Kansas LLC Biennial Information Report: $90 Online, Due April 15 of Your Parity Year

Every Kansas LLC files a Business Entity Information Report with the Secretary of State every two years, by April 15 of the year matching its formation year's parity, at $90 online or $110 by paper. Miss it and a three month delinquency window runs; after that the LLC is forfeited, which is Kansas's term for the lapse, not administrative dissolution.

The biennial information report, in one table

Item	Kansas rule
Form	Form ILC, Business Entity Information Report for a limited liability company or series, under K.S.A. section 17-76,139.
Who files	Kansas LLCs and series. A series must use the paper form; a series report cannot be filed online.
When	Biennially, not later than April 15, in the year matching the formation year's parity. Businesses forming in even years file reports in each succeeding even year, and businesses forming in odd years file in each succeeding odd year, so an LLC formed in 2026 first reports by April 15, 2028.
Fee	$90 filed online, $110 by paper, as printed on Form ILC. The statute, section 17-76,139, sets the fee as $80 plus the amount specified in rules and regulations of the Secretary of State; the form's $90 and $110 totals are the payable amounts.
What it contains	The LLC's name, a list of the members owning at least 5% of the capital with the postal address of each, for domestic Kansas LLCs and series, and the location of the principal office, a physical address and not a post office box. The report is executed by one or more authorized persons under penalty of perjury, and it states information as of the day the report is filed.
Delinquency period	Three months after the due date, during which the report may still be filed. For a for profit LLC: due April 15, delinquent through mid July, then forfeited.

Note what changed to create this page. Before January 1, 2024 the Kansas report was annual and its due date followed the LLC's tax period. The 2024 legislation struck that language and substituted the fixed April 15 parity year rule above. Any guide still tying a Kansas LLC's report to its income tax return deadline is describing repealed law.

Forfeiture, not administrative dissolution

Kansas's word for the lapse is forfeiture, and the distinction is not cosmetic. Section 17-76,139 incorporates sections 17-7509 and 17-7510: failure to file the report and pay the fee within 90 days of the due date works a forfeiture of a domestic LLC's articles of organization, and of a foreign LLC's authority. The Kansas Register's monthly Notices of Business Forfeiture state the ground the same way each time: the entities were forfeited for failure to timely file a biennial information report and pay the information report fee. Failing to maintain an active Kansas resident agent and registered office is the second forfeiture ground the Secretary of State lists. A forfeited LLC's articles are gone in the same practical sense as a dissolved company's, but anyone searching Kansas records or Kansas advice should search for forfeiture and reinstatement, because those are the terms the forms use.

Reinstatement: Form RL, priced in three parts

A forfeited LLC comes back on Form RL, the Certificate of Reinstatement, under section 17-76,146. The price is built from three parts: a $35 filing fee, an $85 penalty, and $110 for each missed information report that has to be made up. One missed report therefore costs $230 all in: $35 plus $85 plus $110. Two missed reports cost $340. The state caps the count at five missed reports, so the largest reinstatement the form prices is $670. One exception narrows the penalty: businesses forfeited only for failure to maintain an active resident agent may ignore the $85 penalty fee, so an agent only forfeiture with no missed reports is the $35 filing fee. Price the reinstatement from the parts that apply to your forfeiture rather than from any single all in figure a guide quotes.

The other standing duty: the resident agent

Kansas's second ongoing record duty is the resident agent and registered office, under sections 17-7925 and 17-7924. The LLC must maintain a resident agent in Kansas, which may be the LLC itself, an individual resident, or an eligible domestic or authorized foreign business entity, at a registered office that is a Kansas street address where the agent may be regularly present, and not a post office box. Keeping that record current is a filing: Form ROA, the Certificate of Amendment for a change of resident agent and or registered office, costs $30 online or $35 by paper, and the form states online processing happens within minutes. Letting the agent lapse is not a paperwork slip; it is one of the two forfeiture grounds above.

Closing a Kansas LLC on purpose

Ending the LLC deliberately takes a Certificate of Cancellation, priced at $30 online or $35 by paper, plus $20 for each series the LLC has; series cannot be filed online, so a series LLC cancels on paper. Section 17-7673 states the entity point plainly: the LLC is a separate legal entity until cancellation of its articles, which is why an LLC that simply stops operating keeps owing biennial reports in its parity years until it cancels or is forfeited. No Kansas Department of Revenue tax clearance is required for the cancellation. File the certificate, wind up, and the report obligation ends with the entity; skip the certificate and the April 15 parity year deadline keeps arriving.
