How Much Does It Cost to Form an Arizona LLC?
Arizona is one of the lowest LLC filing fees in the country. But the state filing fee is only part of the picture. This page breaks down every cost you'll encounter — formation, ongoing compliance, and optional services — so there are no surprises.
State Filing Fee
The Arizona Corporation Commission charges $50 to file your Articles of Organization. This is a one-time fee paid when you form the LLC. At $50, Arizona is one of the cheapest states to file in.
Annual / Recurring State Fees
Arizona does not require an annual report from LLCs. This is one of a handful of states with no recurring state filing obligation for standard LLCs.
Arizona tax note: No annual report or franchise tax required. $35 for expedited (non-same-day) processing. Filed with Arizona Corporation Commission, not Secretary of State.
Statutory Agent Cost
