The 2026 Fee Schedule for a Pennsylvania LLC
Four numbers cover nearly everything Pennsylvania will ever bill your LLC: $125 once, $7 yearly, $5 when your address moves, and $250 if the company was born in another state. Each comes from the Department of State's fee schedule under 15 Pa.C.S. ยง 153. Here they are in context, along with our own flat pricing.
State Fees at a Glance
| Fee | Amount | Filing and form |
|---|---|---|
| Formation | $125 | Certificate of Organization, DSCB:15-8821 |
| Annual report | $7 per year | DSCB:15-146, January 1 to September 30 window |
| Registered office change | $5 | Statement of Change, DSCB:15-1507/5507/8625/8825 |
| Foreign LLC registration | $250 | Foreign Registration Statement, DSCB:15-412 |
Breaking Down the $125 Formation Fee
The $125 buys the filing of your Certificate of Organization along with its docketing statement (DSCB:15-134A) at the Bureau of Corporations and Charitable Organizations. It is a flat amount, identical whether you use the Business Filing Services portal or paper, and it is the only payment the Commonwealth requires to bring an LLC into existence. The formation walkthrough shows where the fee fits in the sequence.
The $7 Annual Report, and the $0 Exception
Ready to get started?
Get StartedEvery for-profit Pennsylvania LLC owes $7 with its yearly DSCB:15-146 report; an LLC with a not-for-profit purpose files the same report free. Miss the September 30 close of the window and Pennsylvania adds no penalty dollars at all. What it adds instead is jeopardy: administrative dissolution proceedings can open about six months later, once enforcement kicks in with the 2027 reporting year. Our annual requirements page walks the timeline.
Moving Your Registered Office for $5
Whenever the registered office changes, whether from a home address to a CROP or between providers, the Statement of Change of Registered Office goes to the Department of State with $5 attached. It files on paper or through the online portal.
Bringing an Out-of-State LLC In: $250
An LLC formed elsewhere that wants to operate in Pennsylvania registers with the Foreign Registration Statement (DSCB:15-412) and pays $250. We handle foreign qualification start to finish for $199 plus the state fees.

Year One, Added Up
$199 to us and $125 to Pennsylvania puts a new LLC on the books for $324 total, with registered office coverage already running. After that, a typical year looks like $7 to the state and $99 to us at renewal. No processing surcharges, no compliance bundles you did not ask for.
Where Pennsylvania Keeps It Cheap
Two structural breaks worth naming. The report carries no late fine, ever; the state's leverage is dissolution rather than a bill. And because an LLC may serve as its own registered office by listing its own street address, agent service in Pennsylvania is a choice you make for privacy and coverage, never a legal toll.
