Michigan annual report: the real fee, the real deadline, and the letters to ignore
The real Michigan LLC report costs $25 every year and goes to the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), due February 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 Michigan’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 Michigan costs $5 (MCL 450.4207).
What is the Michigan LLC annual report fee?
$25, every year, to the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA).
Is a Michigan “annual report due” letter from a company real?
Only the state sets the Michigan fee and due date. A letter from anyone else asking for more than $25 includes that sender’s own charge.
