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

The real North Carolina LLC report costs $200 every year and goes to the North Carolina Secretary of State, 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 North Carolina’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 North Carolina costs $5 (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 55D-30).

What is the North Carolina LLC annual report fee?

$200, every year, to the North Carolina Secretary of State.

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

Only the state sets the North Carolina fee and due date. A letter from anyone else asking for more than $200 includes that sender’s own charge.
