Who Needs to File in Nevada?

How Much Does the 2026 UCR Cost in Nevada?
The federal UCR fee is standardized across the country based on the size of your fleet. The fee is not prorated. Unlike state-specific fuel taxes, your UCR obligation is determined by the total number of commercial vehicles you operate in interstate commerce, regardless of where they are physically registered.
