Maine LLC Annual Report

Maine requires an annual report to keep your LLC's records current and in good standing. The fee is $85 per filing.

What the report is for

The report updates the public record: the principal office, mailing address, registered agent, and the members or managers. It is separate from your tax returns and is filed with the Maine Secretary of State, usually online.

Cost and frequency

When it is due

Due dates differ by state. Many states set the deadline by the month you formed the LLC, while others use one fixed date for every entity. Check your account on the Maine filing office for your exact deadline, and add it to a calendar with a reminder a month ahead.

What information to have ready

• LLC name and state file number
• Principal office and mailing addresses
• Names and addresses of managers or members, depending on the state
• Registered agent name and street address
• Officer or organizer signature and contact details

Late and missed filings

States commonly charge a late fee and, if the report stays unfiled past a grace period, administratively dissolve the LLC. Reinstatement usually costs more than the report itself and can require back filings. Filing on time is the cheapest option.
