Maryland annual report: the real fee, the real deadline, and the letters to ignore

The real Maryland LLC report costs $300 every year and goes to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT), due April 15. 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 Maryland’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 Maryland costs $25 (Md. Code, Corps. & Ass'ns § 1-101(x)).

What is the Maryland LLC annual report fee?

$300, every year, to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT).

Is a Maryland “annual report due” letter from a company real?

Only the state sets the Maryland fee and due date. A letter from anyone else asking for more than $300 includes that sender’s own charge.
