Michigan LLC Annual Statement: $25, Due Feb 15 (2026)
An ordinary Michigan LLC files a $25 Annual Statement by February 15. Formation/qualification after September 30 skips the immediately following February 15. LARA lists a two-year nonfiling interval before loss-of-good-standing action; the statutory notice and cure process and actual record control. Ordinary LLC nonfiling does not itself mean automatic dissolution or loss of all liability protection. Restoration costs $50 plus $25 per missing statement, including the current statement if filed on or after February 15. Submit all required statements with the certificate.

What the Michigan Annual Statement Is
A compliance confirmation, not a financial disclosure. The annual statement — officially the term LARA uses, though most founders search "annual statement" — confirms your LLC's current information: principal address, resident agent and registered office, and management. No revenue data. Its defining features:
- $25 a year — among the cheapest ongoing state fees in the country.
- February 15 for everyone — Michigan uses one statewide date rather than anniversary dates, so your deadline is easy to remember but shared by every LLC (which is exactly why it gets forgotten en masse each year).
- Filed with LARA — online through the MiBusiness Registry Portal (fastest) or by mail.
- The October–December exception — form in the last quarter and your first February 15 is waived.

How to File in 10 Minutes
Log in to the MiBusiness Registry
The same account that formed your LLC files your annual statement — search your entity and select the annual filing.
Confirm your information
Principal address, resident agent and registered office, management. Update anything that changed during the year.
Pay $25 and archive
Save the accepted statement confirmation and check the official entity record. A payment or calculator result alone is not a good-standing certificate.
File in January, not February: the February 15 deadline lands in the middle of tax-season prep, when one more filing is easy to lose. LARA's system accepts the statement well before the deadline, so knock it out in early January while things are quiet — it's $25 and ten minutes, and doing it early removes it from the exact week you least want to remember it.

Never-Miss Tips
- File in early January — before tax season buries the February 15 date.
- Set a recurring calendar reminder for February 1 with a hard deadline of February 15.
- Keep your resident agent address current so LARA's reminders actually reach you.
- Let a service handle it — many commercial resident agents track and file the statement as part of their fee.
File early in the available window, keep the agent and official contact details current, and retain acceptance records. LARA says online filing opens October 15. A two-year nonfiling interval is not permission to ignore the February 15 obligation.
