What is the LLC Filing Deadline in New York?
New York LLCs must file a Biennial Statement every two years during the calendar month in which the Articles of Organization were filed, per N.Y. Ltd. Liab. Co. Law § 102. The first Biennial Statement is due during the calendar month two years after formation. The $9.00 filing fee applies. Missing the deadline causes past-due status but does not impose a separate late fee or automatic dissolution.
Initial Formation Filing
There is no statutory deadline to file Articles of Organization with the New York Department of State. You may file immediately upon formation or at any time thereafter. Online filing is available at https://filing.dos.ny.gov/.
Biennial Statement Deadline
After formation, your LLC must file a Biennial Statement every two years during the same calendar month as your original filing. If you filed Articles of Organization in March 2024, your first Biennial Statement is due in March 2026, then March 2028, and so on.
There is no grace period. Filing after your deadline month results in past-due status recorded in Department records. This designation appears on status certificates and can interfere with opening bank accounts, obtaining loans, or conducting certain business transactions.
Filing Requirements
Submit your Biennial Statement online at https://filing.dos.ny.gov/ or request a paper form from the Statement Unit. The filing fee is $9.00. Include the address to which the Secretary of State should mail service of process.
If You Miss the Deadline
New York does not charge a separate late penalty fee, but your LLC will be marked past due. File the overdue Biennial Statement immediately to restore compliance status. Contact the New York Department of State at (518) 473-2492 for assistance.
