Is a registered agent a legal requirement?
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
A commercial registered agent, a noncommercial agent (an individual or entity with a physical Nevada address), or the title of an office in the company itself. Anyone acting as agent for 10 or more companies has to register as a commercial agent.

Keep the Annual List of Managers or Managing Members and State Business License Application/Renewal current. You file it every year for $350. The state lists the due date as last day of the LLC's anniversary month, so don't let it slide.
A late filing adds $175 to the bill.
