Check Your Formation Documents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When an LLC is formed, you will create formation documents\nthat include an operating agreement and articles of organization. Depending on\nwhat you included in each one, one of them should contain defined rules that\nwill dictate how to dissolve an LLC. In some common articles of organization,\nthe rules include things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Having a certain percentage of members vote for\ndissolution<\/li>
  • Setting a specific time to meet and vote on\ndissolution<\/li>
  • Specific processes for providing notice to LLC\nmembers of a vote<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Maryland also has an LLC Act that can supersede the rules of\nyour LLC and provide other rules to dissolve an LLC via unanimous consent. When\nyou obtain unanimous consent, you can dissolve the LLC without the traditional\nvote or processes detailed in the operating agreement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    File Articles of Dissolution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Depending on how you want to dissolve an LLC, you can also\nfile your articles of dissolution with the Maryland Department of Assessments\nand Taxation. This document will need to contain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • The date that the articles of organization and\namendments were filed<\/li>
    • The name of the LLC<\/li>
    • Other relevant information<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
