Scope: a standard domestic LLC at standard processing speed, filed online where the online and paper fees differ. The figure shown is the one the cited page states; an add-on or a paper fee that the page also states is in the note under the figure, and nothing is computed from a note.

Arizona LLC filing fee

$50 to file the Articles of Organization

Official pages disagree

CONFLICT between two official pages: the fee schedule https://azcc.gov/docs/default-source/corps-files/fee-schedules/fee-schedule-llcs.pdf (Rev. 3.2026), the form L010 and the instructions L010i all give $50.00 for regular processing (+$35.00 expedited = $85.00); the FAQ page https://azcc.gov/faqs/BusinessServicesFAQs says 'You can file Articles of Organization online for $85'. The fee schedule value is recorded, per the contract. A reader filing online may be charged $85.

These are the words of the researcher who read the pages. A figure shown here is the one stated by the page cited under it. Ask the office which applies before you pay.

Note from the reading The LLC fee schedule (Rev. 3.2026) lists $50.00 for regular processing and $85.00 for expedited processing; the form L010 says 'Filing Fee: $50.00 (regular processing)'. The Commission's FAQ says 'You can file Articles of Organization online for $85', which equals the expedited total. See researcher_notes.

Arizona LLC periodic report and due date

No annual report required

The page read says an LLC files no annual or periodic report in Arizona. Its words are quoted below.

“No, LLCs are not required to file annual reports. Only corporations are required to file annual reports.”

Arizona LLC annual tax or franchise tax

not read

Not read. No official statement was read today on whether the state charges LLCs an annual, franchise or privilege tax separate from the report fee.

Not read is not the same as no tax. It means no official page was read that says whether Arizona charges an LLC an annual, franchise or privilege tax separate from the report fee.

Publication requirement

Required

The rule A notice of the filing of the Articles of Organization must be published after the Commission approves the filing. If the statutory agent's street address is in Maricopa or Pima county the notice is published automatically on the Commission's website; outside those counties the LLC must publish the notice in a newspaper, following the instructions in the approval letter.

“Is publication required? Yes. See A.R.S. § 29-3201. A notice of the filing of the Articles of Organization is required to be published.”

Looked for and not read

  • Any annual LLC tax or franchise tax (no Department of Revenue page was read).
  • What a newspaper publication costs: the Commission's pages do not state it.
  • Whether an online filing can be made at the $50.00 regular-processing fee.

Fees change. The state's own page is the authority: open the source link beside a figure before you file or pay. This desk is a reading of public pages. It is not legal advice and it is not tax advice.
