What this survey covers
An administrative dissolution or termination changes a nonprofit corporation's state corporate status after a statutory compliance failure. The table follows the process from the agency's ground and notice through restoration of status. It does not address charitable registration or federal tax exemption.
Why the columns differ
Florida distinguishes its listed grounds and uses both a notice-and-cure rule and a separate procedure section for the resulting dissolution (Fla. Stat. §§ 617.1420–.1421). Texas has both the filing-entity termination route and a nonprofit report forfeiture followed by possible termination (Tex. Bus. Orgs. Code §§ 11.251–.253; §§ 22.357–.365). Virginia's official nonprofit code displays current provisions alongside replacements effective January 1, 2027 (Va. Code § 13.1-914). North Carolina's enacted annual-report delinquency ground applies to reports due on or after January 1, 2027 (2026 N.C. Sess. Laws 52 § 2). Michigan instead dissolves a domestic nonprofit automatically after an annual report or fee default runs for the statutory period, then permits renewal by catching up on reports, fees, and penalties (MCL §§ 450.2922, .2925).
How to read the table
Read the ground and notice columns together because the cure period can depend on the failure. Then check the effective-status and post-dissolution columns before relying on the reinstatement requirements. An entity's prior name may also affect its path back to active status.

| State | Entity and agency | Report, fee, or tax failure | Agent and other grounds | Notice and cure | When status changes | Powers afterward | Reinstatement window | Filings, payments, and name | Effect and review |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alabama verified 2026-09-28 | Chapter 3A governs current domestic nonprofits, including predecessors since Jan. 1, 2025; its Article 11 describes authorized-filing and court dissolution (§§ 10A-3A-14.01(b), -11.05, -11.20). |
No general administrative dissolution ground for a missed report, chapter fee, or tax in current Chapter 3A's dissolution provisions; common Article 9 expressly excludes nonprofits (§§ 10A-3A-11.05, -11.20; 10A-1-9.01). |
Registered agent and office remain required; agent failure permits alternate service, while current Chapter 3A places listed involuntary grounds in court (§§ 10A-1-5.31, -5.35; 10A-3A-11.20). |
No general agency notice/cure clock for administrative dissolution in the current nonprofit dissolution scheme; earlier commenced proceedings remain subject to the savings rule (§§ 10A-3A-11.05, -11.20, -14.03(a)(4)). |
No administrative status-change event specified; authorized dissolution takes effect with its filed certificate, while judicial dissolution follows a court decree (§§ 10A-3A-11.05(b), -11.23(a)). |
For a corporation dissolved through a current route, existence continues for winding up and agent authority survives; no separate administrative-dissolution effect stated (§ 10A-3A-11.07(a), (c)(6)). |
No general administrative reinstatement route; § 10A-3A-11.06(a) permits revocation of an authorized dissolution within 120 days, a different procedure. |
No administrative-reinstatement application in current Chapter 3A; authorized-dissolution revocation uses its own certificate and approval process (§ 10A-3A-11.06(b)–(c)). |
No administrative reinstatement effect or denial appeal specified in current Chapter 3A; pre-repeal proceedings can finish under saved law (§§ 10A-3A-11.06, -14.03(a)(4)). |
| Arizona verified 2026-09-28 | Arizona Nonprofit Corporation Act, Title 10 chapters 24–40; Corporation Commission administers domestic nonprofit dissolution and reinstatement (A.R.S. §§ 10-11420–11422). |
Unpaid Title 10 chs. 24–40 fees or penalties 60 days after due, or annual report not delivered within 60 days after due (§ 10-11420(1)–(2)). |
No statutory agent or known Arizona business place; failure to report changes, agent resignation, or discontinued business place within 60 days; uncured publication proof, expired duration, specified incorporation disclosure or bankruptcy-statement failures, material misrepresentation, missing post-dissolution notice, or missing disclosure/interrogatory response. An annual-report-exempt corporation still owes an annual disclosure certificate; missing it for 90 days triggers dissolution initiation (§§ 10-11420(3)–(11), 10-11622(F)). |
Commission serves written determination; cure or demonstrate each ground absent within 60 days after service is perfected. Service may be mailed to agent (or business place if none), electronic, or by civil-process rule; publication-proof ground has its own prior notice and 60-day proof window (§§ 10-11421(A)–(B), 10-3504(D), 10-11420(5)). |
If uncured after notice, Commission signs certificate with grounds and effective date, files it, and serves a copy (§ 10-11421(B)). |
Corporate existence continues for winding up and claimant notice, with statutory-agent authority preserved; § 10-11405 supplies winding-up powers. Corporate name is released for use if no reinstatement application within six months (§ 10-11421(C)–(D)). |
Administratively dissolved corporation may apply within six years; the statute excepts a domestic water/wastewater utility whose assets were transferred under the specified process (§ 10-11422(A)). |
Application states corporate name, dissolution date, and that grounds were absent or cured; $25 reinstatement filing fee plus other due fees/penalties. If name was adopted by another corporation or as a trade name, attach name-change articles; amendment fee is $25 (§§ 10-11422(A), (D), 10-3122(A)(8), (13)). |
Commission cancels dissolution and issues, files and serves reinstatement certificate after finding application correct. Reinstatement relates back to dissolution; corporation resumes activity as if never dissolved (§ 10-11422(B)–(C)). |
| Arkansas verified 2026-09-29 | Secretary of State; § 4-33-131 disclosure-status route reaches domestic nonprofits, including older corporations; §§ 4-33-1420–1423 administrative route governs 1993 Act corporations (§§ 4-33-131, 4-33-1701). |
Annual disclosure due August 1; nonfiling may bring “not current” proclamation by January 31. Under 1993 Act, tax/penalty 60-day default or disclosure 60-day default can prompt dissolution (§§ 4-33-131, 4-33-1420(1),(5)). |
1993 Act: no registered agent for 120 days, 120-day failure to notify of agent change/resignation, or expiration of stated duration (§ 4-33-1420(2)–(4)). |
Not-current route: January 31 proclamation for prior-year disclosure delinquency (§ 4-33-131(b)). Administrative route: written notice of grounds and at least 60 days after perfected service to correct or contest (§ 4-33-1421(a)–(b)). |
Not-current proclamation changes status; after five years without reinstatement, statutory dissolution and name availability. Administrative dissolution requires signed, filed certificate stating effective date (§§ 4-33-131(b),(d), 4-33-1421(b)). |
After administrative dissolution, corporate existence continues for winding up and claimant notice; registered-agent authority continues. Not-current reinstatement restores rights, powers, and property (§§ 4-33-1421(c)–(d), 4-33-131(c)). |
Not-current: file satisfactory disclosures for previous four delinquent years within five years after proclamation. Administrative dissolution: apply within two years after certificate’s effective date (§§ 4-33-131(c)–(d), 4-33-1422(a)). |
Administrative application states name/date, eliminated grounds and compliant name; include Finance and Administration tax-paid affidavit/certificate and $50 filing fee. Not-current route requires up to four past disclosures (§§ 4-33-1422(a), 4-33-122(a), 4-33-131(c)). |
