US LLC Annual Fees and Deadlines by State

Every state charges an LLC something different to stay in good standing: a yearly or two-yearly report, sometimes a franchise or minimum tax, and penalties if either is late. Below is what each state asks of an LLC formed there, taken from the state's own website, with a link to the source.

Quick answer

How much does an LLC cost to keep each year?

It depends on the state. Some states ask for no annual report at all (Arizona, Missouri, Ohio and South Carolina, for example). Many charge a modest report fee, such as US$50 in North Dakota or US$70 in Washington. A few add a tax that is due even when the LLC earns nothing: California's US$800 annual LLC tax, Tennessee's US$300 minimum report fee plus a US$100 minimum franchise tax, Delaware's annual LLC tax and Massachusetts' US$500 annual report. On top of the state, a foreign-owned single-member LLC usually has federal filings such as Form 5472. The table and the state-by-state answers below give each state's figures, taken from official state sites on October 28, 2026.

What foreign owners usually miss

Registered agent renewal

Every state requires an LLC to keep a registered agent with an address in the state. If you use a commercial agent, its fee renews each year, and a lapsed agent can lead to the state dissolving the LLC.

Franchise and minimum taxes

Some states charge a tax separate from the annual report, due even with no income: California, Tennessee, Delaware and Texas (a no-tax-due report) are common examples. They are filed with the state tax agency, not the Secretary of State.

Beneficial ownership (BOI)

FinCEN now exempts companies formed in the US from BOI reporting (interim rule of March 2025, final rule effective August 14, 2026). Companies formed outside the US and registered to do business in a state were still required to report under the 2025 rule.

BE-13 in the first 45 days

A new US business with a foreign owner of 10% or more files the BE-13 Claim for Exemption with the Commerce Department within 45 days. See BE-13 for new foreign-owned companies.

Form 5472 every year with a transaction

A foreign-owned single-member LLC files a pro forma Form 1120 with Form 5472 for any year with a reportable transaction with its owner; the penalty is US$25,000. See Form 5472.

Look-alike notices

Private companies send official-looking letters offering to file reports for a high fee. File directly on the state's website from the links below.

What does an Alabama LLC pay each year?

Report: None required for LLCs. Since January 1, 2024 the Secretary of State accepts annual reports only from for-profit and professional corporations; annual reports from other entities are not accepted. State fee: No Secretary of State annual report fee for LLCs. The annual state obligation is the Alabama Business Privilege Tax filed with the Department of Revenue (see the tax line below). Due: No annual report. Business Privilege Tax return (Form PPT) is due on the same date as the corresponding federal income tax return; for a disregarded entity, no later than the date its owner must file its federal return. Tax is payable by the original due date; extensions do not extend payment.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: Alabama Business Privilege Tax, based on Alabama net worth (maximum US$15,000). For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2023, tax due of US$100 or less is fully exempt and no return (BPT-IN, PPT or CPT) is required. A disregarded single-member LLC files Form PPT; if its owner is not itself subject to the tax (non-resident individuals are listed as not subject), the LLC computes its own net worth and pays accordingly. The tax remains due every registered year until the LLC is formally dissolved or withdrawn with the Secretary of State, even if inactive.

If it is missed: Late filing penalty: 10% of the tax shown due or US$50, whichever is greater. Late payment penalty: 1% of the tax shown due per month, up to 25%. For dissolution rules, check with the state.

Often missed: The privilege tax stays due every year the LLC is registered, even if it does no business, until it is formally dissolved; owners also assume an annual report is still filed when it is not.

What does an Alaska LLC pay each year?

Report: Biennial Report. State fee: US$100 for a domestic LLC (US$200 for a foreign LLC), per 3 AAC 16.065(c). Online filing is offered by the Division of Corporations. Due: Due before January 2 of the filing year; LLCs formed in an even-numbered year file in even-numbered years, LLCs formed in an odd-numbered year file in odd-numbered years. Delinquent if not filed before February 1 (a USPS postmark on or before February 1 counts). On receipt of a form from the department, a new LLC must file a biennial report within six months after organization (AS 10.50.760(d)).

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: None identified on the official sources reviewed (no state LLC franchise or minimum tax found).

