The short answer
In Nevada, forming an LLC is typically one combined filing with the Secretary of State: Articles of Organization ($75), an Initial List of managers or members ($150) and a State Business License ($200). The Secretary of State's current instructions list those fees, which add up to $425 as of October 2026. A federal EIN, Department of Taxation registration where it applies, and a city or county business license commonly follow.
This article is general information for founders, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Rules, fees, and filing requirements vary by state and change over time. Nothing here creates a professional relationship of any kind. Confirm anything that affects your business with your state's filing office and a qualified attorney or accountant before you act on it.
Nevada’s startup paperwork is split across agencies. The Secretary of State creates the company and issues the state business license. The IRS issues the federal tax ID. The Department of Taxation handles tax registration. A city or county licenses the place where business is actually done. Each agency’s own page lists the steps in a slightly different order, so this guide lays out a typical order, says where the sources differ, and links to the official page for every step.
It walks through the LLC route first, then covers what changes for a sole proprietor. Fees are the state’s published figures as of October 2026; the agencies change them from time to time, so the figures are worth confirming with the agency before anything is filed.

What it costs to start in Nevada
These are the state's own published fees as of October 2026. The bars add up the state fees for forming a business and keeping it in good standing. The table underneath lists every fee this guide checked, including the ones that are not in the totals, such as local fees.
Bar length is in proportion to dollars. City and county fees, a commercial registered agent and optional faster service are not included.

The Nevada LLC steps, one by one
Choose a name and check that it is available
The Secretary of State’s instructions say an LLC’s name has to be unique from the names already on file with the Secretary of State. It also has to include a designator: “Limited-Liability Company,” “Limited Liability Company,” “Limited Company,” “Limited,” “Ltd.,” “L.L.C.,” “L.C.,” “LLC” or “LC.”
Some words in a business name or purpose may need approval from a Nevada regulatory agency or proof of professional licensure, and the Secretary of State publishes a restricted-word list for that.
Being available on the state’s list is a different question from owning the name. The City of Las Vegas notes, for example, that a fictitious firm name filing does not guarantee that a name is unique or reserve exclusive rights to it.
Sources: SOS LLC formation packet · Las Vegas: apply
Line up a registered agent with a Nevada address
The registered agent is the person or business that receives official legal documents for the company. The Secretary of State’s instructions say the agent needs a physical address in Nevada and can be:
- an individual who is at least 18 years old;
- an office or other position within the business that is officially named to receive legal papers; or
- a commercial registered agent, which is a company authorized to do business in Nevada.
The agent has to be available during normal business hours to receive legal documents and government mail. A P.O. box can be used for mailing but does not replace the physical address. The agent signs a Certificate of Acceptance on the formation form, or a separate Registered Agent Acceptance form if they cannot sign the articles.
Sources: SOS LLC formation packet
File the Articles of Organization, Initial List and State Business License together
For a Nevada LLC, the Secretary of State’s current instructions describe one submission with three parts:
- Articles of Organization, the formation document ($75). It asks for the company name, the registered agent, whether the LLC is run by managers or by managing members, the names and addresses of the original managers or members, and the organizer’s name, address and signature.
- Initial List of Managers or Members ($150). Nevada law calls for the list when the articles are filed (NRS 86.263).
- State Business License ($200). For an entity that files a list, the license is obtained at the time of filing (NRS 76.100).
The instructions put the total at $425 as of October 2026: $75 for the articles plus $350 for the list and license. A Customer Order Instructions form goes with the filing, and checks are made out to “Nevada Secretary of State.”
How it is filed. The instructions say filing online may reduce processing time. The other routes are by mail or in person at the Carson City, downtown Las Vegas or South Las Vegas offices. Regular service carries no extra fee; faster service costs more (see the fee table).
A few details the forms spell out:
- The Initial List form asks optional questions about the business’s industry (NAICS) code and whether it identifies as minority-, woman-, veteran- or LGBTQ-owned. The form says this self-classification is part of the public record and is not an official certification.
- The instructions say the managers or members listed on the form are visible online. Extra names on attached pages become part of the official record but do not appear online.
- A real person in management, not a company, signs the list.
- The state business license is in addition to any license from the city or county where the business operates (NRS 76.100).

