Dissolving a company in Nevada
The state-level facts for closing an LLC or corporation in Nevada: the dissolution filing, its fee, whether tax clearance comes first, and the tax obligations that keep accruing until the filing is accepted. Every fact links to the official government source it was read from.
Nevada LLC
- Dissolution filing
- Certificate of Dissolution/Cancellation – Limited-Liability Company — filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division. (official source)
- Filing fee
- $100 (official source)
- Tax clearance before filing
- Not required before the dissolution filing. (official source)
- Annual list and state business license fees
- Annual list and state business license obligations end at dissolution; an entity with a revoked charter may dissolve by paying only the dissolution filing fee if it shows no business was transacted during the delinquent period (Affidavit of Non-Operation). (official source)
- Final state return
- Nevada levies no state income tax on LLCs; a Commerce Tax account (gross-revenue tax on Nevada revenue over $4,000,000/fiscal year) is closed via My Nevada Tax or the Close Account Form. (official source)
Worth knowing
- One combined Secretary of State form covers domestic dissolution and foreign cancellation for LLCs; check the box for the correct NRS filing type.
- An optional effective date/time may be set but no later than 90 days after filing the articles of dissolution.
- The Department of Taxation's Close Account Form does not close the Modified Business Tax account; that requires closing the UI account with the Employment Security Division first.

Closing a company is more than the state filing — payroll accounts, sales-tax permits, franchise-tax finals, federal returns, and creditor notices all have their own order and deadlines. A Winddown runbook sequences all of it for your specific company, with drafted consents and creditor notices included.
