When the Michigan Annual Statement is due
Michigan LLCs file an Annual Statement every year. It is due February 15 each year.
The first one is due February 15 of the year after formation, except that an LLC formed after September 30 skips the February 15 immediately following its formation.
What the Annual Statement asks for
It confirms or updates what the state holds about your LLC. Expect to give:
- The LLC's name and Michigan file number
- The principal office and mailing address
- Your registered agent's name and address in Michigan
- The members or managers, as your state's form asks
If something has changed since the last filing, such as a new member or manager, update your operating agreement first so the two match.
If you miss it
The LLC falls out of good standing on Michigan's records. Most states also add a late penalty, and many administratively dissolve an LLC whose report stays unfiled. Without good standing, banks and partners ask questions, some contracts cannot be signed, and a dissolved LLC has to file for reinstatement. The sources below set out exactly what Michigan does.
How to file
File with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), Corporations Division, online. Have your file number and your current agent and address details ready.

$299 / year state fee included
