Most people who search for an Arizona annual report are LLC owners, and for them the answer is short. Arizona LLCs do not file an annual report. The Corporation Commission, which keeps the records, says so on its FAQ page. Corporations do file one. This page covers both cases. For the office itself, see the Arizona office guide.
If your company is a corporation, the fee is $45 for a for-profit and $10 for a nonprofit. If you are an LLC, your yearly duties are about keeping a statutory agent and a current address on record.
Who files in Arizona
Only corporations file the report. The Commission applies the rule to for-profit and nonprofit corporations. LLCs have nothing to file, so there is no LLC due date and no LLC report fee.
An LLC can still fall out of good standing for other reasons. The Commission says every corporation and LLC must appoint and maintain a statutory agent at all times. An entity without one can be administratively dissolved.

When a corporation's report is due
There is no single Arizona date. Each corporation has its own due date, which depends on the entity and appears on its record. To find yours, open the corporation's record on the Commission's business website.
For example, if your record shows a spring date, you can file through the online system up to 90 days before it.
How to file, step by step
- Open Arizona Business Center, the Commission's online system. It replaced eCorp.
- Find your corporation and check the due date on its record.
- Complete the annual report in the online system.
- Pay the fee: $45 for a for-profit, $10 for a nonprofit.
- Save the confirmation and check that the record updates.
Late reports and penalties
For-profit corporations owe $9 per month starting when the deadline is missed. Nonprofit corporations owe no penalties. The first step is a delinquency notice, and the status changes to Pending Inactive.
About 60 days after the final notice, a corporation that still has not filed is administratively dissolved. A dissolved entity may not conduct business except what is needed to wind up its affairs.
Every status word Arizona uses is explained in our Arizona office guide.
Extensions and reinstatement
A corporation can ask for an extension. When granted, it is valid for 6 months, and the report fee is still due. Do not rely on an extension that has not been granted.
If the dissolution happened within the last 6 years, you can apply for reinstatement. The fee is $100, plus past due fees. After 6 years the business needs a new formation.
How to check that it was filed
Search for the corporation in the Commission's business website and read its status. It should show Active, with no delinquency notice. If you need paper proof, the Commission issues a Certificate of Good Standing, which our good standing guide explains. Our general guide on how to file an annual report compares the states.
Our private filing service can file for you. State fees are separate, and you can file with the Commission yourself.
