Maine LLC Annual Report: $85, Due June 1 (2026)
Maine domestic LLC annual reports cost $85 and are due by June 1. Late filing carries a $50 penalty. Administrative dissolution follows the statutory notice and cure process rather than one fixed date computed fromJune 1.
The domestic annual-report fee is $85 ($150 for foreign LLCs), due by June 1 in the annual filing window starting the year after formation. Late filing carries a $50 penalty under section 1680. Administrative dissolution follows the statutory notice process: section 1592 uses a 60-day cure interval after notice issuance and perfected service; mailed notice is perfected 5 days after the qualifying mailing. Do not treat a fixed 65 days afterJune 1 as the statutory dissolution date. Check the actual notice and SOS record.

What the Maine Annual Report Is
A compliance confirmation, not a financial disclosure: current principal office, registered agent, and management information. No revenue, no tax data. The mechanics:
- Fixed statewide window: January 1 through June 1, every year — everyone's deadline is June 1, no anniversary math.
- First report: due the year after your formation calendar year. Form anytime in 2026 → first report due January 1 – June 1, 2027 — even if you formed December 30.
- $85 domestic / $150 foreign, and yes — online filing is available for this one.
- No mailed forms, ever: reminders are courtesy emails from cec.corporations@informe.org, only if a valid email is on file. Paper "annual report invoices" in your mailbox are almost certainly third-party solicitation scams.
- Corrections: Form MLLC-13A lets you amend a filed report until December 31 of the filing year.

How to File in 5 Minutes
Use the state's online annual report filing
Search your LLC by name or charter number — Maine's one online filing is genuinely quick. Paper remains available if you insist on tradition.
Confirm your information
Principal office, registered agent, management details. A real agent change belongs on Form CLKRA-3 ($35), not smuggled into the report.
Pay $85 and save the confirmation
Download the filed report — your proof of good standing. Then set next January's recurring reminder.
File in January. The window opens January 1. Filing the first week — during year-start bookkeeping — makes June 1 irrelevant and beats every failure mode at once: forgotten emails, spam-foldered reminders, and the $50 penalty.
The Penalty Ladder (31 M.R.S. §1680 & §1667)
June 2: the $50 penalty attaches
Statutory and flat — file a day late or a month late, the report now costs $135 total. No discretion, no waiver process to count on.
After notice: statutory cure period
The domestic annual-report fee is $85 ($150 for foreign LLCs), due by June 1 in the annual filing window starting the year after formation. Late filing carries a $50 penalty under section 1680. Administrative dissolution follows the statutory notice process: section 1592 uses a 60-day cure interval after notice issuance and perfected service; mailed notice is perfected 5 days after the qualifying mailing. Do not treat a fixed 65 days afterJune 1 as the statutory dissolution date. Check the actual notice and SOS record.
Dissolved: the meter runs by ground
Reinstatement bills $150 per ground of failure — annual report, late penalty, agent failure each count — with the annual-report portion capped at $600.
Reinstatement vs Revival — Maine's Two Comebacks
Maine splits the comeback path in two. Reinstatement (§1593): available for 6 years after administrative dissolution; approved reinstatement relates back as if the dissolution never happened — at $150 per ground (report portion capped at $600) plus the overdue filings. Revival (Form MLLC-REVIVE, $150): the mechanism after your certificate has been cancelled, typically once the 6-year window has passed. Both are paper filings, both are slower and costlier than the January reminder that prevents them.
Planning note: file early, retain confirmation, keep the agent/contact details current and follow any actual SOS notice. Courtesy reminders do not extend a deadline.
