Arizona lesson 6 of 6
Stay compliant in Arizona
Once the Articles of Organization are filed and, if required, publication is complete, Arizona's ongoing paperwork for an LLC is genuinely light.
No annual report
Arizona is one of the few states that does not require LLCs to file an annual report or pay a recurring state fee to stay in good standing with the Corporation Commission. There is nothing to file each year on that front, though it is still worth checking the Commission's public record periodically to confirm your details are accurate.
What still needs upkeep
Keep the statutory agent's information current with the Commission whenever it changes, since a lapsed or resigned agent puts the LLC out of compliance. Renew a TPT licence and file TPT returns on the schedule the Department of Revenue assigns if you hold one. Renew any city or industry-specific licences separately, since Arizona has no statewide licence to consolidate them.
- Ongoing: statutory agent kept accurate with the Commission
- Ongoing: TPT returns filed on your assigned schedule if you hold a licence
- Ongoing: any city or professional licences renewed on their own timetables
Key takeaways
- Arizona LLCs file no annual report and pay no recurring state fee to the Commission.
- Keeping the statutory agent current is the main ongoing filing obligation.
- TPT and any city or industry licences still need their own renewals.
Frequently asked questions
Does Arizona ever require anything similar to an annual report?
No, not for LLCs. Corporations in Arizona do file an annual report, but the Arizona LLC statute does not impose that requirement on limited liability companies.
