Arizona LLC Filing Fees: What You Pay in 2026

Arizona keeps the math short. The Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) charges $50 to form an LLC, and after that the state charges an LLC nothing on a recurring basis. No annual report fee, no franchise tax, no yearly LLC tax. The only other money questions are how fast you want the filing processed, whether the newspaper publication rule applies to you, and what you pay for a registered agent.

The Formation Fee: $50

The official filing fee for the Articles of Organization (ACC form L010) is $50, set out in the ACC's L010 instructions under A.R.S. § 29-3201. It is a one-time payment made when you file, online through the Arizona Business Center or on paper.

Speed Upgrades

Regular processing is included in the $50. If you want the ACC to move faster, the published add-ons are:

• Expedited processing: +$35
• Next Day service: +$100
• Same Day service: +$200
• Two-Hour service: +$400

Newspaper Publication

Some Arizona LLCs owe one more formation-stage expense that never touches the ACC: publishing notice in an ACC-approved newspaper, three consecutive runs, within 60 days of approval. Whether you owe it depends entirely on your statutory agent's street address. Agents located in a county with over 800,000 residents, meaning Maricopa or Pima, are exempt under § 29-3201(G) because the ACC posts the notice to its own database. Everywhere else, the newspaper sets the price, so the amount varies by county and by paper. Choosing an agent based in an exempt county removes this line item entirely.

Nothing Due Each Year

Arizona LLCs are exempt from annual reports by statute, and the ACC says so plainly in its FAQ. Corporations pay $45 a year for their ACC annual report; LLCs pay $0 because no such filing exists for them. There is also no Arizona franchise tax and no annual LLC tax. Our annual requirements page explains what little remains.

Small Filings You Might Need Later

• Statement of Change (form L020): $5. Filed when your statutory agent or covered addresses change, with an optional $35 expedite. The incoming agent also signs an acceptance (form M002), which carries no separate fee.
• Foreign Registration Statement (form L025): $150. This is what an LLC formed in another state pays to register to do business in Arizona.

Adding It Up

If your agent address is outside Maricopa and Pima counties, budget for the newspaper run as well. Every year after that, the total state-side bill is $0, and the agent renewal is $99.
