How to Dissolve an LLC in New Jersey

What you need to know about New Jersey LLC dissolution

New Jersey requires tax clearance from the Division of Taxation before dissolution. No fee for LLCs.

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

New Jersey 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 Certificate of Cancellation — submit to the New Jersey 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.
