Georgia LLC Annual Registration — Step 6 of 8
Georgia's annual filing is refreshingly easy to remember — a flat $60, always due during the same window every year: January 1 through April 1. No anniversary math required.
Every Georgia LLC files an Annual Registration every year for a flat $60 ($50 base fee + $10 service charge). Unlike most states, it's due during a fixed calendar window — January 1 through April 1 — regardless of when your LLC was formed. Your first registration isn't due until the January–April window in the year after formation. Missing the deadline triggers a $25 late fee and eventually administrative dissolution.

What the Annual Registration Is
The Annual Registration keeps your LLC's core details current with the Secretary of the State — Georgia's version of the "annual report" most states require, but with one refreshing simplification.
- Fee: a flat $60 ($50 base fee + $10 service charge), regardless of your LLC's size or revenue.
- Due window: a fixed calendar window — January 1 through April 1 — every year, unlike most states which use a floating anniversary-based deadline.
- First registration timing: not due until the January–April window in the year after your LLC was formed — regardless of whether you formed in January or December.
- Filed with: the Georgia Secretary of the State's Corporations Division, online through eCorp, mail, or in person.
- File up to 3 years in advance — Georgia lets you pre-pay multiple years at $60 each if you'd rather not think about it annually.

How to File
- If nothing has changed: use the One Click Annual Registration option — no login required, just confirm and pay.
- If you need to update anything: log in to your eCorp account, review your principal office address, registered agent, and NAICS code, edit as needed.
- Pay the $60 fee by credit card online, or mail a check/money order with the printed form — mail filings must be postmarked by April 1 to avoid the late fee.
- Save your confirmation email and receipt — this is your proof of compliance for the year.
Missing the deadline moves fast toward dissolution in GeorgiaSome other states give you a year or more of grace before dissolution kicks in. Georgia is quicker — miss the April 1 deadline and you'll owe a $25 late fee, and continued non-filing can lead to administrative dissolution the same year. Georgia doesn't send a reminder you can count on either, so put January 1 on your calendar and file early in the window.
