Wyoming LLC Annual Report: Filing, Fee, and Deadline
By {AUTHOR_OPS_NAME}, Director of Filing Operations | Published May 15, 2026 | Updated May 15, 2026
The annual report is the only recurring filing obligation for a Wyoming LLC at the state level. At $60, it is one of the lowest annual fees of any US state. However, missing the deadline can result in penalties and ultimately administrative dissolution. This guide covers everything you need to know about the Wyoming annual report: what it is, what it contains, when it is due, how to file, and what happens if you miss the deadline. For a broader overview of Wyoming LLC requirements, see the complete Wyoming LLC guide.
What Is the Wyoming Annual Report?
The Wyoming annual report is a mandatory filing required by Wyoming Statute § 17-29-209for all domestic and foreign LLCs registered in Wyoming. The annual report serves as the state’s mechanism for verifying that the LLC remains active, confirming its registered agent and principal office information, and assessing the annual fee based on Wyoming-located assets. Every Wyoming LLC must file an annual report regardless of whether it conducts business, generates revenue, or has employees. The obligation begins in the calendar year following the year of formation and continues every year thereafter until the LLC is formally dissolved. The annual report is a relatively simple filing that takes most LLC owners less than 10 minutes to complete online. It does not require financial statements, tax returns, or detailed business disclosures. The simplicity and low cost of the annual report is one of the reasons Wyoming is considered a low-maintenance state for LLC operations.
What the Annual Report Contains
The Wyoming annual report is a straightforward filing that requires minimal disclosure. The required information includes: the LLC name exactly as it appears in the state records, the principal office address (which can be outside Wyoming), the name and Wyoming physical address of the registered agent, and a declaration of the total value of assets located in Wyoming. The annual report notably does not require disclosure of members, managers, officers, or any beneficial owners. This is consistent with Wyoming’s privacy protections for LLC members under § 17-29-201. The report does not require revenue figures, profit and loss statements, or any financial disclosures beyond the Wyoming asset declaration. For LLCs that do not maintain physical assets in Wyoming (which includes the majority of LLCs formed through Cowboy State Filings), the asset declaration is typically $0, resulting in the minimum $60 fee. The report also confirms the registered agent’s willingness to continue serving, so any registered agent changes should be filed before the annual report.
Annual Report Fee: $60 Paid to Wyoming Secretary of State
The annual report fee is $60 for LLCs reporting less than $300,000 in Wyoming-located assets. This applies to the vast majority of LLCs formed through Cowboy State Filings. For LLCs with Wyoming assets exceeding $300,000, the fee is calculated at two-tenths of a mill ($0.0002) per dollar of Wyoming assets, with a $60 minimum. For example, an LLC with $1,000,000 in Wyoming assets would owe $200. Wyoming’s $60 annual fee compares favorably to every other popular LLC formation state. Delaware charges a $300 annual franchise tax. Nevada charges a $200 business license fee plus $150 for the annual list of managers. California charges an $800 minimum franchise tax. Even states with no annual report requirement (like New Mexico) often impose other ongoing fees or taxes that exceed Wyoming’s $60. Combined with the $100 registered agent renewal, the total annual recurring cost for a Wyoming LLC is $160, among the lowest in the nation.
Due Date: Anniversary Month of Formation Each Year
The Wyoming annual report is due on the first day of the anniversary month of the LLC’s formation. This is specified by the Wyoming Secretary of State’s office and differs from states that use a calendar-year deadline. For example, an LLC formed on March 15, 2026, would owe its first annual report by March 1, 2027, and each March 1 thereafter. An LLC formed on October 7 would owe its annual report by October 1 of each year. The first annual report is not due in the year of formation; it begins in the following year. Late filing incurs a $50 penalty assessed by the Wyoming Secretary of State. The penalty is added to the base fee, so a late filing costs $110 instead of $60. If the LLC fails to file, the Secretary of State sends a notice to the registered agent and the LLC’s last known address. The LLC has until the end of the month to file before additional consequences begin. Cowboy State Filings sends reminders 30 days before the due date to all active registered agent clients to prevent missed deadlines.
How to File: Online at sos.wyo.gov
The Wyoming annual report is filed online through the Wyoming Secretary of State’s website at sos.wyo.gov. The online filing system is available 24/7 and provides immediate confirmation of filing. To file, navigate to the Business Center section, search for your LLC by name or filing ID, select the annual report option, verify or update the registered agent and principal office information, enter the Wyoming asset value, and submit payment by credit card. The entire process takes less than 10 minutes for most filers. Paper filing is also available by downloading the annual report form from the Secretary of State website and mailing it with a check payable to the Wyoming Secretary of State. However, online filing is faster and provides immediate confirmation. Cowboy State Filings can file the annual report on behalf of clients who prefer not to handle it themselves. CSF charges no additional fee for annual report filing assistance for active registered agent clients. The filing confirmation serves as proof of good standing and can be used to demonstrate compliance to banks and business partners.
What Happens If You Don’t File
Failure to file the Wyoming annual report triggers a sequence of consequences. In the first year of non-filing, the LLC incurs a $50 late penalty and loses its good standing status with the Wyoming Secretary of State. Loss of good standing means the LLC cannot obtain a Certificate of Good Standing, which may be required for bank account maintenance, foreign qualification in other states, contract execution, and business license applications. After two consecutive years of non-filing, the Wyoming Secretary of State may administratively dissolve the LLC under Wyoming Statute § 17-29-709. Administrative dissolution means the LLC ceases to exist as a legal entity in Wyoming. The entity’s name may become available for registration by another party. Contracts, bank accounts, and ongoing obligations may be affected. Reinstatement after administrative dissolution is possible under § 17-29-714 by filing for reinstatement, paying all past-due annual reports and penalties, and confirming a registered agent. Reinstatement restores the LLC retroactively, but the process involves additional fees and potential complications with banks and counterparties.
CSF Annual Report Reminders
Cowboy State Filings sends annual report reminders 30 days before the due date for all active registered agent clients. The reminder includes the specific filing deadline based on your LLC’s formation date, the required fee amount, step-by-step instructions for filing online at sos.wyo.gov, and the option to have CSF file on your behalf at no additional charge. This proactive reminder system prevents the most common cause of Wyoming LLC problems: missed annual report deadlines leading to loss of good standing or administrative dissolution. Many LLC owners, especially those who formed their LLC and moved on to other priorities, forget about the annual report until they need a Certificate of Good Standing and discover their LLC is delinquent. CSF’s reminder system eliminates this risk. The $100 annual registered agent fee includes this reminder service along with all standard registered agent functions: receiving service of process, accepting official state correspondence, and maintaining a physical Wyoming address for the LLC. For questions about Series LLC annual reports, note that the master LLC files a single annual report covering all series.
