Georgia 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.
The Georgia Secretary of State charges $100 to file your Articles of Organization. This is a one-time fee paid when you form the LLC.
Georgia charges $50 for the annual report (filed each year). Miss it, and you risk late fees and eventually administrative dissolution.
Georgia tax note: Annual registration $50 base + $10 service fee = $60 total for online filing. Due between January 1 and April 1 each year. Effective September 6, 2025, filing fees updated.

Get StartedIf you form through us, our formation service is $199, which covers preparing and filing your formation document with the state. Add the $100 state filing fee, and your total to get formed is $299. Registered agent service ($99/year) is available as a separate add-on — bring it to $398 for your first year if you add it.
After year one, your ongoing costs are: $99/year for registered agent + $50/year for the annual report.
Many LLC formation services charge similar-priced services but then tack on upsells: compliance packages, rush fees, unnecessary add-ons. Our service covers preparing and filing your formation document with the state.
