State costs
LLC cost by state
Compare reviewed pilot-state LLC costs on the public hub first. Single-state pages remain rehearsal detail routes for deeper filing notes, route-state review, and official sources.
Compare reviewed state totals
Compare one reviewed state in detail
Use the hub to compare reviewed first-year fixed costs first. Open a single pilot-state preview only when you want that state's filing cadence, exclusions, and source detail.
Focus a state
Keep the full pilot-state wall available, but use a searchable picker when you want one reviewed state instead of scanning the whole grid.

Pilot-state coverage
BizTax currently compares reviewed state-cost packages for 5 pilot states: Delaware, New York, Florida, Texas, and California. The hub lets you compare them side by side before opening any rehearsal page.
Reviewed package freshness
The active hub and pilot-state rehearsal routes currently use reviewed 2026 state fee packages, with the latest review visible from March 29, 2026.
Current pilot-state boundary
Only the current pilot states have detail rehearsal pages. Other states stay out until their official fees and core notes have been reviewed.
Pilot states: California, Florida, Texas, New York, and Delaware.
Coming soon: Additional states stay out until their official fees and filing notes have been reviewed.

Worked examples for pilot-state interpretation
Delaware as a straightforward fixed-cost state
Delaware is a straightforward reviewed example for 2026: the fixed total is $110.00, driven by the known state filing fee, while later ongoing taxes stay outside the first-year total.
Reviewed assumptions
- Only fixed known first-year state filing costs are included in the worked-example total.
Traceability checks
- The fixed total comes from the reviewed formation fee plus the first fixed report fee when year-one reporting applies.
New York when variable-cost notes change the reading
New York still shows a fixed reviewed total of $200.00 for 2026, but county-dependent publication costs and later annual-fee rules stay outside that headline number and materially affect how the route is best read.
Reviewed assumptions
- Variable, county-specific, or threshold-based state costs stay outside the fixed total and remain in notes.
Traceability checks
- Variable and threshold-based state obligations stay in notes instead of the fixed total.
California on a rehearsal-only pilot-state detail route
California keeps a reviewed rehearsal-preview total of $890.00 for 2026, but the detail route remains rehearsal-only and non-provider, so the example is used to explain the governed route state as well as the fixed-cost math.
Reviewed assumptions
- This worked example reflects the governed pilot-state detail preview path and remains non-provider.
- Only fixed known first-year state filing costs are included in the worked-example total.
Traceability checks
- The pilot-state detail example stays preview-only and keeps provider actions inactive.
