Nevada LLC cost in 2026: state fees vs. formation services
Forming an LLC in Nevada costs $425 in state fees: $75 for the Articles of Organization, $150 for the Initial List and $200 for the State Business License. After that, every Nevada LLC pays $350 a year ($150 Annual List + $200 State Business License), due by the last day of its anniversary month.
Over 10 years that's $3,925 in state fees alone, ranked 45th (1 = cheapest) in our LLC Annual Fees 10-Year Cost Index. For due dates, late penalties and official sources, see the Nevada LLC annual report page.
What you'd pay: three ways to form a Nevada LLC
Every Nevada LLC needs a registered agent with a physical street address in Nevada. You can be your own agent if you have one. The table assumes you hire a registered agent, except in the do-it-yourself column. Prices checked October 21, 2026 on each provider's own pages; confirm at checkout.

| Do it yourself (you're your own agent) | Northwest Registered Agent | ZenBusiness Starter + registered agent | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Service fee | $0 | $39 | $0 |
| Registered agent, year 1 | $0 (you) | Included | $199 |
| Nevada state fees, year 1 | $425 | $425 | $425 |
| Year 1 total | $425 | $464 | $624 |
| Year 2: Annual List + business license | $350 | $350 | $350 |

What the table leaves out:
- Northwest annual report service: if you hire Northwest as your registered agent, you're automatically enrolled in its annual report service, $100 plus state fees, charged when it files. You can cancel it. The year-2 figures assume you file the report yourself.
- ZenBusiness Worry-Free Compliance: Starter includes it free for the first year, then it renews at $199 a year unless you cancel. The year-2 figures assume you don't keep it.
- Speed: ZenBusiness Starter takes about 7 to 10 business days; rush is $79 more. Pro ($199, renews at $199 a year) and Premium ($299, renews at $299 a year) include 1-day processing. Northwest advertises same-day processing.
- EIN: you can get one free directly from the IRS. ZenBusiness charges $99 for it unless you're on Pro or Premium.
The cheapest way
If you have a Nevada street address and don't mind it on the public record, filing yourself costs the state fees only: $425 to start, $350 a year. If you want a registered agent, Northwest's $39 includes the first year of agent service, which makes it the lower year-1 total of the two services here. ZenBusiness's $0 Starter ends up higher in Nevada once you add its $199 registered agent.
When is the Nevada Annual List due?
By the last day of your LLC's anniversary month, every year (NRS 86.263). Late, and Nevada charges a $75 late fee on the Annual List, plus a $100 penalty if the State Business License fee is paid late. Details and official sources: Nevada LLC annual list and business license.
