South Dakota 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. South Dakota is one of the cheaper states for ongoing compliance. Filings are accepted exclusively online.
State fees go to South Dakota; the service fee goes to us. Itemized on every order.
Stay in good standing — we prepare and file your annual South Dakota LLC renewal so the state never marks you delinquent.
We obtain a state-issued Certificate of Good Standing (Compliance or Fact) for your South Dakota LLC — accepted by banks, landlords, and licensing boards.
Officially close your South Dakota LLC — we prepare Articles of Dissolution, file with the state, and confirm your termination on the public record.

Q. When is my South Dakota annual report due?
A. First day of your anniversary month. South Dakota Secretary of State sets the date, not us — we just file before it.
Q. What happens if I miss the South Dakota deadline?
A. $50 late fee. Extended delinquency leads to administrative dissolution. The fix is usually simple if you act quickly. We can file a late report the same business day.
Q. Do I need a registered agent in South Dakota?
A. Yes. Every South Dakota 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.
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.
Q. What's the total to file my South Dakota 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.
Q. Are you affiliated with the South Dakota 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.
Five-minute form. Itemized receipt. Confirmation when the South Dakota Secretary of State accepts it. If we miss your deadline, you get a refund.
