How Much Does It Cost to Form a Mississippi LLC?
Mississippi is one of the lowest LLC filing fees in the country. But the state filing fee is only part of the picture. This page breaks down every cost you'll encounter — formation, ongoing compliance, and optional services — so there are no surprises.
State Filing Fee
The Mississippi Secretary of State charges $50 to file your Articles of Organization. This is a one-time fee paid when you form the LLC. At $50, Mississippi is one of the cheapest states to file in.
Annual / Recurring State Fees
Mississippi requires an annual report, but there is no state fee attached. You still need to file it on time to stay in good standing.
Mississippi tax note: Annual report is required but has NO filing fee. Due by April 15 each year. Filing window opens January 1. Mississippi has no expedited processing option.
Registered Agent Cost
Every Mississippi LLC is required to maintain a registered agent. With our formation package, the first year of registered agent service is included. After that, ongoing service is $99/year.
Expedited Processing
Mississippi doesn't offer a widely used expedited option. Standard processing runs 5-10 business days, which is the timeline most filers work with.
