Vermont Annual Report Deadlines for LLCs in 2026
Vermont does require LLC annual reports, but the timing is not the same as the fixed spring deadlines many owners expect.
The Vermont LLC statute says each domestic and foreign limited liability company authorized to transact business in the state must file an annual report with the Secretary of State. The report must be delivered within three months after the expiration of the company’s fiscal year.
That means the first Vermont question in 2026 is not “What is the statewide due date?” It is:
What is the LLC’s fiscal year?
The Vermont annual-report deadline rule
Vermont’s annual-report timing is driven by the company’s fiscal year.
Under 11 V.S.A. § 4033:
- every domestic and authorized foreign LLC must file an annual report; and
- the annual report is due within three months after the expiration of the company’s fiscal year.
For many small LLCs using a calendar fiscal year ending December 31, that means the practical filing deadline lands at the end of March 2026.
But a company using a different fiscal year should not assume March applies automatically. The statute makes the deadline entity-specific.
Vermont’s statute says the annual-report information must be current when signed, and the state’s broader business-services system is built around maintaining accurate public records.
That means an annual report filed with stale designated-office or agent information can keep the filing cycle moving while still leaving the company with a weak official record.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is a Vermont LLC annual report due in 2026?
Vermont law says the annual report must be delivered within three months after the expiration of the company’s fiscal year.
Does every Vermont LLC use the same date?
No. The filing deadline depends on the LLC’s fiscal year, so businesses should confirm their own timing rather than assume one universal date.
What information must be in the Vermont annual report?
Vermont says the report includes the company name and jurisdiction, the designated office address, and the name, email, and address of the agent for service of process.
Why should I review my registered agent during annual-report season?
Because Vermont requires the agent-for-service-of-process information to appear in the annual report, making this the natural time to confirm the official notice-handling setup is still accurate.
How do Vermont LLCs file the annual report?
Vermont’s Business Services Division uses an online filing system for starting and maintaining businesses, including annual-report filing.
