Michigan Annual Report Filing: Due Date, Fee, and How to File

Michigan requires an annual report from every LLC, although the state's official name for the filing is the Annual Statement. Standard LLCs submit Form CSCL/CD-2700 under MCL 450.4207 to the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), the agency that administers business filings in Michigan instead of a Secretary of State. This page covers the due date, the official state fee, the filing procedure, and the penalties that accumulate once the deadline passes.

Michigan Annual Report Due Date: February 15

The Annual Statement is due by February 15 every year. This is a fixed calendar deadline for all LLCs, not an anniversary-based one. LARA mails a pre-populated statement to your registered agent, the role Michigan statutes call the resident agent, roughly 90 days before the deadline, so the form typically arrives in mid-November.

Two scheduling rules deserve attention:

First-year exception: An LLC organized after September 30 is not required to file on the February 15 immediately following organization. Its first statement comes due the next year.

Different calendars for other entities: Michigan profit corporations file an Annual Report (Form CSCL/CD-2500) by May 15, and nonprofit corporations file Form CSCL/CD-2000 by October 1. The February 15 deadline belongs to LLCs.

Michigan Annual Report Fee: $25

The official Michigan filing fee for a standard LLC Annual Statement is $25. The filing itself is brief. It verifies or updates the entity name, the registered office address, and the resident agent designation. Michigan does not request financial statements, revenue data, or member ownership percentages from standard LLCs on this filing.

Professional LLCs follow a separate track: a PLLC files Form CSCL/CD-2701, pays $75, and must list members or managers along with certification of their professional licenses. Veteran-owned LLCs may qualify to file at no charge by submitting proof of veteran status with a fee waiver request.

How to File the Michigan Annual Statement

Michigan moved to online-only filing in June 2025, when the MiBusiness Registry Portal replaced the older COFS system. Paper statements are no longer accepted, and legacy CID and PIN credentials did not transfer. The procedure:

1. Sign in at the MiBusiness Registry Portal with a MiLogin for Business account, creating one first if needed.
2. Locate your LLC in the registry and open its pending Annual Statement.
3. Review the pre-populated information and update the registered office or resident agent designation where anything has changed.
4. Pay the $25 state fee and submit before February 15.

LARA posts confirmation to your entity record once the filing processes.

Late Penalties and the Dissolution Timeline

Filing after February 15 triggers a statutory penalty of $10 for each month, or part of a month, the statement remains outstanding, capped at $50. A delinquent standard LLC therefore pays at most $75 in total: the $25 fee plus the $50 maximum penalty.

The more serious consequence runs on a two-year clock. An LLC that fails to file for two consecutive years loses good standing and becomes subject to administrative dissolution under Chapter 9 of the Michigan LLC Act. The entity may continue operating until dissolution occurs, but its name becomes available for others to claim. Restoration requires a Certificate of Restoration, approximately $50, plus each delinquent Annual Statement at $25 apiece.