Not-current restoration is retroactive to proclamation; administrative reinstatement relates back to dissolution. Administrative denial must state reasons; 90-day court appeal clock runs from perfected service (§§ 4-33-131(c)(3), 4-33-1422(c), 4-33-1423). |
| California verified 2026-09-28 | Cal. Corp. Code § 5008.9 covers domestic public-benefit, mutual-benefit, and religious nonprofits; Franchise Tax Board initiates and Secretary of State posts notice and certifies dissolution. |
FTB suspension or forfeiture for at least 48 continuous months triggers § 5008.9. Public-benefit statement delinquency separately leads to notice, then certification and penalty after 60 days (§§ 6210, 6810). |
Agent identity and changes appear on the Statement of Information (§ 6210(b), (d)); § 5008.9 dissolution depends on prolonged FTB suspension, not a stand-alone agent lapse. |
FTB mails last-address notice; Secretary of State posts 60 calendar days. Timely written FTB objection adds 90 days to satisfy amounts and file a current statement; FTB may extend once for up to 90 days (§ 5008.9(b), (d), (g)). |
Without timely objection, dissolution follows the 60-day posting; after objection without cure, it occurs 90 days after FTB receives the objection. Secretary of State certificate is prima facie evidence (§ 5008.9(f)–(g)). |
Section 5008.9(i) preserves creditor and related-person liability and Attorney General enforcement; § 5008.9 does not grant a reinstatement-period operating power after dissolution. |
Before dissolution, timely objection and cure cancel it (§ 5008.9(g)). After administrative dissolution, the Secretary of State says the same entity cannot be revived or reinstated. |
To avert dissolution after objection, satisfy accrued taxes, penalties, and interest and file a current Statement of Information (§ 5008.9(g)); there is no post-dissolution reinstatement filing under this route. |
Cure before dissolution cancels the pending action (§ 5008.9(g)); no relation-back reinstatement under § 5008.9. The statutory route instead provides a written FTB objection. |
| Colorado verified 2026-09-28 | Domestic nonprofit corporation; Secretary of State administers the general-entity delinquency, cure, dissolution, and reinstatement tracks (§§ 7-90-901–904, -908, -1001). |
Unpaid fee or penalty imposed by Title 7 when due, or failure to comply with periodic-report provisions; these create delinquency grounds (§ 7-90-901(1)(a)–(b)). |
Failure to comply with registered-agent/service provisions; unauthorized or fraudulent creation found by administrative judge or conceded demand is an immediate delinquency ground (§§ 7-90-901(1)(c)–(d), -902(1)). |
Ordinary delinquency follows 60 days to correct or disprove grounds after Secretary's determination; fraud/unauthorized-creation ground is immediate. Manager-filed dissolution after three years requires at least 30 days' prior written notice to persons with dissolution authority (§§ 7-90-902(1), -908(1)(d)). |
Delinquency follows the 60-day period, or immediately for § 7-90-901(1)(d); entity dissolves only on effective date of manager-filed dissolution statement after three uncured years (§§ 7-90-902(1), -908(2)). |
Existence and agent authority continue during delinquency; after § 7-90-908 dissolution, existence continues for winding up and claimant notice (§§ 7-90-903(3)–(4), -910, 7-134-105(1)). |
Cure delinquency by statement, with affidavit and photo ID at five years; a dissolved domestic nonprofit may reinstate, with extra affidavit and ID at two years dissolved (§§ 7-90-904(1), -1001, -1003(1.5)). |
Cure statement gives principal office and agent information; reinstatement needs requisite vote/consent, articles, current office and agent; conflicting name gains dated 'delinquency cured' or 'reinstated' suffix (§§ 7-90-904, -1002–1004). |
Reinstatement treats existence as uninterrupted while preserving reliance rights; declaration of delinquency may be appealed to district court within 30 days of its effective date (§§ 7-90-1005, -905). |
| Connecticut verified 2026-09-29 | Revised Nonstock Corporation Act; Secretary of the State issues administrative dissolution and reinstatement certificates (§§ 33-1000, 33-1181–1183). |
More than two years in annual-report default; current first report due within 90 days after formation, later reports on first-report anniversary; $50 report fee (§§ 33-1181(b), 33-1243(a)–(b), 33-1013(a)(12)). |
Failure to maintain agent, or agent unlocatable at recorded address despite reasonable diligence; annual-reporting corporations must maintain office and agent (§§ 33-1181(c), 33-1050(a)). |
Secretary sends email to last recorded corporate address; three months to file report or agent appointment. Agent paragraph says “mailing” of email notice (§ 33-1181(b)–(c)). |
Secretary files certificate after uncured period; effective on filing; sends copy by email and posts notice online for 60 days (§ 33-1181(b)–(e)). |
Corporation continues only to wind up/liquidate and notify claimants; registered-agent authority survives (§ 33-1182). |
Administratively dissolved corporation may apply after effective dissolution; § 33-1183(a) sets no outside calendar limit. |
Name and current report; unavailable name requires simultaneous charter amendment; pay penalties, $110 reinstatement and $50 report fees, appoint agent; tax and unemployment clearances unless agency fails to issue within five weeks (§§ 33-1183(a), 33-1013(a)(6), (12), (15)). |
Reinstatement certificate relates back; Secretary returns refusal with reasons within five days; appeal to superior court within 30 days after return (§§ 33-1183(b)–(c), 33-1184). |
| Delaware verified 2026-09-29 | Title 8, Chapter 1 corporation; Secretary of State handles void/forfeited charters and revival, with Governor proclamation for tax/report delinquencies (§§ 136, 312–313, 510–511). |
Annual report due March 1 even for exempt corporations; one-year report default or unpaid applicable franchise tax voids charter (§§ 501–502, 510, 313(c)). |
After agent resignation filing, domestic corporation must designate successor before 30-day period expires or charter is forfeited (§ 136(a)–(b)). |
For report/tax default, Secretary gives notice by November 30 and until March 1 to cure; agent gives corporation 30-day prior resignation notice, followed by 30 days after filing to replace (§§ 510, 136). |
One-year report/tax default voids charter by statute; Secretary declares agent-default charter forfeited; Governor proclaims tax/report delinquent charters repealed (§§ 510–511, 136(b)). |
Void charter’s powers become inoperative; after agent resignation with no successor, process may be served on Secretary (§§ 510, 136(c)). |
Corporation with void or forfeited charter may revive at any time; exempt corporation has specific § 313 route (§§ 312(b), 313). |
Board/governing body authorizes certificate with charter, agent, and date details; conflicting name requires a new one. Exempt corporation proves status and pays filing fee (§§ 312(c)–(g), (j), 313). |
Revival validates interim charter-scope acts and restores undisposed property and liabilities; § 313 gives exempt corporations same effect (§§ 312(e), 313(b)). |
| District of Columbia verified 2026-09-29 | Domestic nonprofit formed by filed articles is a domestic filing entity; Mayor administers general dissolution rules (§§ 29-401.02, 29-402.03, 29-101.02, 29-106.01–.04). |
Required Mayor fee or penalty unpaid, or biennial report undelivered, 5 months after due date (§ 29-106.01). |
Without a D.C. registered agent for 60 days; biennial report omits required ownership/control information (§§ 29-106.01, 29-102.11(a)(8)). |

