How Much Does It Cost to Form an Idaho LLC?
Idaho is one of the more affordable states to form an LLC. 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 Idaho Secretary of State charges $100 to file your Articles of Organization. This is a one-time fee paid when you form the LLC.
Annual / Recurring State Fees
Idaho requires an annual report, but there is no state fee attached. You still need to file it on time to stay in good standing.
Idaho tax note: Annual report is required but has NO filing fee ($0). Due by end of anniversary month. LLC will be dissolved if report is not filed. Filed online through SOSBiz system.
Registered Agent Cost
Every Idaho LLC is required to maintain a registered agent. With our formation package, the first year of registered agent service is included. After that, ongoing service is $99/year.
Expedited Processing
If you need your LLC formed faster, the Idaho Secretary of State offers expedited processing for $20. This typically reduces the turnaround from 3-5 business days to Same day.
