Pennsylvania Annual Report Requirements

Pennsylvania implemented a significant change to its business filing requirements effective January 1, 2025. The state replaced the former 10-year Decennial Report with a new annual report requirement.

Pennsylvania's New Annual Report System

The annual report is a yearly filing that updates the state on your business information. This represents a major shift in Pennsylvania's compliance landscape.

The Pennsylvania Secretary of State charges $7 for this filing, making it one of the most affordable annual report fees in the nation.

Filing Details

Effective date: January 1, 2025

When to file: Annually by September 30

Filing fee: $7 paid to the Pennsylvania Secretary of State

Grace period: Pennsylvania is providing a transition grace period through 2026 with no dissolution for non-filing during this period

What's reported: Current business information including registered agent details, business address, and officer or member information depending on your entity type

Where to file: Through the Pennsylvania Secretary of State website at https://www.pa.gov/agencies/dos/

What This Replaces

Previously, Pennsylvania required:

Decennial Report: A 10-year report that businesses filed once per decade

Certificate of Annual Registration: A $70 filing that applied to certain entities

The new annual report system provides more regular compliance checkpoints while maintaining affordable filing fees.

What Information Gets Filed

Your annual report typically includes:

Business name and entity type
Principal business address
Registered agent name and address
Names and addresses of officers (corporations) or members/managers (LLCs)
Contact information for the business

The specific information requirements may vary based on your entity type and business structure.

Consequences of Missing the Filing

Pennsylvania is implementing this new requirement with a grace period approach. Through 2026, the state will not dissolve businesses for failing to file the annual report.

However, establishing good compliance habits from the beginning is advisable. Once the grace period ends, failing to file your annual report may lead to penalties and administrative dissolution of your business entity.

Operating a dissolved business can create serious complications with banks, contracts, licenses, and the legal protections your entity structure normally provides.

Maintaining Good Standing

Staying current with your annual report is essential for maintaining good standing with Pennsylvania. Along with this filing, you need to keep your registered agent information current and handle any business changes appropriately.

Your registered agent serves as your official point of contact with the state. If the Pennsylvania Secretary of State needs to communicate with your business, they use your registered agent address.

Having professional registered agent service ensures you receive all notices promptly, including reminders about your annual report and other compliance matters.

Transition Period Considerations

Pennsylvania's grace period through 2026 provides businesses time to adapt to this new requirement. However, treating this as a standard annual obligation from the start helps establish proper compliance procedures.

The $7 filing fee makes this one of the most affordable annual report requirements among states with this filing type. The low cost and straightforward filing process support regular compliance.
