A cost total
The late fee joins no formation total and no five-year total anywhere on this site, because a penalty is not a filing cost anyone plans for. The cost ledger does not read it, and this page adds nothing to it.
outside every total
What happens when an LLC files its annual report late?
Three things sit on each state's record: the late fee, the delinquency interval before the state may dissolve the LLC by administrative action, and what reinstatement costs. The fee is ranked only against itself and enters no cost total on this site.
The dissolution column is the first stage the state publishes, in the state's own unit; several states run a further notice period behind it, and this table never adds stages together or converts a unit. The reinstatement sentence is the record's own, verbatim.

| State | Late fee | Administrative dissolution | Reinstatement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Utah | $10 | after 60 days of delinquency | $54 A $54 reinstatement filing, plus $18 for each year the annual report was missed and a $10 delinquency fee. No deadline: a dissolved company may apply at any time after the effective date if its name is still available. |
| Alaska | $25 flat part only | after 6 months of delinquency | no single figure Priced as arithmetic, not a fee: reinstatement within two years requires double the amount delinquent plus everything owed had the company not been dissolved. The Division's AS 10.50 fee schedule lists no separate reinstatement charge, so no fixed figure exists. |
| Arkansas | $25 flat part only | after 6 months of delinquency | no single figure No reinstatement fee is published: the Secretary of State's own complete LLC filing-fee list carries no reinstatement line, and the statute conditions reinstatement on paying every fee, tax, interest and penalty due at dissolution and during it, within two years of the effective date. |
| Georgia | $25 | not read at this pin | $260 An Application for Reinstatement priced at $250 plus the $10 service charge Georgia adds to every filing, so $260 is what a filer pays; the schedule prices it identically online and on paper. |
| Rhode Island | $25 | after 60 days of delinquency | $50 The reinstatement penalty is $50 for each year or part of a year since the certificate of revocation, on top of the missed filings and a $50 Letter of Good Standing from the Division of Taxation; the Department of State calculates the total on request. |
| Virginia | $25 | after 3 months of delinquency | $100 Reinstatement costs $100 plus every annual registration fee and penalty that came due, and is available for five years after the LLC ceased to exist. |
| Washington | $25 | after 120 days of delinquency | $140 Reinstatement from administrative dissolution costs $140 plus every delinquent annual report fee. |
| Montana | $35 | after 140 days of delinquency | $35 A $35 reinstatement filing plus an additional $35 for each year of delinquent annual reports, available for five years after the effective date of dissolution and requiring a Department of Revenue tax certificate and every unfiled annual report. |
| Colorado | $50 | not read at this pin | $100 A delinquent LLC returns to good standing by filing a Statement Curing Delinquency at $100, on top of the late periodic report; the separately priced $100 Reinstatement is for an entity that has been dissolved, not merely delinquent. |
| Maine | $50 | after 60 days of delinquency | $150 A $150 reinstatement fee for failure to file an annual report, capped at $600 no matter how many reports were missed or how long the delinquency ran, applied for within six years of the effective date of administrative dissolution. |
| New Hampshire | $50 | after 24 months of delinquency | $135 A $135 application for reinstatement, available for three years after the effective date of dissolution and requiring a Department of Revenue Administration certificate if it arrives more than 120 days after the dissolution notice; after the three years it becomes a late reinstatement at $500. |
| North Dakota | $50 | after 6 months of delinquency | $135 A $135 reinstatement fee, payable with the past-due annual report and its own filing and penalty fees, and only within one year of the involuntary termination; after that year reinstatement is no longer an administrative filing at all but a petition to the district court serving Burleigh County. |
| Texas | $50 flat part only | not read at this pin | $75 Form 801 costs $75 and cannot be filed until the Comptroller issues a tax clearance letter, which requires every missing franchise tax report to be filed and all tax, penalty and interest paid. |
| West Virginia | $50 | after 60 days of delinquency | $25 A $25 reinstatement filing, available for two years after the effective date of dissolution, and the application must carry a certificate from the Tax Commissioner that all taxes owed have been paid. |
| South Dakota | $55 | after 60 days of delinquency | $150 Reinstatement after administrative dissolution costs $150 plus the filing fee for every delinquent annual report. |
| Nevada | $75 | after 12 months of delinquency | $300 A $300 reinstatement fee, on top of the annual list filing fee and the $75 penalty for each year or portion of a year the list was not filed; a charter that has stayed revoked for five consecutive years cannot be reinstated at all. |
| Kansas | $85 | after 3 months of delinquency | $35 Reinstatement is a $35 filing fee plus the $85 penalty plus $110 for each missed information report, capped at five reporting years, which the Secretary of State totals at $230 for one report and $670 for five. |
