Utah Annual Report Filing: Due Date, Fee & How to File

Every Utah LLC and corporation files an annual report to stay in good standing. Utah labels the filing an Annual Report/Renewal, and for LLCs it is governed by Utah Code § 48-3a-212 and administered by the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code. This page walks through the 2026 due date, the $18 fee, the filing steps, and what happens if the deadline slips past.

When Is the Utah Annual Report Due?

Your annual report is due by the last day of your registration anniversary month. If your LLC was registered in April, for example, the report can be filed any time up to April 30 each year. The filing window opens roughly 60 days ahead of that month-end, giving you about two months to complete a filing that usually takes minutes.

The report becomes delinquent on the first day after the anniversary month ends. There is no formal grace period, so the safest habit is to file as soon as the window opens.

Utah Annual Report Fee: $18

The official Utah annual report fee is $18 for LLCs, set by the FY2026 fee schedule that took effect July 1, 2025. Five dollars of that amount is a surcharge that funds the state's UtahID single-sign-on portal. The renewal is an administrative filing, not a tax return, and no financial information is reported on it.

For perspective, Utah pairs a $59 formation filing with an $18 renewal, which keeps ongoing state fees among the lowest in the country.

How to File the Utah Annual Report

Utah handles renewals through its online Business Registration System. Here is the process from start to finish:

1. Sign in at businessregistration.utah.gov using a UtahID login.
2. Select your entity, then choose either the Annual Report/Renewal with Changes path or the without Changes path.
3. Review the record. If your registered agent, principal address, or principals changed, the update rides along on the LLC Registration Information Change Form, and the state waives that form's $17 processing fee when it accompanies the renewal.
4. Advance to the Signature Page, sign, and pay the $18 fee.
5. Save the confirmation for your records.

Prefer paper? After logging in, the portal offers a Submit a Paper Filing option, and mailed filings go to P.O. Box 146705, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-6705.

Late Fees and Administrative Dissolution in Utah

Miss the deadline and the state adds a $10 late renewal fee, bringing the filing to $28. More important than the penalty is the clock it starts. An LLC that stays past due for two years is expired, which is Utah's term for administrative dissolution, and bringing an expired entity back requires reinstatement plus a $54 fee under the FY2026 schedule.

One note on the statute: the citation above, Utah Code § 48-3a-212, is current today, but Utah renumbers its LLC act (Title 48, Chapter 3a) effective October 1, 2026. The renewal obligation itself carries forward.

What the Renewal Confirms

Utah keeps this filing deliberately minimal. The renewal confirms your registered agent, your principal office address, and at least one principal such as a member or manager. Registration information is a public record under Utah's GRAMA law (Utah Code 63G-2-201), which is one reason many owners prefer a registered agent address on the record instead of a home address.

How We Help with Annual Renewals

We do not submit the renewal for you, but our registered agent service supports the filing in several ways:

Compliance Reminders We alert you before your anniversary month closes, so the $10 late fee and the two-year expiration clock never come into play.

Document Receipt Notices the Division of Corporations and Commercial Code sends to your registered agent address are scanned the day they arrive and delivered to you electronically through our portal.

Stable Agent Information The renewal confirms your registered agent details. With our service on file, that section never needs editing, because our Utah address stays the same year after year.

A Predictable Annual Price Registered agent service runs $99 per year alongside Utah's $18 renewal, so total recurring state compliance typically lands near $117.