After cure period, Mayor signs and files dissolution statement stating grounds and effective date, serves copy, and publishes website notice (§ 29-106.02(b)). |
Entity continues only for winding up, liquidation, or reinstatement application; registered-agent authority remains (§ 29-106.02(c)–(d)). |
An administratively dissolved domestic filing entity may apply to the Mayor after correcting or disproving the grounds (§ 29-106.03(a)). |

Department issues dissolution notice or certificate; § 617.1421(1) names the fourth Friday in September for missed annual reports, while § 617.1420(4) gives a 60-day notice cure (§§ 617.1420(4), .1421(1)–(2)). |

| Kentucky verified 2026-09-28 | Chapter 273 domestic nonprofit is an entity under Chapter 14A; secretary of state administers dissolution and reinstatement (§§ 14A.1-070(3), (7), 14A.7-010–030). |
Annual report due June 30; failure to deliver by due date is a ground; annual report fee $15. Tax-paid certificate is a reinstatement condition, not a listed tax-default ground (§§ 273.3671, 14A.6-010(3), 14A.7-010(1)(a), 14A.2-060(2), 14A.7-030(1)(d)). |
No Kentucky registered office or agent for at least 60 days, or failure to report office/agent change, discontinuance, or resignation within 60 days; other organic-law grounds preserved (§§ 273.182, 14A.7-010(1)(b)–(d)). |
Secretary advises entity of grounds; 60 days from mailed notice to correct each ground or satisfy secretary that it does not exist (§ 14A.7-020(1)–(2)). |
After uncured period, secretary signs and files certificate reciting grounds and effective date, then advises entity (§ 14A.7-020(2)). |
Existence continues for winding up and liquidation only; agent authority survives; Chapter 273 also preserves litigation and property title (§§ 14A.7-020(3)–(4), 273.302). |
May apply any time after effective dissolution, unless necessary winding-up, liquidation, and claimant-notice action has been completed (§ 14A.7-030(1), (4)). |

| Louisiana verified 2026-10-02 | Domestic nonprofit corporation under Chapter 2; secretary of state revokes and reinstates articles and franchise (§§ 12:266, 12:262.1). |
Three consecutive missed annual reports; annual report due on or before incorporation anniversary, with a $10 filing fee except for churches (§§ 12:262.1(A), 12:205.1(A), (C), 49:222(B)(2)(d)). |
Failure to designate and maintain both registered office and agent for 180 consecutive days; qualifying statewide-association church exempt from this revocation (§§ 12:262.1(A), (H), 12:236(A), (C)). |
At least 30 days before revocation, secretary mails written intent to last recorded agent at last known address; if none, to corporation at registered office; good standing averts revocation (§ 12:262.1(C)–(D)). |
Secretary revokes articles of incorporation and franchise after qualifying default and notice; reinstatement clock starts on effective revocation date (§ 12:262.1(A), (D)–(E)). |
Revocation preserves claims against the corporation, recourse to its property, and property sales (§ 12:262.1(G)); § 12:236(C)(1)(b) identifies the agent for service. |
Apply within three years of effective revocation; afterward, same route remains available if corporate name is still available (§ 12:262.1(E)(1), (3)). |
Officer-signed, acknowledged application, current annual report, and $95 reinstatement fee; liquidation/receivership suit adds unanimous shareholder consent; unavailable name after three years requires § 12:238 amendment (§§ 12:262.1(E), 49:222(B)(2)(a)). |
Certificate retroactive as if revocation never occurred (§ 12:262.1(E)(2)); after three years, name availability controls reinstatement (§ 12:262.1(E)(3)). |

