Missed Your Annual Report Deadline? What Happens in Each State

Missing an annual report deadline is rarely fatal — but what it costs you, and how fast things escalate, depends entirely on the state. Here is what actually happens in each state we cover, from the mildest to the most expensive.

States that charge a flat late fee

• Florida — $400, immediately. The harshest flat penalty in the country kicks in the day after May 1 for profit entities. Miss the third Friday of September too, and you're dissolved the fourth Friday. See Florida Annual Report Filing.
• Georgia — $25. Applies after April 1; continued non-filing leads to dissolution under Title 14. See Georgia Annual Registration Filing.
• Washington — $25 delinquency fee. The $70 report becomes $95, then prolonged delinquency leads to dissolution. See Washington Annual Report Filing.
• Virginia — $25 for LLCs; 10% or $10 minimum for stock corporations. Then real trouble: corporations are terminated four months after the missed date, LLCs canceled after three. See Virginia Annual Report Filing.

States where the clock is the penalty

• Wyoming — dissolved in about 60 days. You're delinquent on the second day after your due month starts; dissolution follows 60 days later. The fastest guillotine of any state we file in. See Wyoming Annual Report Filing.
• Indiana — a Past Due notice, then a Pending Administrative Dissolution notice. See Indiana Business Entity Report Filing.
• North Carolina — a Notice of Grounds, then dissolution if you don't cure it. See North Carolina Annual Report Filing.
• Wisconsin — loss of good standing, then dissolution. See Wisconsin Annual Report Filing.
• Pennsylvania — grace through 2026, but from reports due in 2027, dissolution comes six months after the missed date. See Pennsylvania Annual Report Filing.

Why "dissolved" is the real cost

Late fees sting, but administrative dissolution is the expensive part: loss of liability protection for post-dissolution business, a business name up for grabs, frozen bank relationships, and a reinstatement process that requires filing every missed report plus penalties. The full picture is in our administrative dissolution guide.
