A state filing ledger · 50 states + DC
An LLC formed in one state that operates in another registers there as a foreign LLC, and every one of these 51 jurisdictions charges its own fee for that filing. The fee belongs to a separate filing event from formation, so it enters no cost total on this site and is ranked only against itself.
The sentence beside each figure is the state's own scope for it, printed verbatim. Where a state prices online and paper filings differently, bundles other charges into the number, or scales it, that sentence is the fact, and this table derives no label from it.

sorted by the registration fee, ascending
The column ranks the figure each state publishes for this filing, not what any particular registration will cost. Where the scope sentence names a per-unit scale or an extra charge, the published figure can be the floor rather than the bill, and only that sentence says which.
Three boundaries, and naming them is part of the record. This page prices one filing and decides nothing about your obligation to make it.
This fee joins no formation total and no five-year total anywhere on this site, because it pays for a different filing than the ones those totals count. The cost ledger does not read it, and this page adds nothing to it.
outside every total
Registration is the entry fee. Most states then expect reports, taxes or both from a registered foreign LLC, and what each state expects is on that state's own record sheet, in its foreign-qualification section.

Whether your activity in a state amounts to transacting business there is a legal judgment, and the dataset behind this page does not carry it. This page prices the filing and never decides whether you owe one.
not a legal threshold
The cost ledger keeps this fee out of its totals, because it prices a different filing. Back to the 51-state index.
