Snapshot

Current filing and fee notes

Ongoing tax or fee rule

Delaware LLCs owe an annual franchise tax. That ongoing tax stays outside the fixed first-year total shown on BizTax.

Filing cadence

Annual franchise tax due each year; registered-agent service timing depends on the chosen provider.

Coverage snapshot

Delaware preview includes the filing fee only. The annual franchise tax, registered-agent pricing, and provider costs stay outside the fixed first-year total.

Variable costs not included in the fixed total

Delaware requires a registered agent. Provider pricing varies, so registered-agent cost stays outside the fixed first-year total.

01

Delaware rehearsal preview pages show fixed first-year costs first, then keep ongoing rules and variable-cost notes separate.

02

Use the state hub when you want the main side-by-side comparison across the current covered states.
