Nevada LLC Act: Full Reference

Q: Where is the Nevada LLC Act codified?

NRS Chapter 86 (§ 86.011 through § 86.590). § 86.161 governs Articles of Organization; § 86.501 governs charging-order exclusivity; § 86.371 governs the liability shield.

Q: Does Nevada protect single-member LLCs from charging-order conversion?

Yes. NRS § 86.501 explicitly makes the charging order the exclusive remedy for both single-member and multi-member LLCs. This puts Nevada alongside Wyoming and Delaware in the top tier for single-member asset protection.

Q: What does it cost to maintain a Nevada LLC each year?

$350/year: $150 Annual List + $200 State Business License renewal. Plus registered agent (Anonymousllc.co bundles year 1; $100/year thereafter). Total maintenance is the highest of the four anonymous-LLC states.

Q: Can Nevada LLC members be truly anonymous?

Partially. Articles of Organization do not require members. However, the Annual List requires managers or managing members. With careful nominee/manager-managed structure, public-record anonymity is achievable, but it requires more effort than Wyoming.

Q: Why do people choose Nevada over Wyoming?

Three reasons: asset-protection reputation, strong liability shield case law, no information-sharing agreement with the IRS. Trade-offs: highest annual cost ($350 vs Wyoming $60) and somewhat more complex anonymity.

Nevada LLC Act: structure and scope

The Nevada LLC Act is codified at NRS Chapter 86 (§ 86.011 through § 86.590). Nevada is known for strong asset protection and a corporate-veil statute that is unusually difficult to pierce, partly via NRS § 78.747 (corporations) and the parallel LLC standards built into Chapter 86.

§ 86.161 — Articles of Organization

Nevada LLC formation requires Articles of Organization filed with the Nevada Secretary of State (SilverFlume). Required content: LLC name, registered agent, dissolution date (if any), management structure. Filing fee $75 + Initial List $150 + State Business License $200 = $425 total at formation.

§ 86.501 — Charging-order exclusivity

Nevada's charging order is the EXCLUSIVE remedy of a member's creditor — including for single-member LLCs. NRS § 86.501 explicitly extends exclusivity to single-member LLCs, putting Nevada in the same tier as Wyoming and Delaware for single-member asset protection.

Anonymity in Nevada

Nevada allows anonymity through a manager-managed structure where a nominee or trustee acts as the listed manager. Members are not required on the Articles. Nevada's Initial List (filed at formation) and Annual List do require managers OR managing members — careful structuring is needed to maintain anonymity.

§ 86.263 — Annual List

Nevada LLCs file an Annual List each year ($150) plus renew the State Business License ($200). Total annual maintenance is $350 — the highest among the four anonymous-LLC states. This is the trade-off for Nevada's asset-protection reputation.

§ 86.371 — Member/manager liability shield

Nevada provides one of the strongest statutory liability shields. § 86.371 codifies that members and managers are not personally liable for the LLC's debts. Nevada courts have repeatedly upheld this except in cases of clear fraud or commingling.