If it is missed: Late charge of US$25 for each year or part of a year of delinquency plus an additional 10% of the filing fee (3 AAC 16.065(c)-(d)). The commissioner may involuntarily dissolve an LLC that is delinquent six months in filing its biennial report or paying a fee or penalty, after written notice and a 60-day period to contest (AS 10.50.408).

Often missed: The report year depends on whether the LLC was formed in an odd or even year, and an LLC delinquent six months can be involuntarily dissolved.

What does an Arkansas LLC pay each year?

Report: Annual LLC Franchise Tax Report (filed with the Secretary of State together with the franchise tax). State fee: Flat US$150 franchise tax paid with the report; there is no separate report fee. All LLCs pay US$150 if the report is timely filed. File online at sos.arkansas.gov or by mail. Due: On or before May 1 each year (first due May 1 of the year following formation). No extensions are available.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: Annual LLC franchise tax of US$150, due May 1, paid to the Secretary of State with the annual report. Applies to all LLCs (exemptions are only for federally tax-exempt nonprofits and partnerships formed under the uniform partnership acts), so a single-member disregarded LLC is still subject.

If it is missed: Late filing penalty of US$25 plus interest at 0.000274 per day on tax and penalty (per the Secretary of State's 2026 form, citing A.C.A. 26-54-107 and 114). The point at which the charter is revoked for non-payment is not stated on the form; check with the state.

Often missed: The US$150 is a franchise tax filed with the Secretary of State, not the revenue department, and it is due May 1 even if the LLC had no activity.

What does a California LLC pay each year?

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: US$800 annual LLC tax to the Franchise Tax Board for every LLC doing business in or organized in California, due the 15th day of the 4th month of the tax year (first year: 15th day of the 4th month after filing with the Secretary of State), even if the LLC does no business, until it is cancelled. An LLC fee of US$900 to US$11,790 applies when total California income is US$250,000 or more, and Form 568 is filed each year.

If it is missed: The Secretary of State imposes a US$250 penalty for not filing the Statement of Information (collected by the FTB). Unpaid taxes and missed filings can lead to suspension.

Often missed: The US$800 tax is due every year even with no income or activity, until the LLC is formally cancelled with both the Secretary of State and the FTB.

What does a Colorado LLC pay each year?

Report: Periodic Report. State fee: US$25, online only (no paper option). Fee took effect July 1, 2024.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: None identified on the official sources reviewed.

If it is missed: Periodic Report late filing penalty US$50. If not filed within the penalty-free window the status becomes Noncompliant; if still not filed two months later it becomes Delinquent (e.g. January report month: Noncompliant after March 31, Delinquent after May 31). A Delinquent LLC must file a Statement Curing Delinquency (US$100) to return to Good Standing.

Often missed: The due month is set by the state and shown on the entity's Summary page, and missing the window moves the LLC to Noncompliant and then Delinquent status.

If it is missed: The Secretary of the State's annual report FAQ says there is no additional late fee, but no Certificate of Legal Existence (good standing) is issued while reports are missing, and the Secretary may administratively dissolve an entity more than one year in default of its annual report obligation.

Often missed: An LLC stays active and keeps owing annual reports until a dissolution is filed; not filing does not close it.

What does a Delaware LLC pay each year?

Report: None required (no annual report for LLCs; only the annual LLC tax is paid). State fee: No report fee. The annual obligation is the LLC tax (see the tax line below). Due: No report. Annual LLC tax due on or before June 1 each year (for the prior calendar year).

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: Annual LLC tax of US$400 (raised from US$300 by HB 400, 85 Del. Laws ch. 273, approved May 21, 2026; the LLC tax change took effect January 1, 2026). Due June 1. Applies to every domestic LLC, including a single-member disregarded LLC, with no proration: it is assessed if the LLC is active at any time in the year.

What does a District of Columbia LLC pay each year?

