Confirm the LLC Statement of Information is current (LLC-owned rentals). If the rental is held in a California LLC or an out-of-state LLC registered in California, the Secretary of State requires a $20 Statement of Information within 90 days of formation and every two years during the six months ending with the formation anniversary month, and a missed filing can bring a $250 penalty and eventual suspension of the LLC's powers, rights, and privileges.
Pay the $800 California LLC franchise tax by April 15. If the rental property is held in an LLC, the $800 annual LLC tax (often called the franchise tax, paid with FTB Form 3522 or Web Pay) is due by the 15th day of the 4th month of the tax year, April 15 for a calendar year LLC, and it is owed every year until the LLC is canceled, even with no income, with late payment adding penalties and interest.
