North Dakota annual report: November 15, then winter.
North Dakota gives LLCs one late-autumn deadline: the annual report, fifty dollars, due November 15, placed after harvest and before the holidays, which is precisely where exhausted years lose track of it. Miss the date and the bill doubles to a hundred; let the record sit Not Good Standing for about a year and the state terminates the company involuntarily, with a $135 reinstatement plus dues as the road back. Miss November here and winter follows, administratively.
This year's report, prepared and filed with the Secretary of State, with your standing verified after it posts.
Four facts cover the whole system
A once-a-year confirmation filed with the Secretary of State: addresses, registered agent, and officials refreshed on the record. What we file for you →
November 15 for LLCs, one date a year, at the exhausted end of the working season; corporate cycles run on their own earlier dates. Put it on a watched calendar →
$50 on time. The day after November 15, a $50 penalty doubles it to $100, the sharpest one-day doubling in the region. When we file it for you, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, as a one-time filing or on the automated annual plan, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, so nothing quoted here can go stale.
The doubled bill and Not Good Standing first, in public, and around a year of continued silence the state involuntarily terminates the entity. Reinstatement runs $135 plus every missed report and penalty.

Fifty in November, a hundred in December
The North Dakota LLC annual report is $50, due November 15, doubling to $100 the day after. The record shows Not Good Standing until cured, and about a year of silence brings involuntary termination, with reinstatement at $135 plus everything owed. One autumn date, cheap to keep, and placed exactly where tired years drop things.
Where you stand decides what you do next
File in October, while the season still has momentum: the report is the last deadline of the year and the first thing exhaustion forgets.
$100 filed now closes the year and clears Not Good Standing; every month it waits, the credit checks that matter in this state keep reading the warning.
The road back is priced: $135 plus the missed reports and penalties. Reinstatement as one package restores the record, and we confirm the flip the day it happens.
The crop came in, the report did not
November is when everything else in our year finally ends, so the one state deadline placed there kept losing to exhaustion: two years running we paid double without ever deciding to be late. The third year, a co-op credit check found Not Good Standing before we did. Now the report files itself in October, while the machines are still warm. The state picked a quiet month. We made it quieter.

What is the North Dakota annual report?
A once-a-year filing with the Secretary of State confirming your addresses, registered agent, and officials on the record. We prepare and file it ahead of the date as part of annual report service.
When is the North Dakota annual report due?
November 15 for LLCs, the last state deadline of the working year, landing after harvest and before the holidays; corporate cycles run earlier dates of their own. The placement is the whole hazard, which is why it belongs on a watched calendar set for October.
How much does the North Dakota annual report cost?
$50 by November 15, $100 the day after, the sharpest one-day doubling in the region. When we file it for you, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, as a one-time filing or on the automated annual plan, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, so nothing quoted here can go stale.
What happens if I miss the North Dakota annual report?
The fee doubles immediately and the record shows Not Good Standing, in public, where the state’s lenders and co-ops look first. Around a year of continued silence, the state involuntarily terminates the entity, with reinstatement at $135 plus everything owed as the road back.
Why is the deadline in November?
North Dakota placed its LLC date late in the year, after the season that runs this state’s economy, which reads considerate on paper and lands on exhausted operators in practice. The fix is the same as every placement problem: file in October, while the year still has momentum, which is what we do.
Do foreign-registered entities file a North Dakota annual report too?
Yes, on their own statutory dates at the corresponding fees, with revocation of authority as their version of termination, on top of home-state filings. Our multi-entity dashboard tracks every state you operate in.
Can File.Business file my North Dakota annual report?
Yes. We file the $50 report each October, ahead of the November date and the winter behind it, and verify your standing after it posts, with the state fee, transaction fee, and our service fee itemized up front, one-time or on the automated plan.
