Plain-spoken Iowa LLC compliance.

Iowa Secretary of State sets the schedule. We handle the paperwork — annual report, certificate of good standing, or dissolution — and confirm it on the public record. Flat fees. No subscriptions. Iowa requires a biennial report filed in odd-numbered years. The report is submitted online through the Secretary of State's Fast Track Filing system.

Iowa questions

The questions Iowa owners actually ask.

Still uncertain? Email us — a real person answers, usually within the business day.

  1. 01

    Q. When is my Iowa annual report due?

    A. April 1 biennially (odd-numbered years for most LLCs). Iowa Secretary of State sets the date, not us — we just file before it.

  2. 02

    Q. What happens if I miss the Iowa deadline?

    A. $30 late fee. Extended non-filing leads to administrative dissolution. The fix is usually simple if you act quickly. We can file a late report the same business day.

  3. 03

    Q. Do I need a registered agent in Iowa?

    A. Yes. Every Iowa LLC must have a registered agent with a physical street address in the state. We don't sell registered agent service — keep the one you have, or ask us for honest recommendations.

  4. 04

    Q. How is Patriot Filings different from the big legal sites?

    A. We charge a flat fee per filing, show the state fee separately on every order, and won't enroll you in a subscription. No upsells. No 'compliance plans.' Just the filing you came for.

  5. 05

    Q. What's the total to file my Iowa annual report?

    A. $175.00 — state fee plus our flat service fee, shown side-by-side on the order page. We don't add convenience fees, processing fees, or anything else after checkout.

  6. 06

    Q. Are you affiliated with the Iowa state government?

    A. No. Patriot Filings is an independent private filing service. We are not a law firm, a government agency, or a political organization. We do not provide legal advice.
