More details to this question:
In 2008, we created a LLC to protect our assets in real estate, through the advice of a friend. We never used the LLC after it's creation and almost forgotten about it. After a few years, we dissolved the LLC. In 2013, we received a letter from the State of California, saying we owe them $4000 (800 per year for 5 years) plus late fees. We never received any statement from previous years about owing the state anything. After 5 years, Bam! $4000. My question is, can we dispute this fee? Since this is a LLC, we never listed any assets under it, the state would not be able to liquidate anything to cover the fees? Is there a way to check what assets we may have listed under the LLC? Thanks in advance.

It is the entity, not the owners that owes the tax. Disputing it would do no good. Ignoring it will result in the LLC being suspended, which if not used should be no problem for you.
