Maine LLC Annual Report 2026: June 1 Due Date, Fee and Penalties
Maine keeps its annual compliance uniform: one report, one statewide deadline. Every LLC files an annual report on Form MLLC-13 with the Secretary of State, and every one of them owes it by June 1. The requirement lives in 31 M.R.S. § 1665.
When the Maine Annual Report Is Due
The deadline is June 1, every year. The filing window opens January 1, so you get five months to take care of it. Nothing in the statute builds in a grace period; June 2 is late.
Maine Annual Report Fee: $85
A domestic LLC pays $85. A foreign LLC registered in Maine pays $150 for the same filing. One quirk filers appreciate: the Maine report does not ask for your FEIN.
How to File Form MLLC-13
Ready to get started?
Get Started- Get the form. MLLC-13 is preprinted by the state from your charter number, or you can skip paper entirely and file through the official Maine Annual Report Online portal.
- Confirm what is on record: the entity name and your registered agent, shown either as a commercial agent's name and CRA public number or a noncommercial agent's name and physical Maine street address.
- Have an authorized person sign. Maine takes the signature seriously; it is made under penalty of false swearing.
- Submit with the $85 fee before June 1. Online filings take a credit card and confirm immediately; paper goes back by mail with payment.
Late Filing: the $50 Penalty and the Road to Dissolution
Miss June 1 and Maine adds a flat $50 penalty on top of the $85 fee. A report that does not conform gets returned, and you have 30 days from notification to fix it without losing your original delivery date (31 M.R.S. § 1667). Keep not filing and the Secretary of State administratively dissolves the LLC after the written notice and cure procedure in § 1591 and § 1667. Coming back is not cheap either: reinstatement runs $150 for each delinquent year, capped at $600 (§ 1680). An LLC that has genuinely stopped doing business in Maine and owes the state nothing can ask for a certificate of excuse from the report requirement under § 1665.
The Other Standing Obligation: Your Registered Agent
The annual report is where the state verifies your agent listing, but the duty to maintain an agent runs year-round. Our registered agent service keeps a compliant listing on your record and reminds you before each June 1.
