Updated September 4, 2026. Quick answer: Michigan requires a annual report; Annual Statement due not later than February 15 each year; LLCs formed/qualified after September 30 skip the immediately-following Feb 15 filing.
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 Michigan’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 Michigan requires one, and how often
Michigan requires LLCs to file an annual report every year. $25 annual statement, due February 15.
When it’s due
Annual Statement due not later than February 15 each year; LLCs formed/qualified after September 30 skip the immediately-following Feb 15 filing. (MCL 450.4207) michigan.gov LARA page returned 403 to automated retrieval; confirmed from a search engine’s copy of that page, and the MCL citation was cross-confirmed at legislature.mi.gov.
What it costs
$25 annual statement, due February 15.
What happens if you miss it
UNVERIFIED from primary source (LARA pages and statute text both blocked automated fetch this session); a commonly-repeated $50 figure cites the wrong statute (Business Corporation Act, not the LLC Act) on at least one secondary source, flagged as unreliable, not reported as fact.
What eventually happens if it stays unfiled: LLC does not automatically dissolve on a fixed timeline; it loses ‘good standing by operation of law’ after failing to file for 2 years (a status change, not automatic dissolution), restorable via a Certificate of Restoration plus back statements/fees. (MCL 450.4207/450.4207a)
Where to file
File at https://mibusinessregistry.lara.state.mi.us/. MiBusiness Registry Portal (replaced corpfileonline June 2025; paper no longer accepted).
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 Michigan for the full cost picture.
