Michigan's Annual Report Is Called the Annual Statement

Ask for an "annual report" form in Michigan and you may get a gentle correction: for LLCs, the yearly filing is officially the Annual Statement, Form CSCL/CD-2700. Different label, same purpose. Once a year your company confirms its information with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), pays the fee, and keeps its good standing.

Key Details at a Glance

Detail	Information
Filing name	Annual Statement (Form CSCL/CD-2700)
Due date	February 15 each year
State fee	$25 for standard LLCs
Late penalty	$10 per month, up to $50
Filed with	LARA Corporations Division
Filing method	Online only, via the MiBusiness Registry Portal

Two quirks to flag. Michigan handles business filings through LARA rather than a Secretary of State, which trips up owners coming from other states. And since June 2025 these filings are online only; the MiBusiness Registry Portal replaced the old COFS system, and mailed paper statements are no longer accepted.

When the Michigan Annual Report Is Due: February 15

Every LLC hits the same fixed deadline, February 15, no matter when the company was formed. LARA mails a pre-populated statement to your registered agent's office about 90 days out, so expect it around mid-November.

Formed your LLC late in the year? If the company was organized after September 30, the state skips you for the February 15 that follows. Your first statement lands the year after.

Running a corporation instead? Different form, different date: profit corporations file Form CSCL/CD-2500 by May 15, and nonprofits file Form CSCL/CD-2000 by October 1.

The Michigan Annual Report Fee Is $25

Standard LLCs pay a flat $25. The statement only confirms or updates three things: the company name, the registered office address, and the registered agent (Michigan statutes say resident agent). No revenue numbers, no financials, no member percentages.

PLLCs pay more: professional LLCs file Form CSCL/CD-2701 for $75 and have to list members or managers with proof of professional licensing.

How to File Your Michigan Annual Statement Online

1. Set up (or log into) a MiLogin for Business account and open the MiBusiness Registry Portal.
2. Pull up your LLC's record and start the pending Annual Statement.
3. Check the pre-filled details and correct the registered office or agent listing if either changed during the year.
4. Pay $25 and submit before the February 15 cutoff.

LARA's own guide to LLC annual filings covers the requirements in the state's words.

Late Fees: $10 a Month Until It Hits $50

Miss February 15 and the meter starts: $10 for every month (or piece of a month) you stay delinquent, with the penalty capped at $50. Worst case is $75 all in: the $25 fee plus the $50 penalty ceiling.

The bigger risk is letting it slide. Skip two consecutive years and the LLC falls out of good standing; LARA can administratively dissolve it under Chapter 9 of the LLC Act, and your business name becomes free for someone else to take. The road back is a Certificate of Restoration (roughly $50) plus every missed statement at $25 each.
