Updated September 5, 2026. Quick answer: Utah requires a annual report; Annual report due during the anniversary month of the LLC’s formation (certificate-of-organization effective date). NOTE: this Code section is scheduled for repeal on 10/1/2026 (about one month from today) as part of a business-entity-code recodification. The successor section, Utah Code § 16-1a-212 (effective 10/1/2026), does not simply renumber the rule: it tightens the due date to specifically the last day of the anniversary month (rather than any day within that month), and allows filing up to 60 days early.
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 Utah’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 Utah requires one, and how often
Utah requires LLCs to file an annual report every year. $18.
When it’s due
Annual report due during the anniversary month of the LLC’s formation (certificate-of-organization effective date). NOTE: this Code section is scheduled for repeal on 10/1/2026 (about one month from today) as part of a business-entity-code recodification. The successor section, Utah Code § 16-1a-212 (effective 10/1/2026), does not simply renumber the rule: it tightens the due date to specifically the last day of the anniversary month (rather than any day within that month), and allows filing up to 60 days early. (Utah Code § 48-3a-212(3)(a) (current version; repealed eff. 10/1/2026))
What it costs
$18 (source, read 2026-08-06).
What happens if you miss it
A flat $10.00 late fee is added to the standard $18.00 LLC renewal fee once the report is filed after its due date. (Utah Division of Corporations & Commercial Code official Annual Report/Renewal form and fee table)
What eventually happens if it stays unfiled: The Division may start administrative dissolution once the annual report (or a fee/tax/penalty) is more than 60 days past due, or the LLC lacks a registered agent for 60 consecutive days; after notice, the LLC has a further 60 days to cure before dissolution is actually entered. (Utah Code § 48-3a-708 (current version; repealed eff. 10/1/2026)) “The division may commence a proceeding … to dissolve a limited liability company administratively if the limited liability company does not: (a) pay any fee, tax, interest, or penalty required to be paid to the division not later than 60 days after it is due; (b) deliver an annual report to the division not later than 60 days after it is due; or (c) have a registered agent in this state for 60 consecutive days. … If a limited liability company, not later than 60 days after service of the notice …, does not cure or demonstrate to the satisfaction of the division the nonexistence of each ground …, the division shall administratively dissolve the limited liability company.”
Where to file
File at https://businessregistration.utah.gov. Utah’s OneStop online business-registration/renewal portal, as named in the Division of Corporations’ own official renewal-form instructions. Could not load this login page directly in this session, because it blocks automated access, so the URL is sourced from the Division’s own PDF rather than from the login page itself.
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 Utah for the full cost picture.
