How Much Does an Arizona LLC Cost? Full 2026 Breakdown
Arizona LLC costs for non-residents: state filing fee, statutory agent, publication, EIN and banking, plus why Arizona has almost no recurring state costs, with five-year comparisons.
Arizona combines one of the lowest formation fees in the USA with almost no recurring state costs for LLCs. That makes it one of the cheapest states to own a company in over several years. Here is the full picture, so you know exactly what to budget.
One-time costs
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| State filing fee (articles of organisation) | About $50 |
| Statutory agent (first year) | $50 with UCB |
| Our formation + EIN service | $99 |
| Total, LLC + EIN | $199 |
| Publication (only if required) | Varies by newspaper |
| Expedited state processing (optional) | Extra state fee |
Publication applies only if your LLC's address is outside Maricopa and Pima counties. Most of our clients use an address in a county where publication is not required. See the Arizona publication requirement.
Annual costs
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Annual report (LLC) | $0, not required |
| State franchise tax | $0, none |
| Statutory agent renewal | Required every year |
| Federal tax filing (Form 5472 + pro forma 1120) | $300 with UCB |
| Arizona income tax | Only on Arizona-source income |

Costs that can surprise you
- Arizona TPT (transaction privilege tax) if you sell taxable goods or services into Arizona above the thresholds. See Arizona business taxes.
- Registering in another state if you operate somewhere else.
- Changes to the articles (new members, name change), which have small state fees.
- The federal filing, which every foreign-owned LLC must make every year, in every state. Missing it costs $25,000. See Form 5472 explained.
Arizona corporations cost a little more
A corporation costs about $60 to form and files an annual report each year. See Arizona corporation for non-residents.
