The 2027 Annual Report window opens January 1, 2027 and closes March 31, 2027.
Updated November 1, 2026. The fee, the deadline and the penalty above are Vermont's own, from the state's published schedule and statute, and the penalty is paid to the state, not to us. Every state's report is listed on the annual report directory.

What the Vermont Form Asks
Vermont takes the Annual Report online at bizfilings.vermont.gov, behind an account login. It is run by the Vermont Secretary of State, the office that keeps the company's record.
The Annual Report confirms what the state has on file for the LLC: the principal office and mailing address, the registered agent and registered office, and the managers or members (some states' screens say governors, officials or principals). Anything that changed since the last filing is updated on it, and an authorized person signs it electronically before the state fee is paid.
Formed this year?
An LLC formed in 2026 owes no Annual Report for 2026; its first is the 2027 report, due March 31, 2027.
Have ready before you start
- The company's exact legal name as Vermont registered it
- Its Vermont file or entity number, from the state's record or the formation approval
- The principal office street address and the mailing address, if different
- The registered agent's name and Vermont street address
- The names and addresses of the managers or members on record
- The name and title of the person signing, and a card for the state fee
Our order form asks for the same items, in the same order the Vermont screens do.

How to File It Yourself
1. Open the Vermont filing site
The Annual Report is filed with the Vermont Secretary of State at bizfilings.vermont.gov. It asks you to sign in or create an account first. Vermont takes it January 1 to March 31.
2. Find your company
Look it up by its Vermont file or entity number, the number on the company's Vermont record, not by name alone. Two companies can have near-identical names, and a report filed under the wrong number files the wrong company's report.
3. Confirm or update the details
The principal office and mailing address, the registered agent and registered office, and the managers or members on record. Anything that changed since the last filing goes in now; a new registered agent is a separate change filing in Vermont.
4. Sign and pay the state
Sign as an authorized person and pay Vermont's fee ($45 for an LLC). Save the confirmation; it is your proof of filing until the state's record shows the report.
Rather skip the state's site? We file it for you, and the state's confirmation comes to your inbox. To file it yourself, start at the Vermont filing site.
| File it yourself | Have it filed | |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Your own login on bizfilings.vermont.gov | Our filer's account; nothing is created in your name |
| Finding the company | You enter the Vermont file or entity number | We look up the record and match it to your order |
| The details | You retype the addresses, the agent and the managers or members on the state's screens | You confirm them once on our form; we check them against the Vermont record before filing |
| Signing | An authorized person signs electronically | You authorize the filing at checkout and name the signer; the state's signature line is completed the way the state allows |
| State fee | Paid to the state by card at the end | Paid to the state on your behalf and itemized on the order review step |
| Timing | Any time the window is open (January 1 to March 31) | Order any time; a report the state is not taking yet is held and filed the day the window opens |
| Confirmation | Shown on screen; save it yourself | The state's confirmation is emailed to you and kept on your order page |
| Registered agent change | A separate change filing with the Vermont Secretary of State | Chosen on the order form; we file the change with the report order |
- Registered agent and registered office
- The person or company at a Vermont street address that receives lawsuits and state notices for the LLC; a post office box does not qualify, and the agent's address is public.
- Principal office and mailing address
- Where the business is run, and the address the state should write to if that differs; both appear on the public record.
- Managers or members
- Who runs the LLC. The Annual Report lists them, usually with a business address for each, and some state screens call them governors, officials or principals.
- Vermont file or entity number
- The number Vermont gave the company when it was formed. It is on the approved formation document and on the state's business search, and it is how the filing finds the right record.
- Good standing, dissolution and reinstatement
- Good standing is the status a company keeps by filing on time. Administrative dissolution (some states say revocation or forfeiture) is what the state does to one that stops filing, and reinstatement is the filing that brings it back, with the missed reports and fees.
What Goes Wrong on the Vermont Annual Report
- Filing an Annual Report for the year the LLC was formed: a company formed in 2026 owes its first in 2027, and the state is not waiting for one before that.
- Filing before the window opens on January 1: Vermont does not take the new report year before then.
- Looking the company up by name instead of its Vermont file or entity number: two companies can carry near-identical names, and the report then updates the wrong record.
- Trying to change the registered agent on the Annual Report: Vermont takes the agent change as its own filing, before or after the report.
- Waiting too long: Vermont allows no late window: the articles of organization terminate when the report is not filed by the due date, and the LLC has to be reinstated.
After you file
bizfilings.vermont.gov shows a confirmation and sends a receipt to the filer's email; keep it with the company's records, because it is the proof of filing until the Vermont Secretary of State posts the Annual Report to the public record. Once posted, the company's status on the Vermont business search stays active, which is what a bank, a lender, a landlord or a licensing board checks before it opens an account, extends credit or renews a license. A certificate of status or good standing, where one of them asks for paper proof, is a separate document the state issues on request. The next thing the Vermont business registry expects is the next Annual Report, a year later; taxes and licenses run on their own calendars with other agencies.
Changing Your Registered Agent
Vermont's Annual Report confirms the registered agent on record but does not replace it. A new agent is its own change-of-agent filing with the Vermont Secretary of State, filed before or after the report.
Registered agent service through America LLC Filing
Our registered agent partner's Vermont address goes on the public record instead of yours, and legal and state mail is scanned and forwarded the same business day. We file Vermont's change-of-agent form for you with the report order. Choose it on the order form.
File my report and switch my agent →How our registered agent service worksVermont Annual Report: Questions
Can I file the Vermont Annual Report online?+
Yes. Vermont takes it online through the Vermont Secretary of State (bizfilings.vermont.gov), after you sign in or create an account. If you would rather not, we file it for you: one short form with your company's details, and we submit it to the state.
When is the Vermont Annual Report due?+
March 31 each year. Vermont takes it January 1 to March 31. The next deadline is March 31, 2027. Order any time: if Vermont is not accepting the report yet, we hold it and file it the day the state opens.
What if I missed the Vermont deadline?+
Vermont adds no late fee. Vermont allows no late window: the articles of organization terminate when the report is not filed by the due date, and the LLC has to be reinstated. We file late reports while the state still takes them; the state's penalty, where there is one, is paid to the state with its fee.
Is the Vermont Annual Report every year?+
Every year. The deadline is March 31, and it does not move with the calendar: a weekend or holiday deadline is still the deadline unless Vermont says otherwise, so file ahead of it.
My LLC was formed this year. Do I file an Annual Report?+
Not this year. An LLC formed in 2026 owes no Annual Report for 2026; its first is the 2027 report, due March 31, 2027. A report filed for the formation year is not required, and the state's system will either refuse it or treat it as next year's.
What do I need to file it?+
The company's exact legal name and its Vermont file or entity number, the principal and mailing address, the registered agent on record, and the managers or members. We ask for the same on our order form, so nothing is missing when we file.
Do I need an account on bizfilings.vermont.gov?+
Yes. The Vermont filing site asks you to sign in or register before it opens the Annual Report When we file for you, our filer's account is used and nothing is created in your name.
Can I change my Vermont registered agent at the same time?+
Yes. Vermont takes the agent change as its own filing, separate from the Annual Report; choose our registered agent service on our order form and we file that change for you with the report order, so our partner's Vermont address replaces yours on the record.
Is America LLC Filing the Vermont state office?+
No. America LLC Filing is a private filing service, not a government agency and not a law firm, and it is not affiliated with Vermont. The state's fee is the same whether you file at bizfilings.vermont.gov yourself or we file for you.