Report: Biennial Report. State fee: US$300 for a for-profit LLC on the current DLCP fee schedule. An April 2026 budget proposal would lower the fee; check the current amount with DLCP when you file. Due: First report by April 1 of the year after the calendar year in which the LLC was formed, then by April 1 of every second year.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: No flat annual LLC tax. DC's unincorporated business franchise tax (8.25%; minimum US$250, or US$1,000 if DC gross receipts exceed US$1 million) applies to unincorporated businesses with DC gross income over US$12,000, even with no net income; at US$12,000 or less a D-30N affidavit may be filed instead. Whether it applies to a non-US-owned single-member LLC depends on the facts; check with the Office of Tax and Revenue.

If it is missed: US$100 late fee for a for-profit LLC filing after April 1 of the year due. A report missing required ownership information leads to administrative dissolution (D.C. Code 29-102.11(a)(8)). For dissolution for not filing at all, check with the state.

Often missed: The report is only every two years, so the April 1 deadline is easy to forget, and the late fee applies the day after.

If it is missed: $50 late penalty in addition to the $85 fee (31 M.R.S. 1680(10)); the SOS says it may not be waived for reports received after June 1. Failure to file and pay leads to administrative dissolution after notice and a 60-day cure period (31 M.R.S. 1667, 1592).

Often missed: The $50 late penalty applies to any report received after June 1 and the SOS states it cannot be waived.

What does a Maryland LLC pay each year?

Report: Annual Report (filed with SDAT together with the Business Personal Property Return, Form 1). State fee: $300 for a Maryland LLC under Md. Code, Corps. & Ass'ns 1-203(b)(3). The fee applies whether or not the LLC owns property or does business in Maryland. A paper extension request carries a $20 fee; online extension requests have no statutory fee listed. Due: April 15 each year (Tax-Property 11-101). An extension to June 15 is available if requested online by April 15 (or on paper by March 15).

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: No separate franchise or minimum tax on LLCs. The same annual filing doubles as the business personal property return; personal property tax is assessed only on business personal property the LLC owns in Maryland. A disregarded single-member LLC must still file the annual report and pay the $300 fee.

If it is missed: Late annual report: initial penalty up to 1/10 of 1% of the county assessment, with a minimum of $30 (1 to 15 days late), $40 (16 to 30 days) or $50 (over 30 days) and a cap of $500, plus 2% of the initial penalty for each further 30 days (Tax-Property 14-704). After September 30 each year SDAT certifies LLCs that have not filed the prior year's report, and the right to do business is forfeited by proclamation (Corps. & Ass'ns 4A-911).

Often missed: The $300 fee is owed even by an LLC with no Maryland property, income or activity, and a missed report leads to forfeiture of the LLC's right to do business.

What does a Massachusetts LLC pay each year?

Report: Annual Report (Corporations Division, Secretary of the Commonwealth). State fee: US$500 per annual report (950 CMR 112 fee schedule). Due: On or before the anniversary date of the filing of the original certificate of organization, every year.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: None for a disregarded LLC. Massachusetts follows federal classification; DOR Letter Ruling 00-8 and Directive 00-4 state that a disregarded single-member LLC is not a corporation for corporate excise purposes, so the $456 minimum corporate excise does not apply (exception: disregarded LLCs owned by an S corporation, per TIR 04-4).

If it is missed: No late fee is listed. If annual reports are not filed for two years, the Secretary may begin administrative dissolution under M.G.L. c.156C s.70; the LLC has 90 days after notice to cure. Reinstatement requires filing all overdue annual reports plus a $100 reinstatement fee.

Often missed: The report is due on the formation anniversary, not a fixed calendar date, and costs $500 every year regardless of income.

What does a Michigan LLC pay each year?

Report: Annual Statement (LARA Corporations Division). State fee: $25 for an LLC ($75 for a professional LLC). Due: February 15 each year. An LLC formed after September 30 does not file on the February 15 immediately following formation.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: None. Michigan has no LLC franchise tax; a federally disregarded single-member LLC is also disregarded for Michigan corporate income tax (Michigan follows federal classification).

If it is missed: $50 late penalty if the statement is not filed or the fee is not paid by February 15. If not filed within two years of the due date, the LLC is no longer in good standing by operation of law. Restoring good standing costs $50 plus $25 for each missing statement.

Often missed: A small $25 filing is easy to forget, and missing it for two years drops the LLC out of good standing automatically.

What does a Minnesota LLC pay each year?

