Starting an LLC in Utah
What it costs, what you file and what you owe afterwards. Every figure below came from the state's own pages.
Forming an LLC in Utah costs $59 to file the Certificate of Organization with the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code. After that, Annual Report (renewal) is due on the entity's anniversary date each year; filing late triggers an additional penalty.
What it costs
| What | Amount | When |
|---|---|---|
| Certificate of Organization | $59 | Once, when the LLC is formed |
| Annual Report (renewal) | $18 | On the entity's anniversary date each year; filing late triggers an additional penalty. |
Registered agent
Utah requires one. The agent, whether a person or a business, needs a Utah street address, and the Division sends all of its official mail to that address rather than to the company.
What you owe after year one
On the entity's anniversary date each year; filing late triggers an additional penalty.
Missing it is the most common way a good standing lapses, and restoring one costs more than filing on time.
Worth knowing
Fees come from the FY2026 schedule effective July 1, 2025; the $18 renewal includes a $5 state portal surcharge. An older renewal handout still posted on the Commerce site quotes $10, which the current schedule supersedes.