| Illinois | $100 | after 120 days of delinquency | $200 Reinstatement costs $200 and requires every report then due to be filed and all fees and penalties paid with the application. |
| District of Columbia | $100 | after 5 months of delinquency | $300 A $300 reinstatement after administrative dissolution, with no time limit in the statute, payable together with every fee and penalty that was due at the dissolution and every one that would have come due while the entity was dissolved. |
| Delaware | $200 flat part only | after 36 months of delinquency | $180 A cancelled LLC is revived by filing a certificate of revival with the $180 filing fee plus the annual tax and all penalties and interest owed at the time of cancellation. |
| California | $250 | after 60 days of delinquency | no single figure There is no separate SOS reinstatement filing: an entity suspended by the Secretary of State for a missed Statement of Information is revived by filing the current one online; a Franchise Tax Board suspension additionally needs an Application for Certificate of Revivor. |
| Florida | $400 | not read at this pin | $100 Reinstatement costs $100 plus the annual report fee for every year missed, paid with the reinstatement application. |

sorted by the late fee, ascending
A figure marked flat part only is not the whole penalty: those states also run a rate or tax penalty on top of it, and only the state's own schedule says how large the bill gets. The ranked figure is what the state publishes as a flat amount, not what any particular lapse will cost.
Which states charge no late fee at all?
These states publish no late fee for a missed report, and every row here is a researched finding grounded on the agency's own fee schedule, never an unread record. It is not an all-clear: the dissolution clock and the reinstatement bill still run, and both columns stay on the record.
| State | Late fee | Administrative dissolution | Reinstatement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alabama | none published | not read at this pin | no single figure Alabama publishes no reinstatement filing or fee for a domestic limited liability company: with no recurring report there is no report-driven administrative dissolution to be reinstated from, and the Secretary of State's fee schedule prices no such filing. |
| Arizona | none published | not read at this pin | $100 A $100 Application for Reinstatement, filed within six years of the administrative dissolution and with every fee and penalty that fell due before and during the dissolution; the company's name is released to others after six months. |
| Connecticut | none published | after 12 months of delinquency | $120 A $120 certificate of reinstatement, which must be accompanied by payment of all penalties and forfeitures incurred, an annual report for the current year and an appointment of a registered agent; reinstatement may be applied for at any time after dissolution. |
| Hawaii | none published | not read at this pin | $25 A $25 Application for Reinstatement (Form X-4), available only within two years of the involuntary dissolution and only to domestic entities, filed with every delinquent annual report, a Department of Taxation clearance, and payment of all delinquent fees and costs. |
| Idaho | none published | after 60 days of delinquency | no single figure An Application for Reinstatement may be filed up to ten years after dissolution and requires payment of every fee, tax, interest and penalty due at or since dissolution. Idaho publishes the application's own filing fee only inside its online filing system, so no figure is recorded here. |
| Indiana | none published | after 60 days of delinquency | no single figure No separate reinstatement fee is published: IC 23-0.5-6-3(d) requires paying every fee, tax, interest and penalty that was due at dissolution plus everything that would have accrued while dissolved, filed within 5 years of dissolution (later, with a reasons statement). |
| Iowa | none published | after 60 days of delinquency | $5 A $5 Application for Reinstatement, filed with the two most recent biennial reports at their ordinary fee; there is no time limit on applying, but an application made more than five years after dissolution must state a name that is still available. |
| Kentucky | none published | after 60 days of delinquency | $100 Reinstatement costs a $100 penalty plus the current $15 fee for each delinquent annual report, and needs a Department of Revenue certificate that all taxes are paid. |
| Louisiana | none published | after 36 months of delinquency | $100 A $100 reinstatement filing under R.S. 49:222(A)(2)(c), submitted with an application signed by a member or manager and the company's current annual report, and available only within three years of the effective date of the revocation. |
| Massachusetts | none published | after 24 months of delinquency | $100 A $100 Application for Reinstatement Following Administrative Dissolution, which may be filed at any time, and every annual report owed must be filed with it - at $500 each, that catch-up is far larger than the reinstatement fee itself. |
| Michigan | none published | not read at this pin | $50 A certificate of restoration of good standing costs $50 and must arrive with the $25 annual statement for every year missed, plus the current year's if filed on or after February 15. |
