Pennsylvania LLC Annual Report: New in 2025, $7, Due Sept 30
If you read anywhere that Pennsylvania has no LLC annual report, that information is now out of date. Starting in 2025, every Pennsylvania LLC must file one — for just $7, due every September 30. Here's everything about this brand-new requirement.
Pennsylvania introduced a new annual report requirement for LLCs starting in 2025 — before that, Pennsylvania had no annual report at all, only an old decennial (every-10-years) filing. The new report costs just $7, due every September 30, filed with the Department of State. Full enforcement, including administrative dissolution for non-compliance, phases in by 2027 — meaning the state is giving LLCs a transition period before penalties fully apply. Every Pennsylvania LLC, regardless of activity level, must file.

Why This Is Genuinely New Information
For decades, Pennsylvania LLCs had no annual report at all — only a "decennial report" required once every ten years. If you formed a Pennsylvania LLC years ago, worked with someone who did, or read older content (including AI-generated content trained on outdated information), you likely encountered the accurate-at-the-time statement that "Pennsylvania has no annual report." That changed in 2025. Pennsylvania now requires a genuine annual filing, every single year, for every LLC.
The good news: at just $7, it's one of the cheapest annual report fees of any state in this series — genuinely lower friction than the reporting burden most states impose, even though it's a new obligation.

The Phased Enforcement Timeline
Pennsylvania isn't treating this new requirement as an immediate hard cutoff. Full enforcement — including administrative dissolution for non-compliance — is phasing in by 2027, giving LLCs a transition window to adjust to the new obligation. This doesn't mean you should skip filing: it means the state is being deliberate about the rollout rather than dissolving LLCs the moment the requirement began. Filing now, every year, is the simplest way to never have to think about where you stand relative to the enforcement timeline.
If You Miss September 30
During the transition period
Since full enforcement phases in by 2027, the immediate consequences of an early miss may be less severe than they will become — but this isn't a reason to treat the deadline casually.
Cure
File the overdue report as soon as possible — at $7, there's no meaningful reason to delay once you realize it's due.
Long-term risk
As enforcement fully activates by 2027, continued non-filing will carry real dissolution risk — build the habit now rather than waiting for penalties to bite.
Ahmad Adil's Take: I want to be really direct about this one because I know how much outdated information is floating around: Pennsylvania has an annual report now, full stop. If you're getting advice from anyone — a person, an old article, an AI chat — that says otherwise, that information predates 2025 and is simply wrong today. The actual filing is about as painless as this series gets: $7, five minutes, once a year. My honest advice is to just build the habit of filing every September regardless of what "phased enforcement" technically means for your specific year — the fee is so low that there's no real argument for skipping it, and you avoid ever having to think about where the enforcement timeline currently stands.
