Who has to file the New York Biennial Statement?
LLCs
Domestic and foreign LLCs file a Biennial Statement every two years under LLC Law § 301(e).
Corporations
Domestic and foreign business corporations file one every two years under Business Corporation Law § 408. Corporate franchise tax is a separate obligation with the tax department, and it carries its own, more serious, consequence.
It is the only recurring filing New York asks of an LLC with the Department of State, and it is easy to forget precisely because it comes round only every other year.
When is it due?
The filing period is the calendar month in which the original Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Organization or Application for Authority was filed, every two years. Entities formed in an even year and an odd year fall on different cycles, so a portfolio can have statements due in any month of either year.
Where is it filed?
Statements are filed with the New York Department of State, Division of Corporations. Most corporations and LLCs can file online through the e-Statement Filing Service, which is available at any hour.
What happens if the New York Biennial Statement is late?
There is no administrative dissolution of a New York LLC for a missed statement. Instead the Department of State’s records show the entity as past due, and any Certificate of Status or status letter says so, which the Department warns may prevent it from completing certain business transactions. Business corporations face a separate, tax-based risk: two years of unfiled franchise tax reports can end in dissolution by proclamation.

How does LLCity file the New York Biennial Statement?
We file it for you, entity by entity, and keep the next date on your schedule. State fees are confirmed with you before anything is filed.
We list every New York entity you hold with its original filing month and whether its statement falls in an even or odd year.
We confirm the service-of-process address and principal office with you before the month arrives.
We file each statement with the Department of State in its month and send you the filed copy.
If an entity is already past due, we file the outstanding statement so the next Certificate of Status comes back clean.
Several New York entities?
Past due status costs nothing until a lender, buyer or counterparty orders a Certificate of Status. With several New York entities, that is when a missed statement usually surfaces, which is why we file on the schedule rather than on demand.
What else recurs in New York?
Every recurring New York filing on our compliance calendar, labelled by the entity it belongs to. Fees are set by the state and confirmed with you before anything is filed.
