LLC filing fees by state
State filing fee to form a domestic LLC, copied from each state's business filing office, with the form name, payment methods and check date.
States listed: 21. A state appears here only after we have read its fee on the official state page; states we have not checked yet are left out rather than filled with a guess.
Among the 21 states checked so far, the lowest base filing fee is $45 (Arkansas) and the highest is $300 (Texas). The base fee is only part of the cost: some states add a yearly report or tax, which the table shows where the official page states it.