No required registered agent, unreported agent/address change or resignation, or knowingly false material filing (§ 1112(4)–(6)). |
Secretary mails ground notice to registered agent; service perfected five days after proper mailing; 60 days after notice issued/perfected to correct grounds (§ 1113(1)–(2), (7)). |
Corporation is administratively dissolved after uncured 60-day period; Secretary sends notice stating grounds and effective date (§ 1113(2)). |
Existence continues only for winding up; registered-agent authority survives. Name remains protected for three years (§ 1113(3)–(5)). |
Ordinary application within six years; separate late application is available after six years with added conditions (§§ 1114(1), 1118(1)). |

| Maryland verified 2026-09-29 | General Corporation Law applies to nonstock corporations; State Department of Assessments and Taxation (the Department) proclaims forfeiture and records revival (§§ 5-201, 5-208, 3-503, 3-507). |
Overdue annual report, specified State tax, or unemployment contribution/reimbursement default can trigger charter forfeiture (§ 3-503). |
The § 3-503 proclamation list concerns report and payment defaults; revival articles must identify the resident agent and address (§§ 3-503, 3-508). |
Comptroller or Labor Secretary mails warning for its listed debts; receipt is unnecessary. Department mails proclamation notice within 10 days; cure within 60 days after proclamation (§§ 3-503–504). |
After annual September 30 certifications, Department proclamation forfeits the charter and makes corporate powers inoperative on its date (§ 3-503). |
Directors manage assets for liquidation, may finish contracts and sue or be sued; nonstock assets remain subject to liability and charitable-use distribution limits (§§ 3-515, 5-208). |
Cure report/payment default within 60 days after proclamation for reinstatement; later articles-of-revival route states no fixed outside filing date (§§ 3-504, 3-507). |
Two last officers, or qualifying directors, sign acknowledged revival articles; state a compliant name and resident agent. Pay $100 processing fee and covered taxes/unemployment dues; file overdue reports, with seven-report online exception for nonstock corporations (§§ 3-507–509, 1-203). |
Timely cure reinstates as of forfeiture; accepted revival validates in-scope interim acts and restores unsold assets/rights. Department may correct mistaken forfeiture by proclamation (§§ 3-504–505, 3-510, 3-512). |
| Massachusetts verified 2026-09-28 | Massachusetts ch. 180 corporation; state secretary may revoke charter for covered nonprofit annual-certificate default, and may revive under imported ch. 156B § 108 (ch. 180 §§ 10C, 26A(4)). |
Covered nonprofit files annual certificate by November 1 with fee set annually; two successive missed years followed by an uncured notice can cause charter revocation. Section 26A(5) exempts specified organizations from this reporting route. |
Resident-agent appointment is permissive under imported ch. 156B § 49; ch. 180 § 26A(4) makes two missed annual certificates the revocation ground in this route. |
State secretary sends postage-prepaid mail after two consecutive missed certificates; corporation has 90 days after notice of default is given to submit the required certificates (ch. 180 § 26A(4)). |
Uncured 90-day default is sufficient cause for state-secretary charter revocation; the statute requires Secretary action and gives no automatic calendar termination date (ch. 180 § 26A(4)). |
Imported ch. 156B § 102 continues corporate existence for three years for suits and settlement, property disposition, and distribution after debts, not regular activity; timely suits receive an additional 90 days after final judgment (ch. 180 § 10C). |
Interested party may apply for general or specified-purpose revival after termination; ch. 156B § 108 sets no outer application deadline, while 950 CMR 104.18 caps a limited revival at one year. |
Application states name, applicant/interest, termination, interval activities, reasons and desired period, signed under perjury; general revival requires previous ten fiscal years of annual reports. Pay proper fee and Secretary-imposed terms; file change forms for changed officers, office, agent or fiscal year (950 CMR 104.18; ch. 156B § 108). |
Revival certificate is effective when filed; general revival restores powers, duties and obligations as if not dissolved and ratifies qualifying interim corporate acts, subject to certificate limits. Limited revival follows its certificate (ch. 156B § 108). |
| Michigan verified 2026-09-28 | Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act 162 of 1982; LARA administrator handles annual-report dissolution and renewal (MCL §§ 450.2105–.2106, .2922, .2925). |
Missed annual report, filing fee, or fee penalty for 2 years from due date leads to automatic dissolution 60 days later (MCL § 450.2922(1)). |
The Act’s dissolution-events section lists annual-report/fee default, expiration, voluntary certificate, and court judgment; agent lapse is not a listed automatic ground (MCL § 450.2831). |
Delinquency notice mailed to registered office within 90 days after report due; impending-dissolution notice at least 90 days before 2-year period expires; authorized agent email also possible (MCL §§ 450.2923(2)–(3), .2922(1), (4)). |

Corporate existence continues for winding up; corporation may sue and be sued, and pending actions continue (MCL §§ 450.2833–.2834). |
Section 450.2925 permits renewal after § 450.2922(1) dissolution without a stated outer application deadline; the 5-year figure caps catch-up report history, not the filing window. |
File missing annual reports for last 5 years or shorter missing period; pay all unpaid annual fees plus $5 per delinquent report; administrator may require conforming name (MCL § 450.2925(1)). |
On filing and payment, corporate existence renews; rights match uninterrupted existence and interval contracts remain valid (MCL § 450.2925(1)–(2)). |
| Minnesota verified 2026-09-28 | Domestic nonprofit corporation under ch. 317A; Secretary of State handles annual renewal, dissolution certificate, and reinstatement (§§ 317A.823, .827). |
Annual renewal due December 31 each year after incorporation; unfiled delinquent renewal leads to involuntary dissolution (§ 317A.823(1)–(2)). |
Registered office required and agent optional; § 317A.823's administrative route identifies the missed renewal as its dissolution ground (§§ 317A.121, .823). |
Secretary may send annual reminder by the corporation's recorded information; renewal due December 31; § 317A.823 specifies no separate cure clock after that due date. |

Single annual registration states Minnesota name, registered office, agent if any, principal officer, and email if any; old § 317A.821(3) route requires $25 (§§ 317A.827(2), 5.34(a), 317A.821(3)). |
Filing returns active status as of dissolution, validates authorized acts, and restores assets and rights except those affected or disposed of after dissolution (§ 317A.827(2)). |

Annual officer/director list due by the last day of the incorporation anniversary month (or alternative due-date anniversary); missing filing or fee means default. Nonprofit list fee $50; default penalty $50 (§§ 82.193(3), 78.150(2), 78.170(1), (3)). |
Must maintain registered agent; failure to replace an agent before resignation or commercial-agent termination takes effect is a default (§§ 82.193(1), 78.097(1)–(2)). |

