A resident agent is an individual or business entity designated to receive legal documents, service of process, and official state correspondence on behalf of your LLC, corporation, or other business entity. Maryland law generally expects every registered business to maintain a resident agent with a physical address in the state.
The State Department of Assessments and Taxation requires a resident agent so there's a reliable point of contact for legal notices, compliance reminders, and official documents. If your business is sued or the state needs to reach you, they send documents to your resident agent. Without one, your entity may fall out of good standing.
Individuals must be 18 or older and Maryland residents. Business entities must be authorized in Maryland. Maryland does not allow an entity to serve as its own resident agent. You'll need to designate an individual or a separate registered entity.
You'll receive service of process, state compliance notices, tax correspondence, annual report reminders, and official mail from the State Department of Assessments and Taxation. We scan each document the same day it arrives and upload it to your secure portal with an email notification.
No. Maryland law does not allow entities to serve as their own resident agent. You'll need to designate an individual who is 18 or older and a Maryland resident, or use a business entity authorized in the state. Many business owners choose a professional service for privacy and reliability.
File a resident agent change form with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation and pay the $25 filing fee. Once the state processes your form, your new agent becomes the official point of contact. We provide the paperwork and instructions.
Maryland requires an annual Personal Property Tax Return, which serves as the annual report. It's due April 15 each year with a $300 filing fee. This is filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT), not the Secretary of State. The report updates your entity's information and tax status.
The State Department of Assessments and Taxation charges $300 for the annual Personal Property Tax Return. This is separate from our resident agent service fee. We send reminders before the April 15 deadline so you don't miss the filing window.
Maryland handles business filings through the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT), not the Secretary of State. SDAT oversees LLC and corporation registrations, resident agent records, and annual reports. You can find more information at dat.maryland.gov.

The state may impose late fees or penalties, or administratively dissolve your entity. Maryland's annual Personal Property Tax Return is due April 15. The state sends notices before the deadline, but it's your responsibility to file on time. We send compliance reminders to help you stay on track.
The State Department of Assessments and Taxation charges $100 for LLC formation by mail or $150 online through Maryland Business Express. This is separate from our resident agent service. We don't handle formation filings, but we're happy to serve as your resident agent once your entity is formed.
