What your Mississippi LLC owes the state every year to stay in good standing — and what happens when the report doesn't get filed.
Mississippi requires every LLC to file a annual report with the Mississippi Secretary of State. The report confirms basic information — LLC name, principal office address, registered agent, members or managers — and pays a no-fee state fee.
Filing is online through the Mississippi Secretary of State's portal at sos.ms.gov. It typically takes less than ten minutes and is processed the same day.
Mississippi's annual report is free when filed on time. It is due between January 1 and April 15 each year through the Secretary of State's online portal. Miss the deadline and the LLC is administratively dissolved — reinstatement costs $50.
Mississippi doesn't forgive late reports indefinitely. The typical sequence when a report isn't filed on time:
The Mississippi Secretary of State assesses a state-imposed late fee, typically within 30 days of the missed deadline.
Your LLC's public status changes from "active" to "not in good standing" or the Mississippi equivalent. Banks, vendors, and counterparties can see this.
If the lapse continues (usually 60–180 days, varies by state), the Mississippi Secretary of State administratively dissolves the LLC. Your liability shield can be pierced for activities during the dissolved period.
To bring the LLC back, you pay the missed report fee, the late fee, and a Mississippi reinstatement fee. The LLC comes back but the gap in good standing remains on the public record.
Every customer gets annual compliance reminders 60, 30, and 7 days before the Mississippi report due date. Each reminder includes a one-click link to file through the Mississippi Secretary of State's portal. We don't auto-file on your behalf and we don't store payment information between years — you retain control — but you will not miss the deadline because you forgot.
If you want the filing done for you, we offer a separate Mississippi annual report filing service billed separately from registered agent renewal. Ask your formation specialist about it when the reminder lands.
Report fees don't change often, but when they do, we update the reminder copy. Mississippi's report is filed every year. The registered agent must remain current. If you move, or your registered agent changes, file the change promptly — don't wait for the annual report to fold it in.