Service-agent appointment is optional; failure to maintain one does not affect charter validity (§ 292:5-d). |
Secretary advises corporation in writing when failure to renew revokes its charter (§ 292:25(I)). |
Nonrenewal repeals, revokes, and annuls charter and ends the right to its incorporated name (§ 292:25(I)). |
Corporate body continues three years to litigate, close affairs, and distribute assets; pending suits extend that limited existence (§ 292:29(I)–(II)). |
Corporation with charter revoked under renewal subdivision may apply for revival at any time (§ 292:30(I)). |

| New Jersey verified 2026-09-28 | N.J.S.A. § 15A:4-5; State Treasurer handles domestic nonprofit report revocation and reinstatement. |
Two consecutive missing annual reports; filing both reports and paying their fees during cure prevents revocation (§ 15A:4-5(c)). |

Certified-mail written demand to last address on Treasurer's record; 60 days after demand to file reports and pay report fees (§ 15A:4-5(c)). |

Revocation ends authority to conduct affairs in New Mexico; § 53-8-54 does not give a separate winding-up or agent-survival rule. Dormant listing removal itself is not formal dissolution (§§ 53-8-54(B), -88.1(A)). |
Corporation revoked under § 53-8-53 may apply within two years after effective revocation; dormant class may revive by resuming activity and filing an annual report (§§ 53-8-54(C), -88.1(A)). |

Failure to register or file annual financial reports under the cited charitable-reporting laws; Attorney General list covers five immediately preceding years without annual financial reports (§ 1014(a)). |

File Attorney General consent and $50 Secretary of State fee; if its name conflicts after the one-year reservation, simultaneously file a name-change amendment (§ 1014(g)–(h)). |
Consent filing annuls the prior dissolution proceedings as if the proclamation had not been made; erroneous inclusion can also be corrected on the state record (§ 1014(h)–(i)). |

| North Dakota verified 2026-09-29 | Nonprofit corporation under chapter 10-33; secretary of state handles annual-report and agent/misrepresentation status (§§ 10-33-139, -141.3). |
Annual report due before February 2; nonfiling or unpaid filing/penalty fees leads to loss of good standing, then dissolution after one year (§§ 10-33-139(3)-(5), -140(1)(q)). |
Failure to maintain registered agent and office, or material misrepresentation in a filed record, permits a separate secretary of state dissolution (§ 10-33-141.3(1)). |
Report default: mailed warning after due date, then one year to file and pay. Agent/misrepresentation: at least 60 days mailed notice to agent/office or principal office, with cure during that period (§§ 10-33-139(4)-(5), -141.3(1)). |
Report default dissolves by operation of law one year after due date; agent/misrepresentation route ends existence after 60 days from mailing if uncured (§§ 10-33-139(5), -141.3(1)(c)). |
Statute says existence ceases; former officers, directors, or voting members may sue or defend in corporate name. Notices use last registered agent/office or principal office (§§ 10-33-139(5), -116, -141.3(1)). |
Report-default corporation may reinstate by filing/paying within one year after involuntary dissolution; separate agent-route section specifies pre-dissolution good-standing restoration (§§ 10-33-139(7), -141.3(3)). |
Past-due report, $10 report fee, $5 late fee, $40 reinstatement fee; an old name taken or reserved by another person requires consent/judgment or a compliant new name (§§ 10-33-139(7), -140(1)(q), -10(8)). |
Report-default reinstatement preserves interim rights and liabilities; filing rejection appeal within 30 days, while agent-route dissolution has a distinct de novo district-court appeal (§§ 10-33-139(7), -141(3)-(5)). |
| Ohio verified 2026-09-29 | Domestic nonprofit; Secretary of State cancels articles under Ohio Rev. Code §§ 1702.06(M), 1702.59(E) |
Verified continued-existence statement within each five years after incorporation or last corporate filing; failure triggers cancellation (§ 1702.59(A)-(E)) |
Failure to appoint a replacement statutory agent or file an agent-address change (§ 1702.06(D)-(E), (M)) |
Agent: certified-mail notice; 30 days from mailing or further period granted. Existence statement: ordinary/electronic-mail notice and compliance form (§§ 1702.06(M), 1702.59(D)) |
Agent: articles canceled automatically at cure-period expiry; SOS records it. Statement: SOS cancels, records, and mails certificate (§§ 1702.06(M), 1702.59(E)) |
Corporate existence continues for winding up, reinstatement, and conditionally protected interim acts; service on officer/director/liquidator/asset custodian, then agent if none found (§§ 1702.49(A), (C), 1702.60(C)) |
Both ordinary agent and continued-existence routes: apply within two years of cancellation (§§ 1702.06(M), 1702.59(F)) |
Application and $25 reinstatement fee; agent route also files required appointment/address statement. Name reserved one year; conflict afterward requires amendment (§§ 1702.06(M), 1702.59(F), 1702.60(A), 111.16(Q)) |
Rights revest as if never canceled; interim acts protected only within former articles and without actor knowledge of cancellation; no separate denial-review procedure stated in these reinstatement sections (§ 1702.60(A)-(D)) |
| Oklahoma verified 2026-09-28 | Nonprofit nonstock corporation under General Corporation Act; Secretary of State becomes fallback agent, Tax Commission orders fee-related charter forfeiture, Secretary records it (§§ 18-1004.1, 18-1026, 18-1142(18), 68-1212(E)). |
Unpaid $100 Secretary-of-State agent fee after July 1, not paid before September 1, mandates Tax Commission forfeiture; former-year franchise-tax statement/payment defaults may also lead to order (§§ 18-1142(18), 68-1203, 68-1210(A), 68-1212(A)). |
Domestic corporation must maintain registered agent; if agent resigns without successor, Secretary becomes agent after 30 days and annual fee starts (§§ 18-1022(A), 18-1026(A)–(B), 18-1142(18)). |
Resigning agent gives corporation 30-day prefiling notice; resignation effective 30 days after filing; Tax Commission sends certified notice of forfeiture and may publish notice; § 68-1212 gives no separate pre-order cure clock (§§ 18-1026(A), 68-1212(D)). |
Tax Commission order transmitted to Secretary of State or county clerk; forfeiture effective immediately on recording (§ 68-1212(E)). |
After forfeiture, specified officers risk personal liability for new knowing debts; corporate court access is curtailed and later contracts voidable; Secretary remains default agent until successor designated (§§ 68-1212(C), 18-1026(B)–(C)). |
Tax Commission forfeiture may be revived on payment and compliance (§ 68-1212(F)); tax-forfeited nonstock charter may use § 18-1120 at any time, subject to name change after three years if needed (§ 18-1120(B), (F), (J)). |
Tax Commission route requires accrued charges, compliance and $150 fee (§ 68-1212(F)); tax-forfeited nonstock certificate route adds governing-body authorization, identity/dates, agent/office, and $25 nonprofit certificate filing fee (§§ 18-1120(C)–(D), (J), 18-1142(10)). |
For a § 18-1120 certificate revival, filing restores charter as if never forfeited and validates intervening acts; §§ 18-1120 and 68-1212 specify no denial-appeal deadline. |
| Oregon verified 2026-09-28 | Chapter 65 domestic nonprofit corporation; Secretary of State dissolves and reinstates (§§ 65.647, 65.651, 65.654). |

