Arizona LLC: No Annual Report, but Updates Within 30 Days

Arizona LLCs file no annual report and pay no annual fee. The obligation that replaces it is event-driven: when your agent, address, members, or managers change, the Corporation Commission expects an amendment or statement of change within 30 days.

No annual report. That is the rule, not a loophole

Arizona simply never gave LLCs an annual report. The annual report duty in Arizona law applies to corporations, under A.R.S. section 10-1622, and Title 29, Chapter 7, the LLC Act, imposes no equivalent on limited liability companies. The Corporation Commission's LLC fee schedule confirms it from the money side: it contains no annual, biennial, or periodic fee of any kind. If a service tries to sell you an Arizona LLC annual report filing, it is selling a product the state does not offer. There is also no entity tax or franchise tax in the LLC Act. What Arizona asks for instead is accuracy: the record the Commission approved at formation has to stay true, enforced with short deadlines tied to events, not to the calendar.

What Arizona requires instead: the 30-day updates

Event	What to file, and when	Fee
Change of statutory agent	Amendment or Statement of Change within 30 days	$25 / $5
Change of principal address	Amendment or Statement of Change within 30 days	$25 / $5
Change in the address of a manager, a member, or the statutory agent	Amendment or Statement of Change within 30 days	$25 / $5
Member-managed LLC: a change in members	Amendment within 30 days	$25
Manager-managed LLC: a change in managers, or in members owning 20% or more	Amendment within 30 days	$25
A statement in the articles was false or erroneous when made	Amendment; a Statement of Correction costs $25	$25

These duties come from A.R.S. section 29-3202, which adds two teeth. A member or manager who knows filed information has become inaccurate must promptly cause an amendment, a statement of change under section 29-3116, or a statement of correction under section 29-3209 to be filed. And an LLC that has not amended as required may not maintain a court action on a contract made in the company's name until it does. Expedited handling adds $35 to each filing.

The second clock: publication

Formation starts one other deadline. Within 60 days after the Commission files the articles, the LLC must publish the information in A.R.S. section 29-3201(B) for three consecutive publications in a newspaper of general circulation in the county of the statutory agent's street address, unless that address is in a county with a population of more than 800,000 persons, in which case the Commission inputs the approval information into its public database and the requirement is satisfied. Maricopa and Pima are the counties over the threshold, so most Arizona LLCs never deal with a newspaper at all. Amendments and restated articles trigger the same 60-day rule, except amendments that change only member or manager names or addresses, the principal address, or the statutory agent's name or address. An affidavit of publication may be filed with the Commission but is not required. Failure to publish is not listed among the grounds for administrative dissolution in the current text of section 29-3708, so claims that skipping it by itself dissolves an LLC were not confirmed in the statute. Comply anyway.

Administrative dissolution: the actual grounds

Under A.R.S. section 29-3708, the Commission may start administrative dissolution proceedings if the LLC:

• does not pay a fee or penalty within 60 days after it is due;
• is without a statutory agent for 60 consecutive days;
• is without a principal address for 60 consecutive days;
• does not notify the Commission within 60 days after its statutory agent or principal address changes or its agent resigns;
• does not amend its articles or file a statement of change or correction as section 29-3202 requires; or
• does not respond to Commission interrogatories under section 29-3212.

The Commission must give notice first, and the LLC has 60 days to cure before the Commission issues a statement of administrative dissolution. A dissolved LLC continues only to wind up or to seek reinstatement, and dissolution does not terminate the statutory agent's authority.

Reinstatement, and closing on purpose

Reinstatement under A.R.S. section 29-3709 is available within 6 years after administrative dissolution. The application states the company's name at dissolution, the statutory agent's name and address, and the principal address, and that the grounds did not exist or have been cured. The fee is $100, or $135 expedited, plus all fees and penalties due at dissolution and all that would have been due while dissolved. Reinstatement relates back to the dissolution date. One trap: after 6 months, the Commission releases the name for others to use. Closing on purpose is simpler: once the company's known property and assets have been applied and distributed, file Articles of Termination for $35, or $70 expedited.
