annual report in Nevada is $50. You must add another $200 if you don't have a 501c exemption. The law governing this is NRS 82.523. The deadline for filing the annual report for your nonprofit is the last day of your registration anniversary month.

Late Filing Penalties for Nonprofits

If the annual report for your nonprofit is filed late, there's a $50 late fee. When the reports are late, your non-profit entity falls out of good standing and enters default. After a year, the nonprofit can be administratively dissolved or revoked by the Secretary of State of Nevada. The annual reports can be filed over the internet with anyone within the corporation who is given authority. If filing using a paper form, an officer of the nonprofit must sign the document.

Other Potential Nevada LLC Fees

Beyond standard filing and renewal fees, Nevada LLC owners may incur other optional or situational charges:

  • Registered Agent Fees: If you hire a commercial registered agent, expect to pay between $50 and $300 annually.
  • Name Reservation Fee: $25 if reserving a business name in advance of filing.
  • Amendments or Changes: Filing fees vary for amendments to Articles of Organization, conversions, or changes in managers.
  • Certified Copies or Certificates of Good Standing: Typically range from $30 to $50, depending on the document.
  • Reinstatement Fees: If your LLC is revoked or dissolved for failure to file, reinstatement fees may exceed $400, depending on how long the LLC has been out of compliance.

These fees may vary depending on the type of service requested, the urgency of the request, and whether the filing is submitted online or via mail.
