What happens, and when
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| Last day of the anniversary month | The expiration date: the report is due, $70. |
| Day after the expiration date | The LLC is delinquent and the fee rises to $95. The state mails a delinquency notice at the start of the next month. |
| 120 days past the expiration date | The state issues an administrative dissolution notice, and the LLC is dissolved if it still does not file. |
| Five years after dissolution | The reinstatement window closes. |

What reinstatement costs
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Reinstatement fee | $140 |
| Delinquent annual report fees | $70 for each missed report, plus fees owed |
How to reinstate
- Look up the LLC on CCFS to confirm its status and expiration date.
- File the reinstatement online in CCFS within five years of dissolution.
- Pay $140 plus every delinquent annual report fee in the same filing.
Filing during the delinquent period, before dissolution, costs only the $70 report and the $25 fee. Waiting for dissolution and then reinstating costs far more.
