| Annual report | Nebraska LLCs and foreign LLCs file a biennial report in odd-numbered years. The report is due between January 1 and April 1 of the odd-numbered year after the LLC was formed or authorized, and every second year after that; the Secretary of State lists it as delinquent June 16. An LLC whose report is not filed by the delinquency date is administratively dissolved (or, for a foreign LLC, has its authority revoked). The Secretary of State fee schedule read does not list a separate fee for a standard LLC biennial report. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-192(1) sets the fee for "all filings" under the LLC Act at thirty dollars in writing and twenty-five dollars electronically, except for the filings it lists separately. Reinstatement is $30, and reinstatement more than five years after administrative dissolution is $500. |
| Publication requirement | Yes. Nebraska law requires notice of an LLC's organization to be published for three successive weeks in a legal newspaper of general circulation near the LLC's designated office; the notice must show the information required in the certificate of organization. A brief summary of any amendment, merger, conversion or domestication must be published the same way. Proof of publication is filed with the Secretary of State; the fee schedule lists an Affidavit/Proof of Publication filing at $30 in office or $25 online. If the notice was not given but is later published for the required time and proof is filed, the LLC's acts before and after publication are valid. |
