Dissolve an LLC in Nevada: the only state with a permanent grave.
The paperwork of ending a Nevada company is small: the articles of dissolution, $100, filed with the Secretary of State. Nevada’s abandonment ladder ends at PERMANENTLY REVOKED, the one status in America no filing can undo. The wind-down around the filing, the vote, the creditors, the final returns, is where endings succeed or fail, and it runs in order. Here is the whole sequence, with nothing left billing you afterward.
The certificate prepared and filed with the Secretary of State, with the wind-down sequenced so nothing keeps billing you afterward.
Four facts cover the whole system
The articles of dissolution, filed with the Secretary of State for $100. It ends the company’s existence on the record; the wind-down around it is what ends its obligations. We prepare and file it →
Nevada has the harshest walk-away ladder in the country: lapse the annual list and license and the company falls Default, then Revoked, and at the five-year mark PERMANENTLY REVOKED, the only permanent status in American entity law, no reinstatement, ever. The $100 voluntary dissolution is how Nevada companies leave with their history intact instead of entombed.
The members authorize dissolution the way the operating agreement says, creditors get settled, assets distribute, and the final returns go in, each marked final so the accounts actually close. Nevada adds no tax-clearance step for LLCs, but skipping the final returns leaves accounts generating questions for a company that no longer exists.
The state charges $100 for the articles of dissolution. When we handle it, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, one-time, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, with the wind-down checklist and the final-return guidance built into the filing.

Five steps, and nothing bills you after
Nevada’s exit runs in sequence: authorization, settlement, final returns, then the articles of dissolution for $100 with the Secretary of State. Done in order, nothing bills you afterward, and the record shows a company that ended on purpose.
Where you stand decides what you do next
Run the sequence, not just the filing: the wind-down checklist puts debts, taxes, and accounts in order, and we prepare and file the dissolution when the company is actually ready to end.
Then check the ladder: Default and Revoked are recoverable, expensively, but the five-year mark makes it permanent, the entity unrecoverable forever. Wherever yours sits, the wind-down duties never did themselves. If the company is done, the $100 dissolution beats every rung of the alternative.
The vote comes first and the operating agreement governs it: who can call the question, what majority carries, who signs. If nothing was ever written, the ending inherits the same defaults as everything else, settle the terms before the filing, not after.
We watched it fall for four years, and filed before the fifth
The Reno holding company drifted after the partnership split, Default, then Revoked, penalties stacking, while we argued about whose problem it was. Our attorney finally showed us the calendar: one more year and Nevada would make it permanent, unrecoverable, forever. The $100 dissolution filed within the month. Nevada gives abandoned companies five years to be claimed. Then it keeps them.