Report: Annual Renewal (Secretary of State). State fee: No fee to file the annual renewal (Minn. Stat. 322C.0208) while the LLC is active and in good standing. Due: By December 31 of each calendar year, starting the year after the articles of organization are filed. It may be filed any time during the year.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: None for a disregarded single-member LLC. Minnesota's minimum fee applies to partnerships, S corporations and C corporations above a property, payroll and sales threshold ($1,250,000 for 2025); a disregarded LLC follows its federal classification and does not file Form M3.

If it is missed: Failure to file results in administrative termination of the LLC (Minn. Stat. 322C.0208). The LLC can retroactively reinstate by filing a renewal and paying a $25 fee (Minn. Stat. 322C.0706).

Often missed: Because the renewal is free, owners often skip it, and the LLC is then administratively terminated.

What does a Mississippi LLC pay each year?

Report: Annual Report (Secretary of State). State fee: No fee for a domestic (Mississippi) LLC annual report filed online, per the Secretary of State's October 2024 fee schedule. (Foreign LLCs pay $250.) Due: April 15 each year; filing opens January 1.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: None for a disregarded single-member LLC. Mississippi follows federal classification; a disregarded SMLLC is disregarded for state purposes and its activity is reported by its owner. Franchise tax applies to corporations and to LLCs that elect corporate treatment.

If it is missed: No late fee found. Failure to file may result in administrative dissolution; the LLC Act allows the Secretary of State to begin dissolution if the report is not delivered within 60 days after it is due.

Often missed: The report is free but still mandatory, and paid third-party mailers that look official are not from the state.

What does a Missouri LLC pay each year?

Report: None required. State fee: Missouri LLCs do not file an annual report with the Secretary of State, so there is no annual state filing fee. Due: No annual report due.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: None. Missouri's corporation franchise tax does not apply for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2016 (RSMo 147.010), and it never applied to LLCs taxed as disregarded entities.

If it is missed: No annual report, so no late fee. The LLC must still keep a registered agent and registered office on file with the Secretary of State.

Often missed: With no annual report, owners can forget to update the registered agent, which is still required.

What does a Montana LLC pay each year?

Report: Annual Report (Secretary of State). State fee: US$0 for 2027 if filed 1 January to 15 April 2027. Montana has waived its annual report fee each year since 2024 and has already announced the waiver for reports filed 1 January to 15 April 2027. It is a yearly decision, not a permanent change, so check before each 15 April deadline. After 15 April the report costs US$35. Due: April 15 each year to file without a fee. The Secretary's help center states the final deadline for domestic entities is December 1 (filings close 5 p.m. November 28).

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: None. A disregarded single-member LLC is not subject to Montana corporation license tax (MCA 15-30-3302); its owner is taxed instead, and information returns may still be required if it has Montana-source income.

If it is missed: $35 fee if filed after April 15. Domestic LLCs that have not filed are involuntarily dissolved on December 1. Reinstatement within 5 years requires a reinstatement application ($35), all missed annual reports and late fees (MCA 35-8-912).

Often missed: Official filing is free at biz.sosmt.gov; in September 2026 the state warned about a private mailing asking US$150 for the 2027 report.

What does a Nebraska LLC pay each year?

Report: Biennial Report (Secretary of State). State fee: US$28 online, per the Secretary of State. For the paper fee, check with the state. Due: Odd-numbered years, January 1 to April 1 (next due April 1, 2027). Delinquency date is June 16.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: None found for LLCs. A disregarded single-member LLC is disregarded for Nebraska income tax and its income is reported on its owner's return (Revenue Ruling 25-21-01).

If it is missed: If not filed by the delinquency date, the LLC is administratively dissolved. Reinstatement is $30 (or $500 for late reinstatement), per the Secretary of State fee page.

Often missed: The report is only due every other year (odd years), so it is easy to forget, and paid third-party mailers asking for $125 are not from the state.

What does a Nevada LLC pay each year?

