North Dakota is deceptively tricky: there’s no single filing season. Corporations, LLCs, and nonprofits each have a different due date, and the late fees climb the longer you wait. If you manage a mix of entity types, you’re juggling three calendars at once.
File Now Book a DemoThe North Dakota annual report is a yearly filing with the Secretary of State (through the FirstStop portal) that keeps your entity active and its records current — principal address, registered agent, and officers, directors, or members. Every for-profit and nonprofit corporation, LLC, LP, LLP, and registered foreign entity must file.

There is no single statewide date — it’s set by entity type:
Late fees escalate (an LLC jumps from $50 to $100 the day after November 15; a corporation climbs from $25 to $45 to $85), so a missed date gets expensive fast.
It depends on entity type: for-profit corporations file by August 1, LLCs by November 15, and nonprofits by February 1.
$50 for LLCs, $25 for for-profit corporations, and $10 for nonprofits. Late filings carry escalating penalties (LLCs jump to $100; corporations to $45 then $85).
An escalating late fee applies immediately, your entity loses good standing, and if the report stays unfiled for about a year the state involuntarily dissolves the entity or revokes a foreign entity’s authority.
