Utah LLC Annual Report and Renewal

Utah requires one recurring filing from every LLC: the annual report, which the state itself calls the annual renewal. It is short, it is $18, and it is governed by Utah Code § 48-3a-212. Both domestic Utah LLCs and foreign LLCs registered here file it with the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code. Miss it long enough and the state expires your company, so put the date on a calendar you actually look at.

When the Utah Renewal Is Due

The renewal is due by the last day of your LLC's anniversary month, meaning the month you originally registered, every year. The filing window opens roughly 60 days ahead of that deadline, so you get about two months of runway. Formed the company on March 9? Every year you can file starting around the beginning of February and must finish by March 31.

The Utah Renewal Fee: $18

The fee is $18 per year. That total includes a $5 surcharge that funds the state's UtahID single-sign-on portal, so there is no way to pay a bare $13; $18 is the number. The renewal itself is minimal. You confirm your registered agent, principal address, and principals, and that is essentially the whole exercise.

How to File the Renewal

1. Log in at businessregistration.utah.gov with your UtahID.
2. Pick one of the two renewal paths: "Annual Report/Renewal with Changes" or "Annual Report/Renewal without Changes."
3. If nothing changed, click through to the Signature Page, sign, and pay the $18.
4. If something substantive changed (registered agent, principal or business address, principals), the update runs through the LLC Registration Information Change Form. Its $17 processing fee is waived when it rides along with your renewal, so renewal time is the free moment to update records.
5. Save the confirmation for your files.

Prefer paper? After logging in there is a "Submit a Paper Filing" option, or you can mail the filing to P.O. Box 146705, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-6705. One privacy note: everything on the registration is public record under Utah's GRAMA law, though individuals may list the business's physical address instead of a home address.

Late Fee, Expiration, and the $54 Way Back

File after the deadline and Utah tacks on a $10 late fee. Keep not filing and the consequences escalate: once the renewal is two years past due, the LLC expires, which is Utah's version of administrative dissolution. Reviving an expired LLC means reinstatement and a $54 fee under the Division's FY2026 schedule, plus catching up on what you owe. Cheaper and easier to just file the $18 renewal on time.

Keep a Registered Agent on File, Always

The renewal is not your only continuing duty. Utah requires a registered agent with a Utah street address on file for the LLC's entire life. If that seat goes vacant, good standing is at risk no matter how punctual your renewals are. Our registered agent service keeps the seat filled and we send reminders before your renewal month so the deadline never sneaks up.

Federal Obligations Do Not Care About Utah's Calendar

Separate from the state renewal, the IRS expects its own filings: Schedule C for single-member LLCs, Form 1065 for multi-member, self-employment tax on member profits, and quarterly estimated payments once you expect to owe $1,000 or more. Employees add payroll filings on top.
