When the Vermont Annual Report is due
Vermont LLCs file an Annual Report every year. It is due within three months after the end of the LLC's fiscal year on record (by March 31 for a December 31 fiscal year end).
What the Annual Report asks for
It confirms or updates what the state holds about your LLC. Expect to give:
- The LLC's name and Vermont file number
- The principal office and mailing address
- Your registered agent's name and address in Vermont
- 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 Vermont'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 Vermont does.
How to file
File with the Vermont Secretary of State, Business Services Division, online. Have your file number and your current agent and address details ready.
