Confidence

What we're less sure about

Verified against the official state page

  • HIGHEST RECURRING COST IN THE DATASET: $350/year ($150 Annual List + $200 State Business Licence), both mandatory. Nevada's reputation as a cheap incorporation state does not survive contact with the fee schedule — worth its own content page.
  • $75 + $150 initial Annual List + $200 Business Licence = $425 first year.
  • nvsos.gov itself is behind Incapsula bot protection and blocked every fetch. Figures come from the official Nevada Revised Statutes on leg.state.nv.us, cross-checked against a verbatim statute mirror — both quote identical amounts, hence high confidence despite the SOS site being unreachable.
  • Late-penalty amounts and exact revocation timelines not confirmed.
