Item Amount Source
Articles filing $59 commerce.utah.gov (pulled October 2026, noted here)
Annual Report/Renewal $18 every year corporations.utah.gov (pulled August 2026, noted here)

What the state collects by year 3 $95 Added from 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.

The reasoning behind the order

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

One agent price that works everywhere beat Utah Registered Agent.co's lower price for a single state.

Utah registered agent requirements, as written by the state (Utah Secretary of State)

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

A commercial registered agent listed with the state, a noncommercial agent (an individual or entity), or the holder of a named position in the company. Section on point: Utah Code § 16-17-203.

The address has to be an actual street address or rural route box number in Utah. A P.O. box can follow the street address but cannot replace it.
