Updated August 12, 2026. Quick answer. To dissolve an LLC in Utah you file the Statement of Dissolution (LLC) — no form number; Division of Corporations & Commercial Code form rev. 08/23. Optional second step: Statement of Termination ends the entity’s existence after winding up., and it can be filed online or on paper. Fee: No charge. Utah requires no tax-clearance certificate to accept the filing. Until that filing is accepted the LLC still legally exists — and whatever Utah charges an LLC each year keeps accruing against it.

| Filing | Statement of Dissolution (LLC) — no form number; Division of Corporations & Commercial Code form rev. 08/23. Optional second step: Statement of Termination ends the entity’s existence after winding up. |
| Fee | No charge |
| How you can file | both — Division’s Domestic LLC page directs filers to file online via the state business registration system (log in with UtahID, ‘File On An Existing Business’); the paper Statement of Dissolution PDF is also accepted by mail/fax per the form’s mailing/faxing instructions (form states it cannot be hand written). |
| Tax clearance | not required |
| Statute | Utah Code §§ 48-3a-701 (events causing dissolution), 48-3a-702 (statement of dissolution; dissolved and wound up per 48-3a-703), 48-3a-703 (winding up), 48-3a-708 (administrative dissolution) |
Verified from the Division’s own fillable PDF (commerce.utah.gov/corporations/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/llcdiss.pdf) and the Division’s Domestic LLC page, which states: ‘When a Statement of Dissolution is filed, it starts a process of winding up the affairs of an entity… When a Statement of Termination is filed, it terminates the existence of the entity.’ Form cites Utah Code Subsection 48-3a-703(3) for who signs when there are no members/managers.
On the fee. Division of Corporations FY2026 Fee Schedule (effective July 1, 2025), read in full: ‘Domestic entity voluntary dissolution/termination — No Charge.’ Optional expedited processing is $75 per filing. Source: commerce.utah.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/currentfees.pdf.
If you would rather have it filed for you
Bizee will prepare and file the dissolution paperwork described above in Utah on your behalf. The state filing fee is separate and you pay it either way. Filing it yourself, by the official route above, stays the cheapest way to close an LLC.
Bizee’s BBB rating, verified directly against BBB’s own listing on September 3, 2026: a C, not accredited, with 83 complaints filed and BBB’s own finding that the business “has failed to resolve underlying cause(s) of a pattern of complaints.” Check BBB’s current listing yourself before you buy. A rating we did not just verify is worse than none.
Bizee does not publish a price for this filing on the page this link opens, so you will have to ask for one. We earn a commission if you buy through this link, between $20 and $175 depending on which service you buy, disclosed here rather than left vague. It does not change the price you pay.

Tax clearance in Utah
No tax-clearance certificate is required to file in Utah. That is not the same as owing nothing — it means the state will accept the filing without a revenue-agency sign-off first.
Negative verified from the Division’s own Domestic LLC dissolution instructions and the Statement of Dissolution form — neither mentions any Tax Commission clearance or certificate as a filing precondition. Utah has no pre-dissolution tax clearance statute for LLCs; tax account closure is handled separately with the State Tax Commission.
Do not just walk away
Closing the business is not closing the entity. Miss the annual report: $10 late fee and ‘delinquent’ status; if the report is not delivered within 60 days after due, the Division may begin administrative dissolution under Utah Code 48-3a-708 — notice in a record, then 60 days to cure before a statement of administrative dissolution is signed. The dissolved LLC continues only to wind up or seek reinstatement ($54, with all back fees/penalties, under 48-3a-709).
Statutory language tracked from 48-3a-708: dissolution grounds include failure to deliver the annual report ‘within 60 days after it is due’; after notice the LLC has 60 days to cure. Utah has no franchise tax, so no tax accrues to the entity itself for merely existing — the exposure is loss of good standing and eventual administrative dissolution. Late fee ($10) and reinstatement fee ($54) from the FY2026 fee schedule.
Closing the tax accounts
File all returns for periods the accounts were open; close sales/withholding and other tax accounts via Taxpayer Access Point (tap.utah.gov) or Form TC-69C, Notice of Change for a Tax Account.
TC-69C (files.tax.utah.gov/tax/forms/current/tc-69c.pdf): entering a close date ‘will close your whole tax account’; ‘You must file all tax returns for periods during which the account(s) was open.’ The form’s note that it cannot be used to ‘close a corporation’ refers to the Commerce dissolution filing, which is separate.
Before you file
- The order the steps go in — internal decision, creditors and distributions, the state filing, the final returns, then the registrations you are still paying for.
- What an LLC costs to keep alive in Utah — the bill that keeps running until this filing lands.
- What dissolution costs in all 51 jurisdictions — the fee, the filing route and the tax-clearance flag, side by side.
- What happens if you simply stop filing — administrative dissolution is the walk-away trap happening to you rather than by you.

Sources and limits
Utah Code §§ 48-3a-701 (events causing dissolution), 48-3a-702 (statement of dissolution; dissolved and wound up per 48-3a-703), 48-3a-703 (winding up), 48-3a-708 (administrative dissolution). Fee, form and procedure read 2026-08-10 from the official source.
Research note. corporations.utah.gov URLs 301-redirect to commerce.utah.gov. Fee confirmed from the Division’s FY2026 fee schedule PDF read in full (all 4 pages). Statute text of 48-3a-702 could not be rendered from le.utah.gov’s HTML viewer (JS-only page); the ‘upon filing of a statement of dissolution, the LLC is dissolved and shall be wound up pursuant to Section 48-3a-703’ language was corroborated via the legislature’s own Part 7 PDF listing and the Division’s form.
Honest gap. This page covers the state filing that ends the entity, its fee and its tax-clearance condition. It does not cover creditor claims against a dissolved LLC, disputes between members, the tax treatment of a final distribution, reinstatement after an administrative dissolution, or withdrawal from any other state you registered in — each of those has its own rules. General information, not legal or tax advice. See methodology and corrections.
If Utah already ended it for you, this is the other direction. Administrative dissolution is not the filing you make on purpose, and in Utah no deadline since the 2024 amendment, but the company’s own name is only guaranteed for five years afterwards. The statute is quoted on reinstating a Utah LLC.
