In Short: Utah LLC Annual Renewal
Utah’s yearly LLC filing is the annual report, which the Division of Corporations and Commercial Code also calls the renewal. It costs $18 and is due by the last day of the LLC’s anniversary month.
- Who files: every Utah LLC and every foreign LLC registered in Utah.
- Due date: the last day of the anniversary month, the month the LLC was formed or registered, every year.
- Fee: $18.
- Late fee: $10.
- If you never file: the Division can dissolve the LLC. Reinstatement costs $54 plus $18 for each missed year plus a $10 delinquency fee.
Utah keeps its annual renewal cheap at $18, but the deadline moves with each LLC. The due date is tied to the month the LLC was formed, and the Division sends its reminder postcard to the registered agent, not to the owner.
This guide covers who files, how to work out your due date, the fee, what the renewal asks for, how to file step by step, and how to fix a delinquent or expired LLC.

Who Must File a Utah LLC Annual Renewal?
Every LLC formed in Utah and every foreign LLC registered to do business in Utah files the renewal. Utah Code section 16-1a-212 requires each domestic filing entity and registered foreign entity to file an annual report with the Division.
When Is the Utah Annual Renewal Due?
The renewal is due every year by the last day of the LLC’s anniversary month. For a Utah LLC, that is the month its formation took effect. For a foreign LLC, it is the month its registration to do business in Utah took effect. The renewal can be filed up to 60 days before it is due.
The first renewal is due one year after formation. An LLC formed on March 10, 2026 files its first renewal by March 31, 2027, and every year after that by March 31.
The October 2026 law change
Utah recodified its business entity laws effective October 1, 2026. The LLC Act moved from Title 48 to Title 16, and the annual report rule is now section 16-1a-212. The rule now sets the deadline as the last day of the anniversary month, instead of any day during that month.
How Much Does the Utah LLC Annual Renewal Cost?
The Division’s current fee schedule lists the annual renewal for a domestic or foreign LLC at $18. That figure includes a $5 surcharge for the state’s single sign-on portal. Changes to the business address, purpose, registered agent or principals made during an online renewal cost nothing extra. Expedited handling is $75 per filing, and all fees are non-refundable.
The $10 late fee
A renewal filed after the due date carries a $10 late renewal fee on top of the $18.
What Information Does the Utah Annual Renewal Ask For?
The online renewal asks for:
- The LLC’s name or entity number.
- The registered agent’s name and Utah address.
- The principal office street address.
- The names and addresses of the LLC’s principals.
- Confirmation of each statement on the signature page, with the signer’s name and title.
- Card payment at checkout.
If nothing has changed, choose “Annual Report without changes”. If any detail changed, choose “Annual Report with changes” and update it in the same filing.
How to File the Utah LLC Annual Renewal: Step by Step
- Sign in with your UtahID. Open the Business Registration System and sign in.
- Find your LLC. Search by business name or entity number.
- Open Renewals. Choose “Annual Report with changes” or “Annual Report without changes”.
- Review the details. Confirm the registered agent, principal office and principals.
- Sign and pay $18. Add the $10 late fee if the due date has passed.
- Save the confirmation. The Division processes renewals in 7 to 10 business days, and a filing counts as received only once it is paid.
What Happens If You Miss the Utah Deadline?
A late LLC moves from Current to Delinquent status. A delinquent LLC fixes its status by renewing online and paying the $10 late fee. The Division mails a delinquency postcard to the registered agent, then an expiration notice to the registered agent, the principal business address and one principal.
Under Utah Code Title 16, Chapter 1a, Part 6, the Division can start administrative dissolution when the annual report is not delivered within 60 days after it is due. The LLC then has 60 days after the notice is served to fix the problem. After that, the Division dissolves the LLC and its status shows as Expired. An expired LLC can only wind up its affairs or apply for reinstatement, and it cannot order a Certificate of Existence.
A Utah LLC reinstates online in the Business Registration System. The fee is $54, plus $18 for each year the renewal was missed, plus a $10 delinquency fee. The LLC must also be current on taxes owed to the Utah State Tax Commission. Utah holds an expired LLC’s name for five years. Foreign LLCs cannot reinstate: they register again as a new entity for $59.
Utah Annual Renewal Tips for Non-Resident Owners
Write down your anniversary month the day the LLC is formed, because the deadline is different for every LLC. Utah mails its reminder to the registered agent, so make sure your agent forwards state mail to you. File in the 60 days before the due date to stay clear of the $10 late fee and the dissolution clock.
Keep Your Utah LLC in Good Standing
Filing the annual renewal on time is what keeps your LLC listed as active with the state. Banks, payment processors and new partners ask for proof of that status, and the document that shows it is a Utah certificate of good standing. For the full picture of what the state charges each year, see our breakdown of Utah LLC costs, and if you have not formed the company yet, start with our guide on how to start an LLC in Utah.
Most missed filings trace back to one problem: the state’s reminder went to an old address. A registered agent service that scans and forwards state mail closes that gap. If a deadline has already passed, our guide on what happens when you miss an annual report deadline walks through the fix, and our LLC annual report guide for every state covers the rules in other states where you are registered.
