What Arizona itself charges

Item Amount Source
Filing to create the LLC $50 azcc.gov (pulled October 2026, noted here)
State fees added, years 1 to 3 $50 Sum of the lines above

The state's share is worked out from three pieces: what it charges to file, what it charges for the next two reports, and any minimum tax. Anything without a fixed price, newspaper notices for instance, is left out of that figure.

How first place was won

The 29% measure filings covered by the price separated the top two.

The bundle has little to add in this state, but it still won on filings covered per dollar.

With the EIN application included, Mainstay Filing overtakes Arizona Registered Agent.co in year 2.

Arizona LLC filing fee and requirements, as written by the state

You send the Articles of Organization (Form L010) and $50 to the Arizona Corporation Commission (Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 29-3201). Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

  • Publication: a notice runs three times within 60 days unless the statutory agent is in a county of more than 800,000 people, where the Commission posts it instead.

From the source: azcc.gov (pulled October 2026, noted here)

Skipping the service

Skip the services and Arizona still collects $50 across three years, while you fill out every form. Hiring help costs $397 to $597.
