Nevada to Increase Annual List and Business License Fees

Annual List, Business License Fees to Increase July 1, 2015

The Nevada Secretary of State recently issued an important notice regarding upcoming increases in certain business filing fees. The following increases will go into effect July 1, 2015:

• The fee to file an Annual or Initial List will increase by $25 for all entity types.
• The annual State Business License fee for corporations formed pursuant to Chapters 78, 78A, 78B and 80 will increase from $200 to $500. There is no change to the Business License fee for other entity types.

Any Annual or Initial List or State Business License fee due by August 31, 2015 that is received prior to July 1, 2015 will be assessed the pre-July fees.

For Annual or Initial Lists or State Business License applications, reinstatements and revivals received after July 1, 2015, Nevada will calculate amounts due based on the new fees, even if for prior years.
