Forming an LLC in Utah costs $59 to file, then $18 a year to keep in good standing, if you're your own registered agent.
Utah is cheap at both ends: a low filing fee and one of the smallest yearly renewals in the country, due by the end of your formation anniversary month. Change any choice below, or compare any state in the LLC cost calculator.
Year one counts the filing, set-up items and any tax charged for the year you form. Yearly reports sit under "every year after" even when the first one lands inside your first 12 months; the due dates tab shows exactly when. Taxes that depend on profit or sales are explained, not counted. Not legal or tax advice.

The fee schedule
Assumes you are your own registered agent, file at standard speed and owe no tax based on profit or sales. Figures from Utah's own pages, checked 21 October 2026. Not legal or tax advice.
File it yourself on Utah’s own filing site. You only need a formation service if you want someone else to be your registered agent, or to handle the forms for you. If you’ll run the business from another state, set “Where you’ll run the business” in the calculator: it adds what registering back home costs.
Every service, with its own registered agent price after year one, which is where most of the money is. Cheapest over five years first.

State fees for Utah are included. Some links are partner links: if you buy, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes the order, which is always cheapest first. How partner links work.
