New York Biennial Statement: deadline, fees, and what happens if you miss it

When it's due

Every two years, during the calendar month in which the entity was originally formed or qualified.

What it costs

$9 per filing.

If you miss it

The Department of State marks the entity 'past due,' which shows up on good-standing certificates and can hold up financings and closings. New York doesn't administratively dissolve for a missed biennial statement, but lenders and counsel will flag it.

Worth knowing

At $9 every two years, this is the cheapest filing in the country to miss by accident — it's easy to forget precisely because it's biennial.
