How to withdraw a foreign LLC from Georgia

An LLC formed elsewhere that stops doing business in Georgia files a withdrawal with the state (Georgia charges no fee). That ends its Georgia registration, yearly reports and fees; the LLC itself keeps existing at home. As of October 2026.

The 5 steps to withdraw from Georgia

Step 3 is the state filing; the rest stops the bills that keep coming after you leave.

  1. 1

    Withdraw, or dissolve?

    Where people get stuck

    Withdraw when the LLC was formed in another state and only stops operating in Georgia. If Georgia is the LLC's home state, dissolve it in Georgia instead.

  2. 2

    Bring Georgia filings and taxes current

    Before you file

    Many states will not accept a withdrawal while reports or state taxes are overdue, and some ask for a tax clearance. The Georgia annual registration is due April 1 every year, with a state fee of $60. Check the Georgia deadline.

  3. 3

    File the withdrawal with the state

    We file this one

    You file it with Georgia's business filing office; Georgia charges no fee (Georgia fee schedule). The current form is on Georgia's official site. We file it for $120 plus the state fee.

  4. 4

    Close Georgia tax accounts and licenses

    Easy to forget

    Cancel the Georgia sales tax permit, payroll accounts and local licenses so returns stop coming due. Georgia sales tax permit.

  5. 5

    End the Georgia registered agent after the state confirms

    Last step

    Keep the agent until the withdrawal is filed, so legal papers served in the meantime still reach you.
