How reinstatement works in Maryland

  1. Catch up on filings

    Maryland does not accept articles of reinstatement unless all annual reports are filed and unemployment insurance contributions, state and local taxes other than real estate taxes, interest and penalties are paid, whether or not barred by limitations. 3

  2. Tax clearance

    If a Maryland LLC reported tangible personal property, it must submit a tax clearance certificate from the county or city where the property is located. A receipt is not accepted. 2

  3. File the application

    Maryland uses the Articles or Certificate of Reinstatement. It can be filed online through Maryland Business Express, by mail, or by hand-delivery to drop boxes in Baltimore. 2

  4. Pay the state fee

    Maryland charges a $100.00 filing fee for standard processing of the reinstatement form, or $150 for expedited processing. 2

  5. Check the name

    Maryland's articles of reinstatement must give the name the LLC will use after reinstatement, and that name has to comply with the Maryland rules on limited liability company names. 4

What reinstatement does

Maryland reinstates the right to do business and to use the name as of the date of forfeiture when the LLC pays what is due or files the annual report due within 60 days after the forfeiture proclamation. 5
