Updated September 4, 2026. Quick answer: Minnesota requires a annual report; Annual Renewal due by December 31 each year, starting the calendar year after formation.
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 Minnesota’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 Minnesota requires one, and how often
Minnesota requires LLCs to file an annual report every year. $0, annual renewal is free for domestic LLCs.
When it’s due
Annual Renewal due by December 31 each year, starting the calendar year after formation. (Minn. Stat. §322C.0208)
What it costs
$0, annual renewal is free for domestic LLCs.
What happens if you miss it
$0, no fee is required to file an annual renewal. (Minn. Stat. §322C.0208)
What eventually happens if it stays unfiled: Missing the single December 31 deadline triggers automatic administrative termination with no further notice. (Minn. Stat. §322C.0705) “A domestic limited liability company that has not filed a renewal pursuant to this section is administratively terminated.”

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 Minnesota for the full cost picture.
