How you pay
Wyoming LLC Annual Report License Tax: $60 Minimum or $0.0002 of Assets
The license tax is set on the capital, property and assets your company has located and employed in Wyoming, not on profit or revenue. The Secretary of State’s fee schedule lists no other annual fees for an LLC, so this tax is the whole state cost of a Wyoming LLC renewal. Up to $300,000 it stays at the $60 minimum; above that, each $100,000 adds $20, with no cap.
Use total assets from the balance sheet. Loans and mortgages do not reduce the figure.
Use the county assessor's value, not the purchase price or book value.
A Wyoming LLC whose assets are all in other states pays the $60 minimum.
“What will my annual license tax be if I have $1,210,000 in assets located and employed in Wyoming? The tax is $242.”Wyoming Secretary of State, Business FAQ
The asset worksheet stays confidential; only the tax paid is public. Figures come from the fiscal year that ended before you sign the report.
When Is the Wyoming Annual Report Due?
The deadline is the 1st of the anniversary month: a company formed on May 15 files by May 1 of each following year, starting the year after formation; one formed in another state counts from the month it registered in Wyoming. The Wyoming Secretary of State accepts the report up to 120 days early.
Every registered entity, domestic or foreign, files annual reports, and filing this one on Wyobiz is how you renew a Wyoming LLC each year. Title 8 of the Wyoming Statutes lists the legal holidays but moves no deadline that lands on one, and the Secretary of State has published no weekend rule, so a 1st landing on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday is safest met the business day before.
| Entity | Due | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| LLC, profit corporation, LP, registered LLP | 1st day of the anniversary month | $60 or $0.0002 of assets |
| Nonprofit corporation | 1st day of the anniversary month | $25 annual report fee |
| Statutory foundation | 1st day of the anniversary month | $100 |
| Statutory trust | January 2 (W.S. 17‑23‑117) | $100, $200 after Feb 1 |
Reminder emails go out 60, 30 and 10 days ahead, but only to a company whose current email address the Business Division has on file: send it to SOS_AnnualReports@wyo.gov.
One Filing ID Opens the Annual Report Wizard
The Secretary of State’s Annual Report Wizard needs no account. The Business Division sends no invoice for the annual report: the only payment goes through the wizard, or by mail with the printed report.
Filing requirements: Filing ID and Wyoming assets
The Filing ID looks like
2000-000123456; a company that does not have it finds it with the Wyoming business name search. Corporations also list their officers and directors. Wyoming law asks an LLC for its principal office address and Wyoming assets, not member or manager names.
What the Secretary of State website asks for, on wyobiz.wyo.gov. Tap to enlarge. Enter the Filing ID in the Annual Report Wizard
Open the Annual Report Wizard on wyobiz.wyo.gov. It asks for the financial information needed to compute the license tax, and it computes the final figure. Only an "Active" company can use it; a dissolved one goes through reinstatement instead.
Step 1 of the wizard: the Filing ID. Tap to enlarge. Pay by card, or print and mail at no extra cost
To file online, pay with Visa or Mastercard; the payment processor adds a 2.4% convenience fee (minimum $1) that is not refunded. Annual reports filed online each get a unique number, the proof of filing. Over $500 of tax, online filing is not allowed: print the report at the wizard's confirmation step (no blank PDF form exists), sign it and mail it with payment.

After filing, a corporation updates its officers or directors with the Change of Officers/Directors form; for any other change, the Business Division asks to be contacted at Business@wyo.gov.
Late Wyoming Annual Report: Notice, Dissolution, Two Years to Reinstate
Wyoming charges no late fee for filing an annual report late (statutory trusts excepted). The risk is losing the company: after a notice, it is administratively dissolved, and reinstatement is only possible for two years.
- Due date1st of the anniversary month
- DelinquentOnce the due date has passed
- NoticeThe state writes to the last known address
- DissolvedAbout 60 days later if nothing is filed
- 2 years laterAfter dissolution: last chance to reinstate
Reinstating an LLC dissolved for the annual report. It takes effect as if it had never been dissolved.
When the LLC also had no Wyoming registered agent. Corporations: $250; nonprofits: $150.
Wyobiz takes a reinstatement online only when unfiled annual reports are the company’s sole delinquency; any other ground means the mail-in forms. The Secretary of State confirms the exact back taxes at reinstatement. Two years after the dissolution, Wyoming law allows no reinstatement.
