How to Dissolve an LLC in Washington

What you need to know about Washington LLC dissolution

Washington charges no fee for LLC dissolution.

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

Washington 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 Dissolution — submit to the Washington 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.
