New York LLC — Frequently Asked Questions

What is New York's LLC publication requirement?

Within 120 days of formation, New York LLCs must publish a notice in two newspapers (one daily, one weekly) for six consecutive weeks in the county where the LLC's office is located. After publication, you file a Certificate of Publication with the Department of State ($50 fee). Publication costs vary dramatically by county — Manhattan can cost $1,500+, while some upstate counties cost under $200.

How much does it cost to form an LLC in New York?

The filing fee for Articles of Organization is $200, one of the higher fees in the country. Adding the publication requirement ($200-$2,000+ depending on county) and the Certificate of Publication ($50), total startup costs can range from $450 to $2,250+.

What happens if I don't complete the publication requirement?

If you fail to publish within 120 days, your LLC's authority to conduct business in New York is suspended. The LLC still exists, but it cannot sue or defend itself in New York courts. You can cure this by completing the publication at any time and filing the Certificate of Publication.

What are the ongoing filing requirements?

New York LLCs must file a Biennial Statement with the Department of State every two years. The fee is only $9. New York also requires LLCs to file state income tax returns if they have New York-source income.
