Arizona Annual Report: LLCs Skip It Entirely

No. Arizona does not require an annual report from LLCs. Not in 2026, not in any year. The Corporation Commission's FAQ answers the question in one line: "No, LLCs are not required to file annual reports." Corporations are the ones on the hook, and 2026 brings one new wrinkle worth knowing about. Here is the whole picture.

Arizona Annual Report Due Dates: None for LLCs

An Arizona LLC has no report deadline because the Arizona LLC Act (A.R.S. Title 29, Chapter 7) never created a periodic report for LLCs, domestic or foreign, standard or professional. No franchise tax either, and no recurring state LLC tax of any kind. Corporations, by contrast, get a due date assigned by the ACC in their anniversary month.

Quick orientation: Arizona entities answer to the Arizona Corporation Commission (https://azcc.gov/corporations), not a Secretary of State. Watch for the ACC's name on anything real.

The Annual Report Fee in Arizona: $45 for Corporations, $0 for LLCs

Nothing recurring hits an LLC at the ACC after formation. For-profit corporations pay $45 each year for the Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure required by A.R.S. § 10-1622; nonprofit corporations pay $10.

What Your LLC Still Has to Keep Up

• A registered agent, always. Arizona statute labels the role "statutory agent," and your LLC must keep one on file with a physical Arizona address at every moment of its existence. Lose the agent and dissolution becomes a real risk.
• Accurate info at the ACC. Changes are filed when they happen, not on a schedule: Form L020 for a new agent or principal address, Form L021 for manager or member address updates.
• Taxes. State and federal obligations run on their own calendars, separate from anything at the Commission.

New for 2026: The Attestation of Existence

The ACC's new filing portal, the Arizona Business Center, went live January 12, 2026, and it brought a dormancy check with it. Each January the Corporations Division flags LLCs with zero filings over the previous two years and sends an electronic notice to the statutory agent or owner. You click a respond button in the portal within 60 days, pay nothing, and you are done. Skip it and the LLC slides to pending inactive status, then toward administrative dissolution. It is not an annual report, and an active company that files anything at all will likely never see the notice.

Corporations: How the Annual Report Filing Works

1. The ACC sends its notice roughly 90 days before the due date it assigns in the corporation's anniversary month.
2. The corporation files its Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure online at https://ecorp.azcc.gov/ or on paper.
3. The fee is $45 for a for-profit, $10 for a nonprofit.
4. The record updates, and the corporation is clear until the next anniversary.

Late Penalties, Corporation Edition

Miss the anniversary due date and the penalty runs $9 per month, about 20 percent monthly under A.R.S. § 10-122. Hit 60 days delinquent and the ACC sends a formal notice; fail to fix it within 60 days of that notice and administrative dissolution follows under A.R.S. § 10-1421.

The One-Time Publication Requirement

Fresh Arizona LLCs do publish once: within 60 days of the ACC approving the Articles of Organization, a notice runs three consecutive times in an approved newspaper in the county of the statutory agent's street address. Maricopa and Pima County agent addresses are exempt, since the ACC posts those notices to its own database. One and done, never annual.
