What you pay, and when
| To form it | $175.00, once. |
| Every year after | $85.00. Due June 1, and the window opens January 1. Form any time in one calendar year and the first one is due by June 1 of the next. Maine says plainly that it does not post reminders — it emails them, from an address it admits often lands in spam — so this is one to put in a calendar yourself. |
| If you miss it | A late filing penalty is added, and the state's own warning is that not paying the penalty leads to administrative dissolution — the company itself, not just the report. |
| Registered agent | Required. You can be your own if you have a street address in Maine and do not mind it being public. |
Do it yourself
You file this directly with the state. There is nobody in the middle who has to be paid to do it, and nothing on this page is a Base888 charge — the fees above are paid to Maine.
