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

The real South Dakota LLC report costs $55 every year and goes to the South Dakota Secretary of State, due Due during the entity's anniversary month each year. 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 South Dakota’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 South Dakota costs $10 (SDCL 59-11-6).

What is the South Dakota LLC annual report fee?

$55, every year, to the South Dakota Secretary of State.

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

Only the state sets the South Dakota fee and due date. A letter from anyone else asking for more than $55 includes that sender’s own charge.
