If you don't file your North Dakota LLC annual report by November 15, your LLC enters a 60-day grace period during which the Secretary of State's office will not take action. However, after January 14 (60 days past the deadline), the North Dakota Secretary of State may administratively dissolve your LLC without further notice. This dissolution terminates your legal business status and personal liability protection immediately.
To restore your LLC, you must file a Certificate of Reinstatement with the Secretary of State and pay a $125 reinstatement fee, plus any outstanding annual report fees ($0 for North Dakota). During the dissolution period, you cannot legally conduct business, sign contracts, or maintain liability protection—creating significant legal and financial exposure.
File your 2026 annual report through the North Dakota Secretary of State's online filing portal (sos.nd.gov) before November 15 to avoid administrative dissolution and additional costs.
File your North Dakota LLC annual report exclusively online through the North Dakota Secretary of State's Business Services portal at sos.nd.gov by June 15th each year. You'll need your LLC's exact legal name or seven-digit file number, your registered agent's current address, principal place of business location, and manager/member names. The nonrefundable filing fee is $50, payable by credit card, debit card, or ACH transfer during checkout. Failure to file by the June 15th deadline triggers a $10 monthly penalty until filed, and your LLC's active status lapses, exposing you to personal liability and preventing you from legally conducting business in North Dakota. The annual report renewal takes approximately five business days for processing. Visit sos.nd.gov and navigate to the LLC Filing portal, then select "File Annual Report" to begin immediately.
The annual report filing fee for a North Dakota LLC is $50, payable to the North Dakota Secretary of State. This fee must be submitted when you file your annual report, which is due by April 15th each year. You can pay electronically through the Secretary of State's online filing portal using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover. The portal accepts payment during submission, streamlining the process into one transaction. Failure to pay the $50 fee will result in your filing being rejected, and your LLC may face administrative dissolution if the report remains unfiled beyond the deadline. To avoid late penalties and potential loss of good standing status, file your annual report with payment at least two weeks before the April 15th deadline. Visit the North Dakota Secretary of State website (sos.nd.gov) to access the online portal and complete your filing immediately.
All North Dakota LLCs must file their annual report with the North Dakota Secretary of State by November 15 each year, regardless of when the LLC was originally formed. This firm deadline applies to every registered LLC in the state, and the Secretary of State does not grant extensions. The annual report filing fee is $25, payable to the North Dakota Secretary of State. You'll file Form SFN 11911, the Official Annual Report form, either online through the Secretary of State's website or by mail. Missing this deadline results in administrative dissolution of your LLC, meaning you lose your legal business entity status and liability protection—a serious consequence that affects your ability to conduct business, sign contracts, and maintain good standing. To stay compliant, mark November 15 on your calendar now and submit your report at least one week early to account for processing delays.
No, all active North Dakota LLCs must file an annual report by November 15 with the North Dakota Secretary of State. There are no exemptions based on LLC size, activity level, or business type. Even if your LLC had no business activity during the year, you must still file the Annual Report form to maintain good standing and active status.
Failure to file by the deadline results in administrative dissolution, which removes your liability protection and complicates future reinstatement. The filing fee is $125, regardless of exemption claims. Non-filing also triggers potential penalties and may affect your ability to renew licenses or contracts. The only way to avoid filing is to voluntarily dissolve your LLC through the Secretary of State before November 15.
To remain compliant, submit your completed Annual Report form to the North Dakota Secretary of State by November 15, 2026, along with the $125 fee.
