Utah LLC Annual Renewal: $18, Due the Last Day of the Anniversary Month

Every Utah LLC files an Annual Renewal, Utah's annual report, with the Division of Corporations: $18, due on the last day of the anniversary month, with filing opening 60 days early and a $10 late fee. Missing it by enough, or going 60 days without a registered agent, starts administrative dissolution.

The Annual Renewal, in one table

Item	Utah rule
What it is	An annual report, which Utah calls the Annual Renewal, under Utah Code 16-1a-212. Every domestic filing entity and registered foreign entity must file one.
Fee	$18 for a domestic or foreign LLC, on section 3 of the FY2026 fee schedule. The $18 includes a $5 surcharge for the State of Utah's single sign-on portal, so it is $13 plus $5. The Division's Annual Report and Renewal form prints the same $18.
When	Due on the last day of the anniversary month, under 16-1a-212(5)(a). The anniversary month is the calendar month in which formation became effective, or for a foreign entity, the month its authority took effect. Filing may begin up to 60 days before that last day.
What it reports	The entity name, jurisdiction, the registered agent information required by 16-1a-404(1), the principal office street address, and governing person information. A differing agent name or address in the report is itself treated as a statement of change, under 16-1a-212(9).
Late fee	$10, on section 3 of the fee schedule and printed on the renewal form. A late LLC renewal is therefore $18 plus $10, or $28, before any reinstatement posture.
Agent changes with it	Free. The Division's renewal guidance states that when renewing on the internet you can make changes to the business for no additional charge, including the business address, purpose, registered agent, and principals. A standalone change at any other time costs $17.

Note what the renewal is not. It asks for no revenue and no income. Like other states' annual reports, it is a records filing that keeps the public file current and the entity in good standing, priced here at $18.

What happens if you miss it: administrative dissolution

Utah Code 16-1a-602 gives the Division three grounds that matter to an ordinary LLC. It may proceed if the entity fails to pay a fee, tax, interest, or penalty the Division requires within six months after payment is required; fails to deliver an annual report not later than 60 days after it is due; or goes 60 consecutive days without a registered agent in Utah. The procedure is in 16-1a-603. The Division serves notice of its determination, and the entity has 60 days after service to cure each condition or show it does not exist. If it does not, the Division signs a statement of administrative dissolution. A dissolved entity continues to exist but may conduct only activities necessary to wind up and liquidate, or to apply for reinstatement, and dissolution does not terminate the registered agent's authority.

Reinstatement: $54 plus the missed years, with no deadline in current law

Section 4 of the FY2026 fee schedule prices a domestic LLC reinstatement at $54, and its note adds an $18 charge for each year the renewal or annual report filing was missed, in addition to a $10 delinquency fee. So reinstatement is $54 plus $18 per missed renewal year plus $10, and the entity must also pay all fees, taxes, interest, and penalties due at dissolution and that would have been due while dissolved. The window is the part other guides get wrong. Under Utah Code 16-1a-604, an administratively dissolved domestic filing entity may apply at any time after the effective date of dissolution under its same name if the name is available. There is no 2-year deadline in current law. One time limit does survive: a dissolved LLC retains its name and assumed name for five years after dissolution takes effect, and reinstatement under the same name requires the name to still be available. On reinstatement, the reinstatement relates back to the dissolution's effective date and the LLC resumes as if dissolution had not occurred.

The registered agent duty behind the renewal

The renewal and the agent record travel together in Utah. Under 16-1a-402, every domestic filing entity and registered foreign entity shall designate and maintain a registered agent in this state, and a D.B.A. must do the same. A represented entity changes its agent by delivering a signed statement of change stating the new agent's name and what is being amended, under 16-1a-407, for $17 standalone or free with the annual renewal. A registered agent may resign by filing a statement of resignation, effective at 12:01 a.m. on the 31st day after filing, or earlier if the entity designates a new agent, under 16-1a-410. Sixty consecutive days without an agent is itself a ground for administrative dissolution, which is why the free renewal-time change matters: fix the record in the renewal window and the risk never starts.

Closing a Utah LLC on purpose

Utah LLCs do not file a document titled Articles of Dissolution. In winding up, a dissolved LLC may deliver to the Division for filing a Statement of Dissolution under Utah Code 16-20-703, stating the LLC's name and that it is dissolved, and later a statement of termination stating the name and that the LLC is terminated. The fee is No Charge: section 1 of the FY2026 fee schedule lists domestic entity voluntary dissolution and termination as No Charge, and section 2 lists foreign entity withdrawal as No Charge. Watch for this: no Tax Commission clearance letter is a stated precondition to the statement of dissolution. The Tax Commission's Tax Clearance page frames clearance around corporations and states that even domestic corporations do not need a Tax Clearance Certificate to dissolve, and nothing in 16-20-703's contents for the statement requires one. LLC tax accounts still must be filed out and closed with the Tax Commission, but clearance is not a precondition on the Division filing. Our dissolution guide covers winding down before you file.
