If you’d rather not track this yourself
Bizee’s registered-agent and compliance service includes a due-date reminder and a filing option for New Jersey’s report. State filing fees are separate.
Bizee’s BBB rating, verified directly against BBB’s own listing on September 2, 2026: a C, not accredited. BBB’s own finding: the business “has failed to resolve underlying cause(s) of a pattern of complaints”, with 83 complaints filed. Most complaints we found described difficulty canceling recurring services and strict refund policies, worth knowing before you hand over a card for the year-two renewal. Check BBB’s current listing yourself before you buy; a rating we didn’t just verify is worse than none.

Whether New Jersey requires one, and how often
New Jersey requires LLCs to file an annual report every year. $75 annually.
When it’s due
The annual report is due every year on the last day of the month in which the business entity was originally formed/authorized in New Jersey. (State of New Jersey, Business.NJ.gov (Division of Revenue & Enterprise Services))
What it costs
$75 annually (source, read 2026-08-06).
What happens if you miss it
New Jersey’s own site describes only a fee amount ($75) and a longer-term consequence (revocation), not an incremental per-year late fee/penalty distinct from the standard $75 filing fee. (State of New Jersey, Business.NJ.gov)
What eventually happens if it stays unfiled: Businesses that fail to file annual reports for two consecutive years may have their charter voided (domestic) or their authority to do business in New Jersey revoked (foreign). (NJ Dept. of the Treasury, Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services) “Businesses that fail to file annual reports for two consecutive years may have their charter voided or authority to do business in New Jersey revoked.”
Where to file
File at https://www.njportal.com/DOR/annualreports/. The State of New Jersey’s Online Annual Report filing system, run by the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services (the only accepted filing channel; no mail-in option).
What this page does not answer
State income tax, franchise tax and federal (IRS) filing obligations are separate from this report and follow their own deadlines and rules. This page does not source those. We have the state periodic-report answer at primary and nothing else.
The annual/biennial report fee above is a recurring cost of keeping the LLC active, separate from what it cost to form. See what an LLC costs in New Jersey for the full cost picture.
