Pennsylvania’s New Annual Report Requirement for LLCs: What It Means for Your Business



Published on by

If you run a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in Pennsylvania, there’s an important change coming your way. Starting in 2025, the state now requires all LLCs to file an Annual Report.

I know—another thing to add to your already full plate as a business owner. But don’t worry. This new requirement is simple, inexpensive, and with the right reminders, completely manageable. Let’s walk through what it means for you.

What Exactly Is the Annual Report?

The Annual Report is Pennsylvania’s way of keeping business information up to date. Think of it like a yearly “check-in” where you confirm details such as:

  • Your LLC’s name and business address
  • The name and address of one member or manager
  • Your registered office or commercial registered agent

It doesn’t involve financial information or tax details—just the basics that keep your business records current with the state.

When Do You Need to File?

For LLCs, the Annual Report is due every September 30th, starting in 2025.

Different entities have different due dates, but for LLC owners, September 30 is the date to circle on your calendar each year.

How Much Does It Cost?

The filing fee is only $7. Compared to other states (where fees can run into the hundreds), Pennsylvania has kept this very affordable.

What Happens If You Forget?

Life gets busy, and it’s easy to let something like this slip. But missing the deadline can have consequences. If your Annual Report isn’t filed, the state could eventually administratively dissolve your LLC—meaning you lose your good standing and the protections that come with being an LLC. Reinstating later can be stressful and cost more than just filing on time.

Filing Is Simple

You’ll be able to file your Annual Report online or by mail. The online option is quick and gives you instant confirmation, which brings peace of mind.

Why This Matters for You

If you’re like most business owners, you started your LLC to protect yourself and your business. Filing this report is a small but important step in keeping that protection in place.

Here’s what I recommend:

  • Mark your calendar now for September 30, 2025.
  • Set a yearly reminder—just like you would for renewing a license or insurance policy.
  • Reach out for help if you’re unsure or overwhelmed.

Final Thoughts

This new requirement may feel like one more thing to track, but it’s really about safeguarding your LLC and keeping your business in good standing. With a little planning, it doesn’t have to cause stress.
