How to Dissolve an LLC in Maryland

What you need to know about Maryland LLC dissolution

Maryland LLCs file Articles of Cancellation with no fee.

Maryland LLC dissolution is handled by the Maryland Secretary of State. The official form is called the Articles of Cancellation, and it must be signed by an authorized member, manager, or officer of the LLC.

Maryland dissolution process

1. Member or manager approval — per your operating agreement, get the required approval to dissolve.
2. Wind up affairs — collect receivables, pay outstanding debts, distribute remaining assets to members.
3. File the Articles of Cancellation — submit to the Maryland Secretary of State along with the applicable filing fee.
4. File final federal and state tax returns — marked as "final return."
5. Cancel licenses, permits, and registrations — local, state, and any other jurisdictions.
