Alabama LLC Annual Report

Alabama LLCs file an annual report (or equivalent periodic filing) with the Secretary of State. The fee is $50 on a annual basis.

What it is

The annual report keeps your LLC’s information current with the Alabama state — addresses, members/managers, and registered agent. It is filed online or by mail.

When it’s due

Alabama requires the report on a annual cycle. Most states use the anniversary month of formation, but some have a fixed due date for all entities. Verify the current due date for your specific LLC on the Alabama SoS site.

Cost

$50 per annual filing for Alabama LLCs.

What information is required

  • LLC name and SoS file number
  • Principal office address
  • Names and addresses of members or managers (state requirements vary)
  • Registered agent information
  • Brief description of business activity (some states)

Penalties for late or missed filing

Alabama imposes penalties for late filing — typically a flat late fee plus risk of administrative dissolution if the report remains unfiled past a grace period. Reinstatement after dissolution typically costs much more than the original report fee.

State-specific note

Alabama LLCs must file the Business Privilege Tax Return (BPT-IN initial, then annual) with the Department of Revenue separately from any Secretary of State filing.