Report: Annual List of Managers or Managing Members, plus State Business License renewal. State fee: Annual list fee US$150 (NRS 86.263) plus the US$200 State Business License fee, paid together: US$350 a year. Due: Last day of the month in which the LLC was formed (anniversary month), each year, unless an alternative due date was chosen.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: No franchise or income tax. Nevada Commerce Tax applies only if Nevada gross revenue exceeds $4,000,000 for the July 1 to June 30 year (return due August 14). A single-member LLC must still file the annual list and keep a State Business License.

If it is missed: $75 penalty on the late annual list (NRS 86.272) plus $100 penalty on the late business license. The charter is revoked on the first day of the first anniversary of the month following the due month; reinstatement requires all back fees and penalties plus $300, and is not allowed after 5 consecutive years revoked.

Often missed: The $200 State Business License renewal is owed on top of the $150 annual list fee, and late filings add $175 in penalties.

What does a New Hampshire LLC pay each year?

Report: Annual Report (Secretary of State). State fee: $100 (RSA 304-C:191). Due: April 1 each year (mailed reports must be postmarked by April 1).

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: No franchise tax, but New Hampshire does not disregard LLCs: a single-member LLC owned by an individual files its own Business Profits Tax return (Form NH-1040) if gross business income exceeds $109,000 (2025 threshold), and Business Enterprise Tax applies if gross receipts or the enterprise value tax base exceed $298,000. Returns are due the 15th day of the fourth month after year end (April 15 for calendar year).

If it is missed: $50 late fee for reports or fees received after April 1. The LLC becomes Not in Good Standing, and after two consecutive years of not filing it is administratively dissolved.

Often missed: Even a disregarded single-member LLC is treated as a separate business taxpayer in New Hampshire and may owe its own BPT and BET returns once revenue passes the thresholds.

What does a New Jersey LLC pay each year?

Report: Annual Report (Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services). State fee: $75 filing fee per the Division of Revenue fee schedule. Filed online through the state portal; expedited service is not offered for the annual report. Due: Every year by the last day of the month in which the LLC was formed (anniversary month).

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: None for a single-member LLC disregarded for federal tax. New Jersey's partnership filing fee ($150 per owner, capped at $250,000) applies only to entities classified as partnerships for federal purposes that have more than two owners and New Jersey source income or loss, so a disregarded single-member LLC is not subject.

If it is missed: No dollar late fee is stated on the official pages. If annual reports are not filed for two consecutive years, the charter may be revoked (domestic LLC placed on the inactive list). Reinstatement starts with filing the overdue reports; the reinstatement fee is $75 plus report fees, and a tax clearance certificate may be required.

Often missed: The report is due by the end of the formation month whether or not the state's reminder arrives, and two missed years can lead to revocation.

What does a New York LLC pay each year?

Report: Biennial Statement (Department of State). Separately, a one-time publication requirement applies after formation: within 120 days after the articles of organization take effect, the LLC must publish a notice in two newspapers designated by the county clerk and file a Certificate of Publication ($50 fee) with the Department of State. State fee: $9 biennial statement fee. Certificate of Publication (one time, after formation) is $50, plus the newspapers' publication charges. Due: Every two years, during the calendar month in which the articles of organization were originally filed. It should not be filed before that month.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: Annual LLC filing fee (Form IT-204-LL, Department of Taxation and Finance): a disregarded single-member LLC with any New York source income, gain, loss or deduction pays a flat $25. Due by the 15th day of the third month after the tax year ends (March 15 for calendar-year filers); no extension is allowed. An LLC with no New York source items does not file IT-204-LL.

If it is missed: No late fee is stated for the biennial statement; the LLC shows as past due on Department of State records and on any Certificate of Status, which may block some transactions. Failure to complete publication and file the Certificate of Publication within 120 days suspends the LLC's authority to carry on business until it is filed.

Often missed: Owners often skip the 120-day newspaper publication, which suspends the LLC's authority to do business, and forget the $25 IT-204-LL fee when the LLC has New York source income.

What does a North Carolina LLC pay each year?

Report: Annual Report (Secretary of State). State fee: $200 paper. Online by credit card is $203 (includes a $3 electronic fee); ACH adds a $2 fee. Due: April 15 each year, starting in the year after the LLC is formed.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: None for an LLC that has not elected corporate tax treatment. NCDOR states that by default an LLC is not subject to the North Carolina franchise tax unless it elects to be taxed as a corporation; this covers a disregarded single-member LLC.