Get an EIN from the IRS
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is the federal tax ID the IRS issues to businesses. The IRS says it is free, that applying online takes minutes, and that the number is issued immediately online if the application is approved. For an LLC, the IRS says to form the entity with the state first, because the EIN application may be delayed otherwise, and the business name entered is the name on the formation documents.
The agencies describe the order a little differently. The Department of Taxation’s start page lists the EIN as its first step, ahead of the state business license. The IRS tells LLC and corporation filers to register with the state first. The City of Las Vegas lists the state license before the EIN. This guide follows the IRS’s instruction for LLCs, so the EIN comes after the filing above.
The IRS also warns about websites that charge for an EIN and says an EIN never costs a fee. Our EIN guide covers who needs one, what the application asks for, and the other ways to apply.
Sources: IRS: get an EIN · IRS: EIN overview · Taxation: start a business · Las Vegas: apply
Open a business bank account
Many founders open an account in the business’s name once the EIN is in hand. The IRS says an EIN can be used right away for most business needs, including opening a bank account and applying for business licenses. Requirements differ by bank, and many banks ask for the EIN confirmation and the formation documents.
Sources: IRS: EIN overview
Register with the Department of Taxation, where it applies
Which registrations apply depends on what the business does. The Department of Taxation’s start page says:
- Every retailer selling tangible personal property that will be stored, used or consumed in Nevada has to hold a Sales/Use Tax Permit, and non-retailers a Consumer Use Tax Permit (NRS 372.220).
- The sales tax permit fee is $15 per location as of October 2026.
- Registration is online through My Nevada Tax, or by mailing the Nevada Business Registration form. The Department says to allow several weeks for the permit number when using the mailed form.
- A business license comes first: the page says a business license is needed before registering for a tax permit.
- Businesses that sell alcohol or tobacco, charge admission to live entertainment, run exhibition facilities, sell tires, or rent vehicles for short periods are asked to call the Department at (866) 962-3707.
Two other state taxes reach some businesses and are covered under “Taxes and registrations” below: the Modified Business Tax, for employers, and the Commerce Tax, which applies only above $4,000,000 in Nevada gross revenue.
Sources: Taxation: start a business · Taxation: register FAQ · NRS 372
File a fictitious firm name if the business uses a different name
Nevada law (NRS 602.010) says a person doing business under an assumed or fictitious name that differs from the legal name of each owner files a certificate with the county clerk of each county where the business is conducted. This is commonly called a DBA, short for “doing business as.” It is a county filing, not a Secretary of State filing.
The Clark County Clerk’s page adds that:
- a fictitious firm name does not give exclusive rights to the name;
- the forms are filed on paper with an original signature, there is no online filing at this time, and the forms do not need to be notarized;
- the certificate may be required before a business license is issued, so the county and city are worth checking first; and
- Clark County code calls for renewal five years after filing.
The City of Reno’s licensing guide lists proof of a fictitious name filing among the items that accompany a city license application when the business uses a name other than the owner’s or the entity’s filed name.
Sources: NRS 602 · Clark County Clerk: DBA · Reno: new license
Apply for the city or county business license
The state business license is in addition to any license from the local government where the business operates (NRS 76.100). Which city or county issues it depends on where the business is located or does its work, and Southern Nevada alone has several licensing jurisdictions. The “City and county licenses” section below covers Las Vegas, Clark County and the Reno area.
Applications commonly ask for proof of the state business license and of Department of Taxation registration, and a physical location can bring zoning and building approvals too.
Sources: NRS 76 · Las Vegas: apply · Clark County: license guide · Reno: new license
Keep the state filings current each year
An LLC files an Annual List of Managers or Members and renews its state business license on a yearly cycle. As of October 2026 the fees are $150 for the list and $200 for the license, $350 in all (NRS 86.263 and 76.130).
- Due date. On or before the last day of the month in which the anniversary of the LLC’s organization falls (NRS 86.263).
- Filing window. A list received more than 90 days before it is due counts as an amended list for the previous year (NRS 86.263), and the Secretary of State’s instructions describe the annual list as the one filed within 90 days before the renewal date.
- Reminder. The Secretary of State sends a notice about 90 days before the deadline, but the statutes say not receiving a notice does not excuse a penalty (NRS 86.263 and 76.130).
- Penalties. A late list adds a $75 default penalty (NRS 86.272), and a late or missing state business license adds $100 (NRS 76.110 and 76.130). An entity in default is also subject to the statutes’ default and revocation provisions.
- Local licenses renew on their own schedules, set by each city or county.
Sources: SOS annual list packet · NRS 86 · NRS 76
If the business is a sole proprietorship instead of an LLC
A sole proprietor is one person running an unincorporated business. With no formation filing, the registered agent and Articles of Organization steps do not apply. What changes:
- State business license. Nevada law says a person who is not an entity required to file a list obtains the state business license before conducting business in the state (NRS 76.100). The fee is $200 as of October 2026, and the owner signs the application.
- Renewal. The renewal fee is $200, due on the last day of the month in which the anniversary of the license’s issue falls (NRS 76.130). A person who will stop doing business can send the Secretary of State a written statement at least 10 days before that date.
- Penalty. Conducting business without the license adds $100 for each year, on top of the license fee (NRS 76.110).
- EIN. The IRS lists having employees and owing certain excise taxes among the reasons an EIN is needed, and says a business that does not need one for federal tax purposes can still request one, for example for banking.
- Fictitious firm name. Needed when the business name differs from the owner’s legal name (NRS 602.010).
The tax registration, local license and bank account steps are the same as above. LLC vs. sole proprietorship compares the two structures; it describes them and does not recommend one.

