Pennsylvania LLC Annual Report: The September 30 Deadline Explained (2026)

If you own a Pennsylvania LLC, your annual report is due by September 30 — and if this is news to you, you're not alone. Pennsylvania only started requiring annual reports in 2025, replacing the old decennial (once-a-decade) report, so 2026 is just the second year most LLC owners have ever had to file one.

What the Pennsylvania annual report is

It's a short filing with the Pennsylvania Department of State that confirms your company's basic facts: name, registered office, principal office, and at least one governor (member or manager). The state fee is $7 for LLCs — the filing matters far more than the price tag.

The 2026 deadlines by entity type

• Corporations (business and nonprofit): June 30 — already passed for 2026
• LLCs: September 30
• LPs, LLPs, business trusts and other entities: December 31

The filing window opens January 1 each year, so an LLC can file any time in the first nine months.

What happens if you miss September 30

For now, less than you'd fear — but that's temporary. There is no administrative dissolution for reports missed in 2025 or 2026. Starting with reports due in 2027, an entity that fails to file becomes subject to administrative dissolution six months after the due date — and loses the protection of its business name, meaning someone else can register it.

In other words: 2026 is the last practice year. Building the September 30 habit now is exactly what keeps you safe when the real penalties start.
