Iowa annual report: the real fee, the real deadline, and the letters to ignore
The real Iowa LLC report costs $30 every two years and goes to the Iowa Secretary of State, due April 1 of odd-numbered years. Any letter from another sender that asks for more than that is adding its own charge.

Having it done for you
Mainstay Filing prepares and files the annual report as part of $199 a year, with Iowa’s fee passed through at cost. The agent-only plan ($149) does not include it. Your agent itself is a separate matter: changing it in Iowa costs no state fee (Iowa Code § 489.115).
What is the Iowa LLC annual report fee?
$30, every two years, to the Iowa Secretary of State.
Is a Iowa “annual report due” letter from a company real?
Only the state sets the Iowa fee and due date. A letter from anyone else asking for more than $30 includes that sender’s own charge.
