The number under the number
Reinstatement is the filing you make after the state has already closed your LLC — administrative dissolution, almost always for skipping annual reports or the fees that go with them. So the figure in this table is rarely the whole bill. To come back you generally have to cure what you missed: every lapsed annual report, each with its own fee, plus a late penalty, plus the reinstatement fee itself. The table shows the number the state names for reinstatement. It cannot know how many years you were dark — and that is where most of the real cost lives.
Two states say the quiet part out loud. South Dakota lists reinstatement as “$150 plus delinquent fees,” Virginia as “$100 plus all delinquent annual registration fees.” Every other state works the same way; they just print the filing fee and leave the back-debt off the line.
How to read the fees
The figure on each row is the state reinstatement filing fee, and nothing else. They run from $5 in Iowa to $300 in DC and Nevada, with most landing between about $35 and $150.
A few states charge by method. Indiana is $30 by mail but $20 filed electronically; the table leads with the by-mail figure and notes both, because the cheaper number is the one you only get by filing the state's preferred way. The gap is small, but it is real, and it is exactly what a flat one-number chart flattens away.
When “$0” is the wrong number
California and Arkansas show no Secretary of State reinstatement fee. That is not the same as free. In both, revival doesn't run through the Secretary of State at all — it runs through the tax authority. A California LLC comes back by curing its Franchise Tax Board delinquency and getting a revivor; Arkansas routes it through the franchise-tax side. Read a “$0” off a competitor's chart there and you have mistaken “no filing-office fee” for “no cost.” Those rows are marked as a structural absence of a state filing fee — a sourced no, not a missing value.
Why this column has gaps
Twenty-six of the 51 states publish a reinstatement fee we could confirm against the primary fee schedule. The rest of the column is mostly blank, and the blank is honest. Reinstatement is the filing states post least cleanly: many fold it into a back-filing, set it by rule instead of a printed fee, or split it across agencies — Rhode Island, for one, runs part of it through the Division of Taxation. Where a state doesn't publish a standalone figure, the row says so rather than guess. A blank here is a gap in the published record, not a confirmed $0 — with California and Arkansas above the deliberate exceptions, the real zeros at the filing office. We keep the two apart on purpose.
How these fees are sourced
Every figure is the state's official reinstatement fee, cited to the primary source on its row. Thirty-seven rows are backed by a captured snapshot; fourteen rows carry a source-chain flag (typed_unknown) because the official source URL has expired or could not be reached — those rows show fee values from prior verification pending re-sourcing. States revise fees without notice, so confirm against the live source before you file — and budget for the back reports and penalties, not just the line item, because that is where reinstatement actually gets expensive.

Not legal advice
Whether you can still reinstate, how long the window stays open, and who is liable for what happened while the entity was dissolved are state-specific legal questions. This page is filing-fee reference, not legal advice — consult counsel where the stakes warrant it.

Frequently asked questions
What is administrative dissolution, and how is it different from closing voluntarily?
Administrative dissolution is when the state itself dissolves an entity for non-compliance — usually unfiled annual reports or unpaid fees — rather than the owner choosing to close it. Reinstatement is the process of undoing that and returning to good standing.
Is there always a window to reinstate?
Most states allow reinstatement, but the allowed window and conditions vary — some are open-ended, others expire after a set number of years. The reinstatement_window and reinstatement_trigger columns record what each state publishes.
What does reinstatement cost?
It is typically the reinstatement filing fee plus any back fees or late penalties owed for the missed period. The matrix shows the state filing fee and late penalty; back-owed annual fees depend on how long the entity was delinquent.
