Dissolve an LLC in Michigan: ten dollars, filed where everything files.
The paperwork of ending a Michigan company is small: the certificate of dissolution (form 730), $10, filed with the LARA. Michigan endings go through LARA like everything else, and cost less than lunch. The wind-down around the filing, the vote, the creditors, the final returns, is where endings succeed or fail, and it runs in order. Here is the whole sequence, with nothing left billing you afterward.
The certificate prepared and filed with the Secretary of State, with the wind-down sequenced so nothing keeps billing you afterward.
Four facts cover the whole system
The certificate of dissolution (form 730), filed with the LARA for $10. It ends the company’s existence on the record; the wind-down around it is what ends its obligations. We prepare and file it →
Michigan keeps the ending where everything else lives, LARA, and prices it at ten dollars: Form 730, the Certificate of Dissolution, no tax clearance required. The cheap, simple exit is deliberate; the obligations that need closing, the Treasury accounts, the final returns, the February statements that kept the record alive, are the real work around it.
The members authorize dissolution the way the operating agreement says, creditors get settled, assets distribute, and the final returns go in, each marked final so the accounts actually close. Michigan adds no tax-clearance step for LLCs, but skipping the final returns leaves accounts generating questions for a company that no longer exists.
The state charges $10 for the certificate of dissolution (form 730). When we handle it, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, one-time, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, with the wind-down checklist and the final-return guidance built into the filing.

Five steps, and nothing bills you after
Michigan’s exit runs in sequence: authorization, settlement, final returns, then the certificate of dissolution (form 730) for $10 with the LARA. Done in order, nothing bills you afterward, and the record shows a company that ended on purpose.
Where you stand decides what you do next
Run the sequence, not just the filing: the wind-down checklist puts debts, taxes, and accounts in order, and we prepare and file the dissolution when the company is actually ready to end.
Then the February statements lapsed and the company slid to not-in-good-standing and eventually toward automatic dissolution, LARA’s version, which closes no Treasury accounts and files no finals. The $10 Form 730 after a real wind-down is the version where nothing stays open.
The vote comes first and the operating agreement governs it: who can call the question, what majority carries, who signs. If nothing was ever written, the ending inherits the same defaults as everything else, settle the terms before the filing, not after.
Every filing lived in one folder, the ending finally joined them
The Grand Rapids company kept immaculate LARA records, every statement, every amendment, filed and scanned. The Form 730 was the folder’s final document: ten dollars, one page, and the file that had tracked eleven years of existence got its ending. A company’s file should close the way it was kept, deliberately.

Does Michigan require tax clearance to dissolve an LLC?
No: Michigan requires no tax clearance for this dissolution, Form 730 and $10 at LARA end the entity, with final Treasury returns closing the tax accounts on your side. Withholding and sales accounts deserve explicit closure, they do not infer endings from silence.
What happens if I never dissolve my Michigan LLC?
The annual statements lapse, two unfiled years bring not-in-good-standing, and LARA’s machinery eventually ends the registration without ending anything else, the Treasury accounts, the obligations, the name in the record all linger. Michigan’s deliberate exit costs ten dollars and actually finishes.
What has to happen before the papers are filed?
Authorization first, the members vote per the operating agreement. Then settlement: creditors paid or provided for, contracts closed, assets distributed. Then the final tax returns, marked final. The dissolution filing is the last domino, not the first; filed early, it ends a company that still owes its wind-down.
What should I do after the dissolution is filed?
Close the bank account, file the final federal return with the box marked final, cancel licenses and registrations that keep renewing, and keep the company records, banks, buyers, and tax authorities ask dissolved companies questions for years, and the file is what answers them.
