Georgia LLC Annual Fee
What is the annual fee for an LLC in Georgia?
Georgia LLCs must pay a $60 annual registration fee each year, due between January 1 and April 1 under O.C.G.A. § 14-11-603. This fee is separate from the initial $110 formation fee paid when filing your Articles of Organization. Your first annual registration is due between January 1 and April 1 of the year following your LLC's formation.
Filing Requirements
File your Annual Registration online through the Georgia Secretary of State's website. Include your LLC's control number or exact legal name, the filer's name and valid email address, your registered agent's name and Georgia physical street address, and your principal office mailing address.
Late-Filing Penalties
Missing the April 1 deadline triggers a $25 late-filing penalty. You have a 60-day grace period after notice from the Secretary of State to cure noncompliance. Failure to file within this window results in administrative dissolution of your LLC under O.C.G.A. § 14-11-603.
Reinstatement Costs
If your LLC is administratively dissolved for missing annual registrations, you may apply for reinstatement within five years. Reinstatement requires a $260 fee plus all delinquent annual registration fees and accumulated penalties.
Key Dates
- Filing window: January 1 to April 1 each calendar year
- First filing due: January 1 to April 1 of the year following formation
- Late penalty threshold: April 1
- Grace period: 60 days after Secretary of State notice
Best Practice
Set a calendar reminder for early January each year. Filing online before April 1 ensures compliance and avoids penalties and dissolution risk.
