LLCs and protected series

Each domestic and registered foreign LLC, and each protected series, pays $50 (§ 13.1-1062). Paying after the last day of the month adds $25 (§ 13.1-1064). The SCC does not accept payment before it assesses the fee about two months ahead, and online payments must cover the full balance.

From assessment to cancellation

Two months before the due date the SCC mails the assessment to your registered agent. On the due date, an unpaid balance picks up the penalty. An LLC is canceled automatically on the last day of the third month after the due date (§ 13.1-1050.2); a corporation is terminated on the last day of the fourth month (§ 13.1-752). The calculator shows both dates for your entity.

Lowering a corporation's fee

A Virginia corporation can amend its articles to reduce authorized shares, but the SCC says the amendment must be filed at least two months before the next assessment, because a Virginia corporation's assessed fee cannot be adjusted afterward. A corporation paying the $850 cap with only a few thousand shares issued can save $800 a year by reducing to 5,000.

Why you cannot pay early

The SCC sends its assessment to your registered agent about two months before the due date, and the fee cannot be paid before the assessment exists. If your agent's address is stale, the notice may never reach you, and a late payment brings the $25 LLC penalty. Online payments must be in full; a partial payment by mail is applied to the oldest balance first.
