West Virginia annual report: June 30, or quadruple it.

West Virginia gives every company half a year: the annual report window runs January 1 through June 30, twenty-five dollars. The morning of July 1 the arithmetic turns hostile, a seventy-five dollar penalty on a twenty-five dollar filing, and continued silence walks the record into administrative dissolution, with a reinstatement bill that grows fifty dollars for every delinquent year. Six months of window, one expensive sunrise.

ACCURACY VERIFIED

This year's report, prepared and filed with the Secretary of State, with your standing verified after it posts.

The report, decoded

Four facts cover the whole system

1 · What it actually is

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 →

2 · When it is due

Any time in the window from January 1 to June 30, every year, for every registered entity at once. Half a year of runway, ending exactly as summer season starts. Put it on a watched calendar →

3 · What it costs

$25 inside the window. From July 1, a $75 penalty attaches, taking the filing to $100, quadruple, overnight. 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.

4 · What happens if you miss it

The quadrupled bill first, then process: continued nonfiling brings administrative dissolution for domestic entities and revocation for foreign ones, with reinstatement costing the application plus every owed report plus $50 per delinquent year.

Half a year of window

Twenty-five in June, one hundred in July

IN GOOD STANDINGThe $25 report is filed inside the January-to-June window and the record shows a company in good order.
WINDOW · JAN-JUNSix months wide, statewide. January says there is plenty of time, and June says nothing at all, because June is busy.
JULY 1 · +$75The window closed and the penalty attached at sunrise: $100 now for the filing that was $25 on Friday. The record shows the slip.
DISSOLUTION TRACKContinued silence and the state acts: dissolution for domestic entities, revocation for foreign. Companies discover this from lenders more often than letters.
REINSTATEDThe road back, priced by the year: the application, every owed report, and $50 per delinquent year. We run the full package, because the meter only stops when everything files.

The West Virginia annual report is $25 inside the six-month window from January 1 to June 30. On July 1 a $75 penalty quadruples the bill, and continued nonfiling ends in dissolution or revocation, with reinstatement costing the application plus owed reports plus $50 for each delinquent year. The window is generous, and the morning after is not.

The deadline is step one

Where you stand decides what you do next

Your window is open

File now, $25, while the month is quiet and the bill is small: January money is a quarter of July money here.

You missed June 30

The $100 total is fixed, but the dissolution track behind it is not: filing this week closes the year and stops the walk. Every season this waits, the reinstatement math grows by fifty dollars.

Your company was dissolved or revoked

The bill is knowable: application, owed reports, $50 per delinquent year. Reinstatement as one package restores the record, and we confirm the flip the day it happens.

The window that felt infinite until July

Six months to file, and they used none of them

The Charleston crew together after the June filing cleared and the season could start clean
January said there was plenty of time, April said the same, and June said nothing because June is when the work is. July 1 said one hundred dollars, please, for the twenty-five dollar report, and it said it three years running before we believed it. Now the report files in January, before the ground thaws, and July is just July. A six-month window is not a deadline in month six. It is a deadline in month one, ignored five times.

When is my West Virginia annual report due?

Any time from January 1 through June 30, $25, one statewide window. On July 1 a $75 penalty attaches automatically, quadrupling the bill overnight, and continued silence risks dissolution. Yours is on my calendar for January, while the window is young and the fee is small.

I missed June 30. Is the $75 negotiable?

No, it attaches by rule the morning the window closes, taking the filing to $100. What filing today still buys is everything else: the dissolution track never starts, and the reinstatement math, $50 per delinquent year, never begins accumulating. I can file it now.

The company I am vetting shows Revoked. What is their road back?

West Virginia prices it transparently: the reinstatement application, every owed annual report, and $50 for each delinquent year. Affordable and knowable, but it takes real days, and until it clears they have no authority here. Make the restored record your precondition; I will confirm when the status flips.

Frequently asked

West Virginia Annual Report questions.

What is the West Virginia 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 on time as part of annual report service.

When is the West Virginia annual report due?

Inside the window from January 1 to June 30, every year, for every registered entity at once. The six-month width invites postponement, and July 1 prices it, which is why the filing belongs on a watched calendar set for January.

How much does the West Virginia annual report cost?

$25 inside the window, $100 after it, because a $75 penalty attaches automatically on July 1. 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 West Virginia deadline?

The $75 penalty quadruples the filing overnight, and continued nonfiling moves the record toward administrative dissolution for domestic entities or revocation for foreign ones. Reinstatement costs the application plus every owed report plus $50 per delinquent year, a meter that only stops when everything files.

Why does the July 1 penalty feel so steep?

Because of the ratio: $75 on a $25 filing is a 300 percent penalty, among the sharpest in the country, and it lands at once rather than accruing. West Virginia buys punctuality with arithmetic. January filing makes the whole question academic.

Do foreign-registered entities file a West Virginia annual report too?

Yes, in the same window at the same fee, with revocation of authority as their July consequence and the same per-year reinstatement math behind it, on top of home-state filings. Our multi-entity dashboard tracks every state you operate in.

Can File.Business file my West Virginia annual report?

Yes. We file the $25 report each January, well ahead of the July arithmetic, 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.
