Searching for a Nevada LLC annual report leads to a small surprise: Nevada doesn't use that name. As of 2026, Nevada LLCs file an Annual List and renew a State Business License every year. New owners should start with our Nevada LLC formation guide for the full setup.
Does Nevada Require an Annual Report for LLCs?
Yes, every Nevada LLC must file an Annual List each year, though not under the name most people expect. The filing searchers call an annual report is officially the Annual List, and it travels alongside a separate State Business License renewal.
Both pieces have their own legal homes. The Annual List sits under NRS 86.263, while the State Business License renewal lives in NRS 76.130, and both run through the Nevada Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division. For the wider picture of running the entity, our Nevada LLC hub covers formation, taxes, and compliance in one place. The point worth holding onto: one transaction, two obligations.
Nevada is the state where I see the most confusion over a single word. Owners search for an “annual report,” find the Annual List, and assume they are done at $150. They are not. The State Business License renewal is a second $200 line item that usually rides on the same filing.
Nevada Annual List Deadline: The Last Day of Your Anniversary Month
The Nevada Annual List is due on or before the last day of the month in which the LLC's anniversary falls. The trigger is the anniversary month, not the exact anniversary date. An LLC approved on April 9, 2026 files its first renewal by April 30, 2027, then by April 30 every year after.
This rule applies the same way to foreign LLCs, which follow the month of their Nevada registration. Nevada doesn't use a single fixed date such as April 15 for every entity. For 2026 filings, the safest habit is a recurring calendar reminder set the day the Articles of Organization clear.
How to Find Your Nevada LLC's Anniversary Month
Owners who can't recall their formation month can confirm it quickly. Nevada keeps this detail on the public record, so a single lookup settles it.
A search on the Nevada Business Entity Search returns the file date and entity number, which fix the anniversary month and, with it, the annual deadline. Our Nevada LLC search walkthrough explains how to read the result if the layout is unfamiliar.
Nevada Annual List and State Business License Fee: Why It Costs $350 in 2026
The standard 2026 cost for a Nevada LLC is $350, split across two separate filings.
| Filing component | 2026 fee |
|---|---|
| Annual List (NRS 86.263) | $150 |
| State Business License renewal (NRS 76.130) | $200 |
| Total annual cost | $350 |
The fee is flat for LLCs and doesn't scale with revenue or membership. Foreign LLCs pay the same $150 list fee under NRS 86.5461, plus the $200 renewal.
Worth flagging: formation itself costs more than the yearly renewal. A new Nevada LLC pays about $425 in state fees on day one, combining the $75 Articles of Organization, the $150 Initial List, and the $200 State Business License. Our Nevada LLC cost guide maps every line. Both the $150 list fee and the $200 renewal are unchanged for 2026, so the $350 figure is current.
How to File the Nevada Annual List Through SilverFlume
Most Nevada LLCs file the Annual List in well under ten minutes online. The state runs the process through one portal, SilverFlume, which pairs the list and the license renewal into a single checkout.
Before You Log In: What SilverFlume Asks For
Gathering a few items first keeps the filing from stalling. The portal asks for specific entity information before it lets a renewal proceed.
- The LLC's entity number or NV Business ID, both searchable on the public record.
- Current names, titles, and addresses for every manager or managing member.
- The name and title of the person authorized to sign.
- A credit or debit card for the $350 in combined state fees.
Filing Online via SilverFlume, Step by Step
The online flow is the route Nevada designed for routine renewals. Each step is short, and the portal holds progress as it goes.
- Log into SilverFlume, or create a free account if filing for the first time.
- Select the Annual or Amended List and State Business License renewal option.
- Locate the LLC by name, entity number, or NV Business ID.
- Review the listed managers or managing members, then edit, add, or remove entries so the record is current.
- Certify the list as an authorized signer; the declaration is made under penalty of perjury.
- Pay the $350 in combined state fees.
- Download the filed Annual List and confirmation for the LLC's records.
Online filings are typically processed fast, frequently the same day. That speed is a genuine advantage over paper. Owners curious about turnaround on other state filings can compare timelines in our Nevada LLC processing time guide.
Filing by Mail
Nevada also accepts the paper Annual or Amended List and State Business License Application by mail, which runs slower than the portal. The form goes to the Secretary of State in Carson City and takes several business days to process. Because a mailed filing must be in the state's hands by the deadline, sending it well ahead of the anniversary month is the safer call.
Here is the Nevada quirk almost no one mentions: you can file too early. Under NRS 86.263, an Annual List received more than 90 days before its due date is treated as an amended list for the prior year, not the current annual filing.