Existence continues only for winding up, liquidation, and claimant notice; registered-agent authority survives (§ 65.651(3)–(4)). |
Apply within five years; Secretary may waive deadline upon request and evidence of continued existence as active concern during dissolution (§ 65.654(1), (4)). |
Application states name/date and absent or eliminated grounds; name must comply with distinguishability rule. General business-registry document fee $50, subject to statutory fee-waiver power (§§ 65.654(1)–(2), 65.094(4)–(5), 56.140(4), (7)). |
Reinstatement relates back; written denial reasons; noncontested-order judicial review in qualifying circuit court, generally within 60 days after order served (§§ 65.654(3), 65.657, 183.484(1)–(2)). |
| Pennsylvania verified 2026-09-28 | 15 Pa.C.S. §§ 146, 381–384; Department of State; domestic nonprofit is a domestic filing entity under the annual-report and administrative-dissolution scheme. |
Annual report due before July 1 under § 146(c)(1). § 381 ground arises when report remains unfiled six months after due, but applies only to reports due on/after 2027-01-04. |
The § 381 administrative-dissolution ground is a missed annual report; report states registered office and principal office (§§ 146(a), 381(a)). |
Department sends notice to registered and last-reported principal offices; 60 days after delivery to file or demonstrate prior filing (§ 382(a)–(b)). |
Department files statement of administrative dissolution with effective date no earlier than 60 days after notice delivery (§ 382(b)(1)); § 381 deferred to reports due 2027-01-04 or later. |
Corporate existence continues only for winding up, liquidation, or reinstatement; governors remain in office and may wind up or apply (§ 382(d)). |

Application states entity name, offices, and either absence of ground or attaches latest unfiled report with required report payments; substitute available name if needed (§ 383(a)). |
Reinstatement generally relates back, subject to reliance rights and name change; rejection requires reasons and points to court review (§§ 383(c), 384). Ground starts with reports due on/after 2027-01-04 (§ 381(b)). |
| Rhode Island verified 2026-09-29 | Rhode Island Nonprofit Corporation Act; Secretary of State revokes domestic nonprofit incorporation and may withdraw revocation (§§ 7-6-56–58). |
Annual report unfiled or fee unpaid when due; annual report ordinarily due February 1–May 1 (§§ 7-6-56(a)(3), 7-6-91(a)). |
No agent for 30 days, unfiled agent/office change, late amendment/merger articles, fraud, abuse of authority, or material misrepresentation (§ 7-6-56(a)). |
At least 60 days' notice by regular mail to registered office, with specified fallback addresses; correction before revocation prevents it (§ 7-6-56(b)). |
Secretary issues and files certificate of revocation; authority to transact business ceases on issuance (§ 7-6-57). |
Revoked corporation continues five years to close affairs, dispose of property, pay liabilities, and distribute assets (§ 7-6-69). |
Secretary may withdraw revocation and reinstate good standing within 20 years of certificate issuance (§ 7-6-58(a)). |
File previously missing documents and pay $25 per elapsed year or part; conflicting name requires articles amendment (§ 7-6-58(a)–(b)). |
Unconveyed real estate revests on reinstatement; revocation may be appealed to Superior Court for de novo review (§§ 7-6-58(c), 7-6-59, 7-6-99). |
| South Carolina verified 2026-09-28 | Domestic nonprofit corporation under the South Carolina Nonprofit Corporation Act; Secretary of State effects dissolution and reinstatement (§§ 33-31-1420–1422). |
Principal-office change report due within 30 days of change; its omission is the listed report ground; § 33-31-1420 lists no general fee or tax default (§§ 33-31-505, -1420(1)). |
No South Carolina registered agent or office, unreported agent/office change or resignation, expired stated duration, or Chapter 7 bankruptcy adjudication (§ 33-31-1420(2)–(5)). |
Secretary may serve written determination; at least 60 days after perfected service under § 33-31-504 to correct or disprove every ground (§ 33-31-1421(a)–(b)). |

Reinstatement certificate relates back to dissolution; written denial appeal to Richland County court of common pleas within 30 days after perfected service (§§ 33-31-1422(b)–(c), -1423). |
| South Dakota verified 2026-09-29 | Domestic nonprofit under chapters 47-22 to 47-28; secretary of state administers dissolution and reinstatement (§§ 47-22-2, 47-24-13.2, -16). |
Fees or penalties unpaid 60 days after due; annual report 60 days late. Nonprofit report duty and $10 report fee apply (§§ 47-24-13.1(1)-(2), -6; 47-28-6(9)). |

