Small business LLC owners in Cortland and Cortland County must prepare for the New York LLC Transparency Act (NYLTA), which becomes effective on January 1, 2026.
This new requirement applies to every LLC in New York — including single-member LLCs, home-based businesses, rentals, small professional practices, and family-owned companies.
NYLTA mandates that all LLCs submit verified beneficial ownership information to the state.
NYLTA.com provides Cortland small businesses with a secure, guided filing process designed specifically for New York’s new reporting requirements.

Every LLC in Cortland must report:
Full legal names of all beneficial owners
Residential or business addresses
Government-issued identification Numbers (driver’s license or passport)
Date of birth
Ownership percentage or control role
Company legal name & EIN
If your small business operates as an LLC, you are required to file unless your company is specifically exempt under state law.
