First one

First due April 15 of the calendar year after formation.

Fee

$300 flat, owed even if the LLC owns no property. Paying online by card or PayPal adds a 3% technology fee.

Frequency

Annual

If it is late

A late penalty that starts at $30 and grows the later the report gets, capped at $500, plus interest. Forfeiture is slower - the state certifies its list just after September 30 each year, and only for reports still missing from the year before.
