LLC Annual Fees by state
The following table shows LLC Annual fees by state. The average LLC annual fee in the US is 91$ as of 2023. Many states call the LLC annual fee requirement the Annual Report. But it has many other names as well:
- Annual Certificate
- Annual List of Members
- Annual Registration Fee
- Biennial Report
- Biennial Statement
- Business Privilege Tax Return
- Decennial Report
- Franchise Tax Report
- Periodic Report
Keep in mind: Just because some states have lower annual fees does not mean you should form there! It can cost you a lot more money in the end. You could also end up illegally doing business in your home state by filing for 2 LLCs (Domestic and a Foreign LLC).
