North Carolina LLC Annual Report

What it is

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

When it’s due

North Carolina 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 North Carolina SoS site.

Cost

$200 per annual filing for North Carolina 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

North Carolina 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

The North Carolina annual report fee for LLCs is $200, due April 15. Corporations file with the Department of Revenue separately.
