Re:

Nuveen Multistate Trust III (the “Registrant”)

(File Nos. 333-16611 and 811-07943)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of the Registrant, in accordance with the provisions of Rule 497(j) of Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), this letter serves to certify that the most recent amendment to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (the “Registration Statement”) of the Registrant and certain of its series, namely Nuveen Georgia Municipal Bond Fund, Nuveen Louisiana Municipal Bond Fund and Nuveen North Carolina Municipal Bond Fund, does not differ from that which would have been filed pursuant to Rule 497(c) of the Securities Act. Post-Effective Amendment No. 50, which was the most recent amendment to the Registration Statement, was filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2026.

Please contact the undersigned at (202) 261-3464 if you have any questions regarding this certification.

Sincerely,

/s/ Adam T. Teufel
