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 York’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 York requires one, and how often
New York requires LLCs to file a biennial report every two years (biennially). $9 biennial statement.
When it’s due
The Biennial Statement is due once every two years, filed during the calendar month in which the LLC’s Articles of Organization were originally filed with the Department of State (its anniversary month). (NY Limited Liability Company Law §301(e); NY Dept. of State, Biennial Statements page)
What it costs
$9 biennial statement (source, read 2026-08-06).
What happens if you miss it
There is no dollar late fee. A late LLC is simply marked past due in the Department of State’s records; any Certificate of Status issued for it will show that status, which the Department itself says may prevent the LLC from completing certain business transactions. (NY Dept. of State, Biennial Statements FAQ)
What eventually happens if it stays unfiled: New York does not administratively dissolve or revoke an LLC for failing to file its Biennial Statement; the DOS page describes only the indefinite past-due status as the consequence, with no forfeiture/dissolution timeline. LLC Law §701(a)(5) ties dissolution only to a decree of judicial dissolution under §702, and §702’s judicial-dissolution grounds do not include failure to file a Biennial Statement. (NY Limited Liability Company Law §§301(e), 701(a)(5), 702) “the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under section seven hundred two of this article”
Where to file
File at https://filing.dos.ny.gov/eBiennialWeb/. NY Department of State’s e-Statement Filing Service, used to file the Biennial Statement online for a $9 fee.
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 York for the full cost picture.