If it is missed: No separate late fee is listed. Failure to file or pay fees can lead to administrative dissolution; reinstatement costs US$100 plus past-due reports.

Often missed: The $200 report is owed every April 15 even with no activity, and the Secretary of State warns about third-party mailers charging far more than the state fee.

If it is missed: $50 late fee after the deadline. An LLC that does not file within six months after the deadline is involuntarily terminated by operation of law. Reinstatement within one year requires the past-due report, filing and penalty fees, and a $135 reinstatement fee.

What does an Oregon LLC pay each year?

Report: Annual Report / Renewal (Secretary of State, Corporation Division). State fee: $100 state fee; filing online at sos.oregon.gov/renew carries no extra fee. Due: Each year on the anniversary date of the original filing. The state mails a notice about 45 to 50 days before.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: No minimum tax on a disregarded LLC was found. Oregon Corporate Activity Tax applies only if Oregon commercial activity exceeds $750,000 (registration within 30 days) and a return is required at $1 million or more; tax is $250 plus 0.57% of taxable commercial activity above $1 million, so a low-revenue LLC owes nothing.

If it is missed: Not filing when due is a ground for administrative dissolution. Reinstatement within 5 years can be done online by paying a reinstatement fee plus the missed annual fees.

Often missed: The state fee is only $100; third-party mailers charge more, and the due date is the anniversary date.

What does a South Carolina LLC pay each year?

Report: None required for an LLC not taxed as a corporation. State fee: SCDOR lists an LLC not taxed as a corporation among entities not subject to the annual report or the license fee. An LLC that elects to be taxed as a corporation must file the CL-1 Initial Annual Report with SCDOR within 60 days of commencing business and then follows the corporate annual report and license fee rules. Due: No annual report due for an LLC not taxed as a corporation.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: None for an LLC not taxed as a corporation. SCDOR states a single member LLC not taxed as a corporation is not regarded as an entity separate from its owner, so a disregarded single-member LLC is not subject to the annual report or license fee. A corporate tax election brings in the CL-1, the SC1120 or SC1120S return and the license fee.

If it is missed: No report penalty applies. The Secretary of State may begin administrative dissolution if the LLC does not pay a fee, tax or penalty within sixty days after it is due (S.C. Code 33-44-809).

Often missed: Electing corporate tax treatment for the LLC triggers SCDOR's CL-1 and annual corporate report and license fee, which a disregarded LLC never files.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: None. The SD Department of Revenue states South Dakota does not impose a corporate income tax; no franchise or minimum tax applies to an LLC.

If it is missed: Status becomes delinquent and a $55 late fee applies if the report is not filed within 2 months after the due date. Continued delinquency may lead to administrative dissolution; by statute the SOS may begin dissolution if the report is not delivered within sixty days after it is due (SDCL 47-34A-809). Reinstatement of a domestic entity is $150 plus delinquent reports and fees.

Often missed: The annual report form asks whether the LLC owns agricultural land and has foreign beneficial owners; if both answers are yes, the report must be filed online.

What does a Texas LLC pay each year?

Report: Public Information Report (Form 05-102), filed with the Comptroller as part of the annual franchise tax filing; no annual report is filed with the Secretary of State. State fee: No filing fee for the PIR. An LLC files the Public Information Report; the Ownership Information Report (05-167) is for other taxable entities. The PIR is due even when no franchise tax report is required. Due: May 15 each year (next business day if May 15 falls on a weekend or holiday).

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: Texas franchise tax applies to LLCs, including single-member LLCs. No tax is due if annualized total revenue is at or below the no tax due threshold: $2,650,000 for 2026 reports ($2,470,000 for 2024 and 2025 reports). From report year 2024, an entity at or below the threshold does not file a No Tax Due Report but must still file the PIR by May 15.

If it is missed: $50 penalty for each franchise tax report filed late (no $50 penalty for a late PIR or OIR by an entity at or below the threshold); 5% penalty if tax is paid 1 to 30 days late, 10% if more than 30 days late. Failure to file can forfeit the right to transact business (loss of the right to sue or defend in Texas courts and possible personal liability of members or managers for certain debts), and the Secretary of State forfeits the entity under the Tax Code. Reinstatement requires a tax clearance letter (05-377) and a filing fee.