City and county business licenses in Nevada
Nevada's state business license is in addition to any license from the city or county where the business operates (NRS 76.100). Local rules, fees and forms differ by address, so this guide describes the jurisdictions it checked and links to each one's own page.
Sources: NRS 76
City of Las Vegas
- The city’s guide starts with working out the jurisdiction, then zoning and code compliance, then the state business license and Department of Taxation registration, then a fictitious firm name and EIN, and last the city application.
- General business licenses can be applied for online. For privilege licenses, the city asks applicants to contact it to schedule an appointment at (702) 229-1840.
- After an online submission, the city says to allow up to 5 business days for a license technician to make contact, and to expect a license within 30 days of applying, though it says licenses are typically issued sooner.
- The city says that doing business in several surrounding jurisdictions may call for a license from each, starting with the primary one.

Clark County, unincorporated areas
- License fees depend on the services and activities, and the county says multiple licenses may be needed if more than one service is provided.
- The county says license fees are accompanied by a one-time $45 application fee in addition to each license fee.
- The county’s jurisdiction lookup shows which local government covers a given address.

Reno, Sparks and Washoe County
- The City of Reno says a city license is required if the business’s physical address is inside city limits, or if any business activity is physically conducted inside the city.
- Reno, Sparks and Washoe County licensing runs through one regional online portal, ONE Nevada (onenv.us). The city says applications are made online or in person, and are not accepted by email.
- The city’s checklist of items that accompany an application includes proof of the state business license, proof of Department of Taxation registration, proof of workers’ compensation compliance if the business has employees, and proof of a fictitious name filing when one applies.
- For commercial locations the city may also complete building, zoning and fire reviews before a license is issued.

Henderson, North Las Vegas and everywhere else
- The City of Las Vegas names Clark County, North Las Vegas and Henderson as separate local licensing jurisdictions in Southern Nevada. Each runs its own process, so this guide points to them rather than describing them.
- Other Nevada cities and counties issue their own licenses too. The city or county clerk’s or business license office for the address is the source for what applies there.

Taxes and registrations beyond formation
Starting a business can also bring state tax registrations. Which ones apply depends on what the business sells and whether it has employees. This guide describes the registrations the Department of Taxation names and does not cover rates or how returns are filed.
Sales and use tax permit
The Department of Taxation says every retailer selling tangible personal property for storage, use or consumption in Nevada has to hold a Sales/Use Tax Permit, and that registration costs $15 per location. Registration is online through My Nevada Tax or on a mailed form.
Sources: Taxation: start a business · NRS 372
Commerce Tax
Nevada's Commerce Tax applies to a business entity whose Nevada gross revenue in a taxable year is above $4,000,000 (NRS 363C.200). The statute says the Department of Taxation does not require a return from an entity at or below that amount.
Sources: NRS 363C
Modified Business Tax and unemployment insurance
The Modified Business Tax is a payroll-based tax for employers. The Department of Taxation's FAQ says general businesses whose employee wages exceed $50,000 in a calendar quarter register for and pay it, and that businesses with Nevada employees paid wages subject to unemployment insurance are typically required to register. The FAQ says registration runs through the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR), which shares the details with the Department of Taxation.
Sources: Taxation: register FAQ · NRS 363B · Taxation: start a business
Alcohol, tobacco, live entertainment and similar
The Department of Taxation asks businesses that buy or sell alcohol or tobacco, host or charge admission to live entertainment, operate an exhibition facility, sell tires at retail, or rent vehicles for under 30 days to call (866) 962-3707 about registration.

