Kentucky LLC Annual Report

Kentucky LLCs file an annual report (or equivalent periodic filing) with the Secretary of State. The fee is $15 on a annual basis.

What it is

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

When it’s due

Kentucky 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 Kentucky SoS site.

Cost

$15 per annual filing for Kentucky 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

Kentucky 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

Kentucky has the cheapest LLC filing fee in the country at $40, with a low $15 annual report. The Limited Liability Entity Tax may apply at higher revenue.