What You'll Need Before Filing the Annual List of Managers or Managing Members
The Annual List is a snapshot of who runs the LLC, and NRS 86.263 spells out exactly what that snapshot must contain. The form asks for current people, not historical ones, so any change since the last filing belongs here.
The statute requires the list to include:
- The name of the limited liability company and its file number, if known.
- The names and titles of all managers, or all managing members if the LLC has no manager.
- The residence or business address of each person listed.
- The signature of a manager, managing member, or other authorized person certifying the list is accurate.
The list also carries a declaration under penalty of perjury that the LLC has complied with the State Business License rules in NRS Chapter 76. Knowingly filing a false instrument is a category C felony under NRS 239.330, so the signer's certification isn't a formality.
This is where most LLC owners trip up on scope. Member and manager updates can be made directly on the Annual List, which helps when ownership has shifted. Registered agent changes can't: Nevada handles those through a separate Statement of Change of Registered Agent under NRS 77.340, filed through SilverFlume's Miscellaneous Filings section for a $60 fee. Owners weighing a switch can review options in our Nevada registered agent guide.
One last point. The Annual List records who manages the company, but it isn't where the LLC's internal rules live. Those belong in an operating agreement, and our Nevada operating agreement resource covers what to put in writing.
Late Penalties, Default, and Charter Revocation Under NRS 86.274
Missing the deadline triggers two penalties, because there are two filings. The late Annual List penalty is $75 under NRS 86.272, and the late State Business License renewal adds $100 under NRS 76.130. Together that's the $175 combined late penalty most owners actually face.
Penalties are only the first stage. The Secretary of State sends a default notice to the LLC's registered agent, and a missed filing pushes the company into default status. If the default continues, NRS 86.274 sets the revocation point: the charter is revoked on the first anniversary of the month following the month the filing was due.
Charter revocation is the serious consequence. A revoked Nevada LLC forfeits its right to transact business, loses good standing, and can't count on its name staying protected. Notice failures offer no shelter; not receiving the reminder doesn't excuse the penalty under Nevada law. The catch is that the clock runs whether or not the mail arrives.
How to Reinstate a Revoked Nevada LLC Under NRS 86.276
A revoked Nevada LLC can usually be brought back, but the bill grows fast. Reinstatement under NRS 86.276 costs a $300 fee plus every delinquent list, fee, and penalty owed since the lapse. The LLC must also file a current list and updated registered agent information before the Secretary of State will restore it. One hard limit applies: once a charter has stayed revoked for more than five consecutive years, reinstatement is no longer available.
Reinstatement is never just the $300. By the time a Nevada LLC is revoked, owners may be dealing with back-owed Annual Lists, stacked $75 and $100 penalties, and the reinstatement fee on top.
Nevada LLC Annual List and Renewal: Frequently Asked Questions
These answers cover what Nevada LLC owners ask most about the Annual List, the State Business License renewal, and missed deadlines. Each one reflects the 2026 rules.
Is the Nevada Annual List the same as an annual report?
In practice, yes. Nevada's official term is the Annual List of Managers or Managing Members, while “annual report” is the common search phrase used in most other states. The filing serves the same purpose: keeping the state's record of the LLC current.
Why does a Nevada LLC annual filing cost $350?
The $350 is two fees in one transaction. A $150 Annual List fee covers the list itself, and a $200 State Business License renewal covers the license every Nevada LLC must hold. Neither amount changed for 2026.
When is my Nevada LLC Annual List due?
It's due the last day of the LLC's anniversary month, every year. An LLC formed in September files by September 30 each year. The deadline follows the anniversary month, not the exact formation date.
What happens if I file my Nevada Annual List late?
A late list draws a $75 penalty, and a late State Business License renewal adds $100. Continued default leads to charter revocation under NRS 86.274, which strips the LLC's right to transact business.
Can I file the Nevada Annual List more than 90 days early?
It isn't advisable. Under NRS 86.263, a list received more than 90 days before the due date is treated as an amended list for the prior year. That can leave the current year's filing unsatisfied even though a list was submitted.
Does Nevada have a franchise tax for LLCs?
No. Nevada doesn't impose a franchise tax on LLCs. The recurring obligations are the Annual List and the State Business License renewal, not a tax tied to income or capital.
Can a revoked Nevada LLC be reinstated?
Usually yes, through NRS 86.276, by paying the $300 reinstatement fee plus all delinquent fees and penalties. The exception is firm: once a charter has been revoked for more than five consecutive years, that window closes and the business must be formed again as a new entity.