What this guide leaves out
- Licensed trades and professions. Some businesses need a separate license or approval from a state board or agency, and the Secretary of State’s instructions say certain words in a name can require approval or proof of licensure. Professional LLCs also need a certificate from the profession’s licensing board. This guide does not list those requirements.
- Taxes beyond registration. Rates, filing schedules and how income is reported are outside the guide, as are insurance, employment law and zoning for a specific address.
- Living outside Nevada. Forming in Nevada while operating elsewhere can bring registration duties in the home state. See forming an LLC out of state.
- Age. The guide is written for adults. Nevada’s age of majority is 18 (NRS 129.010), and the Secretary of State’s instructions require an individual registered agent to be at least 18. How the rules apply to someone younger is a legal question this guide does not answer.
- Other entity types. Corporations, series LLCs, nonprofits and partnerships have different filings and fees. The state business license, for instance, is $500 rather than $200 for corporations (NRS 76.100).

Frequently asked questions
How do I start an LLC in Nevada?
Starting an LLC in Nevada typically means choosing a name that is available with the Secretary of State, naming a registered agent with a Nevada address, and filing Articles of Organization, an Initial List and a State Business License application together. An EIN from the IRS, Department of Taxation registration where it applies, and a city or county license commonly follow. The Secretary of State's instructions and fees change, so the current forms are the reference.
How much does it cost to start an LLC in Nevada?
As of October 2026, the Secretary of State's instructions list $425 in state filing fees for a new Nevada LLC: $75 for the Articles of Organization, $150 for the Initial List and $200 for the State Business License. Yearly renewal is $350 ($150 list plus $200 license). Registered agent, city or county licenses, sales tax permits and optional expedited service are separate, so the total varies by business.
How much is a Nevada state business license?
As of October 2026, Nevada law sets the state business license fee at $200 for most entities, including LLCs and sole proprietors, and $500 for corporations (NRS 76.100). The license renews every year at the same fee. A late renewal or a missing license adds a $100 penalty. The license is in addition to any city or county license, which has its own fees.
Do I need a business license in Nevada?
Nevada law says a person generally cannot conduct a business in the state without a state business license issued by the Secretary of State (NRS 76.100). The same statute says the state license is in addition to any license required by the city or county where the business operates. Exemptions exist for certain entities, such as governmental entities and some tax-exempt organizations, so the Secretary of State is the reference for a specific case.
Do I need a registered agent for an LLC in Nevada?
The Secretary of State's formation instructions call for a registered agent with a physical address in Nevada. The instructions say the agent can be an individual who is at least 18, an office or position within the business, or a commercial registered agent, and that the agent must be available during normal business hours. A P.O. box can be a mailing address but does not replace the physical address.
Is a Nevada LLC anonymous?
Not entirely. Nevada law has an LLC file a list with the Secretary of State at formation and every year after, naming its managers, or its managing members if it has no manager, with a residence or business address for each (NRS 86.263). The Secretary of State's instructions say the people listed on the form are visible online. The same statute sets a penalty for listing someone with fraudulent intent to conceal who holds a manager's authority. An attorney can address a specific company.
What is the Nevada annual list?
The annual list, which some people call the annual report, is a yearly filing that names an LLC's managers or managing members. As of October 2026 the fee is $150, paid together with the $200 state business license renewal. It is due by the last day of the month in which the LLC's organization anniversary falls. The Secretary of State adds a $75 penalty for a late list and $100 for a late license.
Do I need an EIN to start a business in Nevada?
The IRS says an EIN is needed to hire employees, to pay certain excise taxes, and to operate entities such as partnerships, corporations and LLCs. Its single-member LLC page says a disregarded LLC with no employees and no excise tax liability does not need one for federal purposes but can get one, for example for a bank account. The IRS issues EINs free and advises forming an LLC with the state first.
How old do you have to be to start an LLC in Nevada?
Nevada sets the age of majority at 18 (NRS 129.010), and the Secretary of State's LLC instructions require an individual registered agent to be at least 18. Whether someone under 18 can form or run an LLC on their own is a legal question that this guide does not answer. The Nevada SBDC offers free, confidential advising for people starting businesses, and an attorney can address the specifics.
This article is general information for founders, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Rules, fees, and filing requirements vary by state and change over time. Nothing here creates a professional relationship of any kind. Confirm anything that affects your business with your state's filing office and a qualified attorney or accountant before you act on it.
