Hey, folks.
Matt Horowitz at llcuniversity.com.
I hope you're doing well.
Today, we're going to talk about the LLC annual fees by state, all 50 states.
I am referencing a table that we have on our website.
I just printed it out to read it to you.
This is a little bit ridiculous to make a video about all this stuff, but hey.
Some people like videos and it's easier to consume.
I'm going to go a little bit quicker here, because there's a lot of information to cover.
Again, probably 94% to 95% of the states all have an annual report or some iteration of
the annual report.
Most of the time, it's called annual report.
Sometimes it's called an annual certificate, an annual list of members, an annual registration
fee, a biennial statement, a business privilege tax return, a decennial report, a franchise
tax report, a period report, AKA you have to send the state money every one year, every
two years and in Pennsylvania, for example, every 10 years to basically keep your LLC
in good standing, and in compliance.
This is very serious stuff.
Don't take this lightly.
If you do not file your annual report or whatever the requirement is in your state, your state
will eventually dissolve AKA shut down your LLC.
This is serious business.
Now I'm basically going to quickly go over ... For the most part, everyone I'm about
to mention is just a fee paid once every year.
Now that due date is going to vary.
It's different by every single state.
You're going to have to click through to the website to read this table, because I don't
know if you can see this, but a lot of information.
Let's run for it.
Alabama, $100.
Alaska, $100.
Arizona, $0.
Arkansas, $150.
California, $800 plus $20.
Colorado, $10.
Connecticut, $20.
Delaware, $300.
DC, $300.
Florida, $140.
Georgia, $50.
Hawaii, $15.
Idaho, nothing.
Well actually, let me stop myself.
Some states, even though you pay $0, some ... A few states, you don't have to pay anything
or file anything, and those are the good states.
Just a few of those.
However, there's a bunch of other states where even though you pay 0, you still have to file
a report and some documentation.
Again, full details on this table.
Idaho, $0.
Illinois, $250.
Indiana, $30.
Iowa, $45.
Kansas, $55.
Kentucky, $15.
Louisiana, $35.
Maine, $85.
Maryland, minimum $300.
Massachusetts ... Oh boy.
$500.
Massachusetts and California and Nevada are your big boys, wanting $500 and $800 in California.
Massachusetts, $500.
Michigan, $25.
Minnesota, $0.
Mississippi, $0.
Missouri, $0.
Three 0s in a row.
Montana, $20.
Nebraska, $10.
Nevada, $500.
New Hampshire, $100.
New Jersey, $53.
New Mexico, $0.
New York, $9.
Although New York does have a funny publication requirement.
If you need details on that, we do have a video and a post on our website.
Again, New York, $9.
North Carolina, $200.
North Dakota, $50.
Ohio, $0.
Oklahoma, $25.
Oregon, $100.
Pennsylvania, $70.
However, it's every 10 years.
Again, most of these ... I'm not reading off the due dates.
Most of these are every year.
Some of these are every two years.
Rhode Island, $50.
South Carolina, $0.
South Dakota, $50.
Tennessee, minimum $300.
It goes up based on the amount of members your LLC has.
Texas, $0.
Although they do have a franchise tax document that needs to be filed.
Utah, $15.
Vermont, $35.
Virginia, $50.
Washington state, $81.
West Virginia, $25.
Wisconsin, $25.
Wyoming, $50.
That's fun, throwing papers on the floor like that.
Hope this video was helpful for you.
If you want all the details about is it every year, is it every other year, is it due on
my anniversary month, is it due in April, is it due in June, is it due in January, they're
all due at ... It's all crazy.
I wish they would all just make it the same, but they're all over the board.
Hopefully, this is just a quick run through to let you get a feel for what the price is
going to be on the annual state renewals that you have to pay every year to your state in
order to keep your LLC in compliance and in existence.
Hope this video is helpful.
Talk to you soon.
