Minnesota LLC Operating Agreement FAQ

Common questions about llc operating agreements under Minnesota law.

Does Minnesota require an LLC operating agreement?

Minnesota's LLC Act (Minn. Stat. § 322C.0105) does not require an operating agreement but allows members to adopt one. Without a written agreement, default statutory provisions govern — which may not align with member intentions for profit distributions, management, voting, or member exits. A written operating agreement is essential.

How much does it cost to form and maintain a Minnesota LLC?

The Minnesota Secretary of State charges $155 online ($135 by mail) to file Articles of Organization. The annual renewal fee is $45, due by December 31. Minnesota has a state income tax (up to 9.85% for individuals) — members pay tax on their pass-through share of LLC income.

What is Minnesota's LLC annual renewal requirement?

All Minnesota LLCs must file an Annual Renewal with the Secretary of State by December 31 of each year and pay the $45 fee. Failure to file results in the LLC being placed in default status. If the LLC remains in default for 60 days after December 31, it may be administratively dissolved.

Can a foreign LLC do business in Minnesota?

Yes. A foreign LLC must file a Certificate of Authority with the MN Secretary of State ($185 fee) before conducting business in Minnesota. It must maintain a registered agent in MN and file annual renewals. Unauthorized practice of business can subject the LLC to civil penalties.
