Forms for Fictitious Business Name Statements, Statements of Abandonment of Use of Fictitious Business Name, and Statements of Withdrawal from Partnership Operating Under Fictitious Business Name are available at the Nevada County Recorder's Office and local Chambers of Commerce. These are multipart NCR-type forms, and are not available for download from our Website.
Instructions on completing the forms are printed on the reverse side of every form. The fee for filing each form is $24. Each additional partner or owner name costs $2, and each additional Fictitious Business Name at the same location costs $5.
Please review carefully the information on your form. It is the sole responsibility of the filer to assure the accuracy of the information. After you have paid the fees and the Fictitious Business Name Statement has been filed in the Nevada County Recorder's Office, you will receive three certified copies: one for your files, one to submit to a general circulation newspaper for publication (if necessary), and one to submit to your bank or other financial institution (if necessary). You will receive two certified copies of a Statement of Abandonment of Use of Fictitious Business Name or Statement of Withdrawal from Partnership Operating Under Fictitious Business Name: one for your files, and one to submit to a general circulation newspaper for publication.
