Articles Or Certificate Of Reinstatement (LLC LLP Or LP)

ARTICLES OR CERTIFICATE OF REINSTATEMENT. This form is used to restore the status of a Limited Liability Company (LLC), Limited Partnership (LP), or Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) that has been forfeited or canceled in the state of Maryland. Filing this form with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) allows the entity to regain its ability to conduct business legally within the state. The reinstatement process involves several steps to ensure compliance with Maryland law. First, the entity must determine whether it has any overdue annual reports or personal property tax returns. If there are outstanding filings, they must be submitted, and any applicable taxes must be paid. In cases where the entity has previously reported owning tangible personal property, it must obtain a tax clearance certificate from the appropriate county or city before reinstatement can proceed. Once all outstanding obligations are satisfied, the entity must complete the Articles or Certificate of Reinstatement, providing updated information, including the entity’s name, principal office address, and the name and address of its resident agent in Maryland. The completed form, along with the required filing fee, must then be submitted to SDAT. The standard processing fee is $100, with an expedited processing option available for $150 (7-10 business days). Same-day reinstatement services are also available for an additional fee. The form can be filed online through Maryland Business Express, mailed to SDAT’s Charter Division, or hand-delivered to designated drop boxes. Reinstating a forfeited entity is crucial for maintaining legal operation within Maryland. Failure to complete this process prevents the entity from conducting business, entering into contracts, or maintaining its legal protections. To avoid future forfeiture, businesses must ensure timely filing of annual reports and compliance with tax obligations. www.FormsWorkflow.com
