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.

Why this order for Arizona

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

AZ Registered Agent.org is less expensive here, but working in all fifty states carried more weight.

Arizona statutory agent requirements, as written by the state (Arizona Corporation Commission)

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

An Arizona resident, or a corporation or LLC formed in Arizona or authorized to do business there. The appointment takes effect only once the agent accepts it in writing. Section on point: A.R.S. § 29-3115.

The address has to be a place of business or residence in Arizona with a street address. A P.O. box can be listed only as a separate Arizona mailing address.

The state says: azleg.gov (pulled October 2026, noted here)

Filing it yourself

Qualifying owners lose nothing by serving as their own statutory agent. The services listed charge $99 to $149 a year for the in-state address.