Often missed: Owners with little or no revenue skip the May 15 filing, but the PIR is still required and missing it can lead to forfeiture of the LLC.

Report: Annual Report. State fee: $45 for a domestic LLC (11 V.S.A. 4033). Reinstatement fee $35 (11 V.S.A. 4034). Due: Within three months after the end of the LLC's fiscal year on record with the Secretary of State.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: Vermont business entity tax: an LLC treated as a pass-through owes the US$250 minimum annual entity tax on Form BI-471 (or BI-476 if eligible), due with the return on the 15th day of the 3rd month after year end (generally March 15). Vermont's instructions say a disregarded single-member LLC that reports on federal Form 1040 Schedule C or federal Form 1120 does not file Form BI-471. Ask the Vermont Department of Taxes how this applies to a foreign-owned LLC that files a pro forma Form 1120 with Form 5472.

If it is missed: The Secretary of State's fee page lists no late fee for a domestic LLC. For dissolution timing, check with the state.

Often missed: The deadline is tied to the fiscal year end on record, not the formation date, and Vermont instructions say registering with the Secretary of State alone can trigger the $250 minimum entity tax for a pass-through LLC.

What does a Virginia LLC pay each year?

Code 13.1-1062), assessed as of the first day of the second month before the anniversary month.

Often missed: Because there is no report form, owners overlook the $50 fee notice, and nonpayment cancels the LLC automatically three months after the due date.

A domestic LLC has 120 days from the delinquency notice date to file and return to active status; registration is administratively dissolved if not filed within four months of that date. Reinstatement within 5 years costs $140 plus all missed annual report fees.

Often missed: The Secretary of State annual report and the Department of Revenue business license renewal are separate filings with different agencies.

What does a West Virginia LLC pay each year?

Report: Annual Report. State fee: US$25 if received by June 30, plus a US$1 online processing fee.

Due: Between January 1 and June 30 of each year after the year of registration.

If it is missed: $75 if received after June 30 (includes a $50 late fee). An administrative dissolution or revocation notice may be mailed to LLCs that fail to file.

What does a Wyoming LLC pay each year?

Report: Annual Report with License Tax. State fee: License tax is $60 or two-tenths of one mill on the dollar ($.0002) of the LLC's capital, property and assets located and employed in Wyoming, whichever is greater (W.S. 17-29-209; SOS fee schedule effective July 1, 2026). Assets of $300,000 or less pay $60; for example $1,210,000 of Wyoming assets x .0002 = $242. Reports may be filed up to 120 days early. Due: On or before the first day of the anniversary month of formation each year.

Franchise, privilege or minimum tax: None beyond the annual report license tax. The license tax is based on Wyoming assets, not income, and applies to every LLC including a single-member disregarded LLC.

If it is missed: Delinquent on the second day of the month after the due date. Administratively dissolved if the report is not filed within 60 days after the due date. Reinstatement for tax is $100 and is available only within two years of dissolution.

Common questions

Which state is cheapest to keep an LLC in?

See our best state for a non-US founder's LLC comparison. On the state's own fees alone, states with no annual report or a low report fee cost least to maintain. But a foreign owner should usually form where the business actually operates, because an LLC doing business in another state generally has to register there too and pay that state's fees as well.

Does a single-member LLC owned by a non-US person pay these state fees?

Yes. The annual report and most franchise or minimum taxes apply to the LLC itself, whoever owns it. Some state taxes have exceptions for single-member LLCs, noted in that state's answer where the state says so.

Are these the fees for an LLC formed in another state?

No. The figures are for an LLC formed in that state. An LLC registered in a state as a foreign LLC often pays a different fee.

Do US LLCs still file BOI reports?

Not if they were formed in the US. FinCEN exempted US-formed companies from beneficial ownership reporting in March 2025 and finalized the exemption in a rule effective August 14, 2026.

How current are these figures?

Every figure was checked on the state's own website on October 28, 2026. States change fees, so confirm the amount on the linked state page when you file.