Secretary serves written determination; corporation has 60 days after service is perfected to correct or rebut each ground. Service cross-reference § 47-22-48 is repealed (§§ 47-24-13.2, 47-22-42 to -51). |
If uncured, secretary signs and files certificate stating grounds and effective date, then serves a copy (§ 47-24-13.2). |
Existence continues only for winding up, liquidation, and claimant notice; agent authority continues (§ 47-24-13.2). |

| Tennessee verified 2026-10-04 | Tennessee Nonprofit Corporation Act; secretary of state handles domestic nonprofit dissolution and reinstatement (§§ 48-64-201–204) |
Proper annual report over 2 months late; dishonored instrument for a filing fee (§ 48-64-201(1), (6)) |
Agent/office absent or change unreported for 2 months; noncompliant filed name, expired charter term, knowing materially false filing, or specified foreign-adversary control (§ 48-64-201(2)–(5), (7)–(8)) |
Secretary serves written ground notice (first-class mail allowed); public-benefit AG notice; 2 months after perfected service to cure or disprove (§ 48-64-202(a)–(b)) |
After uncured 2 months, secretary signs/files certificate stating grounds and effective date, then serves copy (§ 48-64-202(b)) |
Existence continues only for winding up, liquidation, and claimant notice; registered-agent authority continues (§ 48-64-202(c)–(d)) |
Corporation may apply; expired-duration ground requires charter extension and application within 1 year of expiration (§§ 48-64-203(a), -206) |
Application includes good-standing confirmation, former name, ground eliminated/disproved, compliant name; $70 filing fee; changed name amends charter (§§ 48-64-203(a)–(b), 48-51-303(a)(23)) |

| Texas verified 2026-09-28 | Tex. Bus. Orgs. Code chs. 11 and 22; Secretary of State administers general filing-entity termination and the nonprofit-specific report-forfeiture route (§§ 11.251, 22.357–.365). |
General route: late required report or fee/penalty; separate 16-day notice cure for formation-fee failure. Nonprofit-specific secretary-of-state report is required no more than once every four years on request (§§ 11.251(b), 22.357). |
General route includes failure to maintain a registered agent or office in Texas (§ 11.251(b)(1)(B)); the nonprofit report states the registered agent and office (§ 22.357(a)(3)). |
General-route notice by regular/certified mail: cure before day 91 for report/fee/agent failures, before day 16 for formation fee (§ 11.251). Nonprofit report due 30 days after mailed request; revival within 120 days after mailed forfeiture notice (§§ 22.358–.359, .361, .363). |
General termination when Secretary of State issues certificate (§ 11.252(c)); nonprofit report failure first forfeits right to conduct affairs upon record entry, then termination is entered if not revived (§§ 22.360, .364). |
During report forfeiture, corporation cannot maintain a Texas action but may defend; contracts and acts remain valid (§ 22.362). General-route certificate terminates existence (§ 11.252(c)). |
General-route reinstatement by certificate after correction; continuity if filed before third anniversary (§ 11.253). Nonprofit-report forfeiture can be revived within 120 days; after resulting termination, § 22.365 provides reinstatement. |
General route: certificate with required facts, corrections, fees, and amendments; nonprofit is excepted from the stated comptroller tax-clearance-letter condition (§ 11.253). Nonprofit report route: report, fee, accrued sums, and new name if old name unavailable (§ 22.365). |
General reinstatement before third anniversary treats existence as uninterrupted, but does not erase intervening personal-liability issues (§ 11.253(d)). Nonprofit-report reinstatement sets aside the forfeiture record (§ 22.365(b)). |
| Utah verified 2026-10-01 | Ordinary domestic nonprofit corporation under Chapter 6a is a covered domestic filing entity; Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code administers common §§ 16-1a-602 to -605 (2026 S.B. 40). |
Division may initiate dissolution after a Division-required fee, tax, interest, or penalty remains unpaid six months after demand, or an annual report remains undelivered 60 days after due (§ 16-1a-602(1)–(2)); shared § 16-1a-212 requires a report each calendar year. |
Failure to maintain a Utah registered agent for 60 consecutive calendar days is the other listed ground; the former separate change-notice and fixed-duration grounds are absent from the replacement list (§ 16-1a-602(3)). |
If a listed condition exists, Division serves the nonprofit with a determination; it has up to 60 days after service to cure every condition or demonstrate that none exists (§ 16-1a-603(1)–(2)). |
After uncured 60-day service period, Division signs a statement of administrative dissolution stating each condition and its effective date; this replaces the former five-day-after-mailing rule (§ 16-1a-603(3)). |
Corporate existence continues but activities are limited to winding up/liquidation or seeking reinstatement. Current nonprofit § 16-6a-1405(1) includes collecting assets, meeting liabilities and conditional-property returns. Administrative dissolution does not terminate agent authority (§§ 16-1a-603(4)–(5), 16-6a-1405(1)). |
A nonprofit administratively dissolved under § 16-1a-603 may apply at any time if its name is available; name and DBA are retained five years, which is not an application cutoff (§ 16-1a-604(1)–(3)). |
Application gives old and compliant new name if needed, principal office, agent, dissolution date, cure and Division-payment statements, paid/current-plan State Tax Commission status, FEIN, and Division-required information. Division requests tax certification and, if conditions hold, files/serves reinstatement statement (§§ 16-1a-404, -604(1), (4)–(6)). |
Reinstatement relates back and permits activities as if dissolution never occurred, but preserves rights acquired in reliance on dissolution before knowledge/notice of reinstatement. A denial notice gives reasons; judicial review is available within 30 days after service (§§ 16-1a-604(7), -605). |
| Vermont verified 2026-09-29 | Domestic nonprofit under Title 11B; Secretary of State administers involuntary termination and reinstatement (§§ 14.20–14.23). |
Title-imposed fees unpaid or biennial report undelivered within 60 days after due date (§ 14.20(1)–(2)). |
No agent or registered office for 60 days; failure within 120 days to notify covered agent/office change, resignation, or discontinuance (§ 14.20(3)–(4)). |
Written determination served under § 5.04 and 11 V.S.A. § 1656; at least 60 days after perfected service to cure or disprove grounds (§ 14.21(a)–(b)). |
After uncured grounds, Secretary may sign and file certificate stating grounds/effective date, serve copy, and notify Attorney General for public benefit corporation (§ 14.21(b)). |
Existence continues for winding up, liquidation, and claimant notice; agent authority survives (§§ 14.21(c)–(d), 14.05). |
Involuntarily dissolved corporation that has not distributed its assets may apply to Secretary of State (§ 14.22(a)). |
$25 for each delinquent year; application states name, dissolution date, eliminated or nonexistent grounds, and name compliance (§ 14.22(a)). |
Reinstatement relates back; explained denial notice; appeal to Washington County Superior Court within 90 days after perfected service (§§ 14.22(c), 14.23). |
| Virginia verified 2026-09-28 | Virginia Nonstock Corporation Act; the State Corporation Commission handles domestic nonstock corporate termination and reinstatement (§§ 13.1-914–916). |
Missed annual report or applicable $25 annual registration fee; automatic termination if still delinquent on the last day of the fourth month after its due date (§§ 13.1-914(A), 13.1-936(C), 13.1-936.1(A)). |
Unreplaced agent resignation triggers automatic termination on a separate clock. Commission order may terminate for missing registered office or agent, a required filing, exceeded/abused authority, or specified federal conviction (§§ 13.1-914(B), -915(A)). |
Commission shall mail impending-termination notice for report/fee default, but automatic termination occurs whether mailed or not; cure by end of fourth following month. After agent resignation, 31 days to file change before mailed notice, then until end of second following month. Other grounds require a show-cause rule and hearing opportunity (§§ 13.1-914(A)–(B), -915(C)). |
Automatic on the statutory fourth-month or agent-resignation second-month date; other listed grounds require a Commission termination order (§§ 13.1-914(A)–(B), -915(A)). |
After termination, property and affairs pass to directors as liquidation trustees to collect assets, discharge liabilities and distribute remainder; pretermination claims can still be pursued in corporate name. Resigning agent and registered office discontinue when resignation takes effect (§§ 13.1-914(C), -917, -835). |
Apply to Commission within five years after termination, except abuse-of-authority termination and specified court-directed dissolution; specified conviction blocks reinstatement for at least one year (§§ 13.1-916(A), -915(A)). |
Application with ID signed by officer/director or qualifying member-interest agent affidavit; $10 reinstatement fee, all accrued annual fees and penalties, latest annual report, agent change if needed, and name-change articles plus filing fee if name fails § 13.1-829 (§§ 13.1-916(B), -816(2)(b)). |
Commission order reinstates upon compliance and deems existence continuous from termination; interval liability is determined as if no termination occurred. Effective Jan. 1, 2027, enacted replacement § 13.1-916(B)(2) raises reinstatement fee to $100 and § 13.1-914(C) expressly adds property-sale power for liquidation trustees (§§ 13.1-916(C), -914(C)). |
| Washington verified 2026-09-28 | Washington Nonprofit Corporation Act, ch. 24.03A RCW, applies the general-entity administrative dissolution rules in ch. 23.95 RCW; Secretary of State acts on status and reinstatement (RCW 24.03A.928, .934). |

