How to Dissolve an LLC in South Dakota

What you need to know about South Dakota LLC dissolution

South Dakota charges no fee for LLC dissolution.

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

South Dakota 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 Termination — submit to the South Dakota 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.
