Ohio is one of the few states that does not require an annual report for LLCs. There is no annual filing fee and no franchise tax. However, businesses must still maintain a registered agent and comply with other state requirements.

Registered Agent Requirement

Ohio requires every business entity formed or qualified in the state to maintain a registered agent with a physical address in Ohio.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

While Ohio does not require annual reports, failure to maintain a registered agent or comply with other state requirements can still result in administrative action. Contact us for specific information.