Secretary of State serves recorded determination through RCW 23.95.250 delivery; 60 days after service to cure or show each ground absent. A separate annual-renewal reminder goes 30–90 days before expiration, by elected postal or email route (RCW 23.95.610(1)–(2), .255(7)). |
After uncured 60-day period, Secretary of State executes and files a statement of administrative dissolution stating grounds and effective date, and serves a copy (RCW 23.95.610(2)). |
Entity continues only to wind up/liquidate or seek reinstatement; registered-agent authority survives. Nonprofit Act preserves claims and provides winding-up powers, including asset collection and liabilities (RCW 23.95.610(3)–(4); 24.03A.914, .930). |
Administratively dissolved domestic nonprofit may apply within five years after effective dissolution date (RCW 24.03A.934; 23.95.615(1)). |
Executed application states name/compliance, principal office, agent, dissolution date and cure; amend organic record if name is unavailable. Pay all renewal/license fees during dissolution, rule-set penalty, and current-year fee (RCW 23.95.615(1)–(2), .300(1)). |
Secretary files and serves reinstatement statement; when effective it relates back to dissolution, subject to specified reliance rights. Denial must give reasons; superior-court review within 30 days after service (RCW 23.95.615(3)–(4), .620). |
| West Virginia verified 2026-09-29 | West Virginia Nonprofit Corporation Act; Secretary of State handles domestic administrative dissolution and reinstatement (§§ 31E-13-1320–1323). |
Annual/biennial report and $25/$50 fee due June 30; unpaid fee 60 days late is a dissolution ground. Fee/report delinquency also invokes certified mail notice before dissolution (§§ 59-1-2a, 31E-13-1320(1)). |
Failure to report agent/office change or resignation within 60 days; stated duration expiry, required professional-license revocation, employment-program default, or material filing misrepresentation (§ 31E-13-1320(2)–(6)). |
Secretary sends certified mail ground notice; corporation has 60 days after perfected service to cure or disprove. Unpaid report-fee dissolution also needs certified mail postmarked at least 30 days before stated dissolution date (§§ 31E-13-1321, 31E-5-504, 59-1-2a(g)(1)). |
After uncured notice, Secretary signs/files certificate stating grounds and effective date; emails copy if address on file (§ 31E-13-1321(b)). |
Corporate existence continues only to wind up/liquidate and notify claimants; administrative dissolution does not end registered-agent authority (§ 31E-13-1321(c)–(d)). |
Administratively dissolved nonprofit may apply within two years after dissolution’s effective date (§§ 31E-13-1320(b), 31E-13-1322(a)). |
Application gives name/date, eliminated grounds and compliant name; include Tax Commissioner certificate that all corporate taxes are paid (§ 31E-13-1322(a)). |
Secretary cancels dissolution certificate if application is correct; reinstatement relates back. Written denial can be appealed to circuit court within 30 days after service (§§ 31E-13-1322(b)–(c), 31E-13-1323). |
| Wisconsin verified 2026-09-28 | Domestic nonstock corporation under ch. 181; Department of Financial Institutions administers dissolution and reinstatement (§§ 181.1420–.1422). |
Chapter fees or penalties unpaid one year after due; annual report not on file one year after due (§ 181.1420(1)–(2)). |
No Wisconsin agent or office for at least one year; change, resignation, or discontinuance unreported for one year; stated duration expires; specified human-trafficking violation (§ 181.1420(3)–(4), (6)–(7)). |
Written notice to agent; if returned, mail to principal office, then website posting if needed; correct or disprove every ground within 60 days after notice takes effect (§ 181.1421(1)–(4)). |
After uncured 60-day period, department may enter grounds and effective dissolution date in its records and send written notice (§ 181.1421(4)(b)). |
