About LLC by State Guide

LLC by State Guide is a reference on what it costs to form and keep an LLC in each of the 50 states: the filing fee, the yearly report and the registered agent rule, with the official source behind each figure.

How we choose a best overall pick

We favor services whose price covers the whole first year and every year after (formation, registered agent and annual reports) at a price that doesn’t rise at renewal. Today that is Mainstay Filing at $199 a year plus state fees.

Corrections

States change fees, sometimes mid-year. Each state page shows when its figures were last checked; we re-check them on a schedule and after announced fee changes.
