What reinstatement costs
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Reinstatement penalty | $100 |
| Each missed annual report | $15 each |
How to reinstate
- Look up the LLC on the Kentucky business search. A dissolved LLC shows inactive status and bad standing, with a link to the reinstatement package.
- File the reinstatement application with a reinstatement annual report covering the missed years.
- Pay the $100 penalty and $15 for each missed report.
Once reinstated, the LLC is treated as if it had never been dissolved. The certificate of reinstatement itself carries no extra fee.