| Minnesota | none published | automatic on the missed deadline | $25 A single annual renewal filed with a $25 fee, with no published time limit and with the reinstatement retroactive to the date of the administrative termination. |
| Mississippi | none published | not read at this pin | $50 A $50 reinstatement fee for a domestic LLC ($100 foreign), filed online via the Business Filings menu; certain LLCs must first obtain a tax clearance letter from the Department of Revenue and attach it to the reinstatement request. |
| Missouri | none published | not read at this pin | no single figure Missouri publishes no reinstatement filing or fee for a limited liability company, and the reason is upstream of the fee: the Secretary of State has no power to dissolve one administratively, so there is no administrative dissolution to be reinstated from. |
| Nebraska | none published | not read at this pin | $30 An Application for Reinstatement is $30, rising to $500 as an Application for Late Reinstatement once the entity has been inactive for over five years, and past biennial report fees and interest may be added. |
| New Jersey | none published | after 24 months of delinquency | $75 Reinstatement is a $75 filing plus every outstanding annual report at $75 each, and a $20 Tax Clearance Certificate where the LLC was revoked for unpaid annual reports more than two years ago. |
| New Mexico | none published | not read at this pin | no single figure Reinstatement is available within two years of an administrative revocation and the LLC Act's complete fee list prices no reinstatement filing; the revocation it cures is a registered-agent one, since New Mexico imposes no recurring report. |
| New York | none published | not read at this pin | no single figure There is nothing to reinstate: a past due LLC files the missed Biennial Statement at the ordinary $9 fee, online or on a paper form requested from the Statement Unit, and the past due status clears. |
| North Carolina | none published | after 60 days of delinquency | $100 Reinstatement costs $100 for the application plus the $200 fee for every delinquent annual report that has to be filed with it. |
| Ohio | none published | not read at this pin | $25 A $25 Reinstatement & Appointment of Agent (form 525A); it is the only reinstatement filing offered to a limited liability company, and it exists for the statutory-agent ground rather than for any missed periodic report. |
| Oklahoma | none published | not read at this pin | no fee of its own The Application for Reinstatement itself carries no fee; the LLC pays only the $25 annual certificate and any other fee due for each delinquent year. |
| Oregon | none published | after 45 days of delinquency | no single figure The Secretary of State says a reinstatement fee is payable along with the missed annual fee or fees, but publishes no figure for it; reinstatement is open for five years from the date of dissolution, and the Secretary may waive even that limit on evidence of continued existence as an active concern. |
| Pennsylvania | none published | after 6 months of delinquency | $35 A $35 application for reinstatement filed electronically, $40 on paper, plus $15 for each annual report not previously paid; there is no limit on the period of time within which a domestic filing entity may reinstate. |
| South Carolina | none published | not read at this pin | $25 A $25 application for reinstatement after administrative dissolution, available within two years of the effective date and requiring a Department of Revenue certificate that all taxes owed have been paid. |
| Tennessee | none published | not read at this pin | $70 A $70 Application for Reinstatement Following Administrative Dissolution/Revocation (SS-9410), which will be rejected unless tax clearance verification for reinstatement is first obtained from the Tennessee Department of Revenue. |
| Vermont | none published | automatic on the missed deadline | $35 A $35 reinstatement fee for each year the company failed to file, paid together with the missing annual reports and their own $45 filing fees; the reinstatement relates back to the termination, and after five years the company loses the right to its name. |
| Wisconsin | none published | after 12 months of delinquency | no single figure No separate reinstatement fee is published; DFI's own dissolution FAQ states there are no late fees or penalties, and reinstatement (requested from DFI by email) requires only the back annual reports at $25 each (Wis. Stat. 183.0709(2)). |
| Wyoming | none published | after 60 days of delinquency | $100 A company forfeited over the annual report license fee is reinstated on the delinquent fees plus a $100 reinstatement fee, per the SoS's own reinstatement form and fee schedule; the statute's text alone names no fee for this ground. |

a penalty with no single figure
- Maryland The penalty has more than one part and the state publishes no one number for it.
What does this page not tell you?
Three boundaries, and naming them is part of the record. This page prices a lapse and never predicts one.
A countdown
The dissolution column is the first interval the state publishes, not the time a company has left. Several states run a notice stage behind it, and some dissolve on the deadline itself with no interval at all.
first stage only
The whole consequence
Losing good standing has effects this table does not price: contracts, lending and name protection among them. What each state attaches to delinquency is on that state's own record sheet, in its late-filing section.
