Year-1 cost table

|---|---|---|
| Articles of Organization (Arizona Corporation Commission) | $50 | cite |
| Maricopa/Pima County Publication (if applicable) | $40-80 | cite |
| Registered Agent (Northwest, annual) | $125 | cite |
| Expedited Processing (optional, 3-day) | $35 | cite |
| Year-1 Total (with publication, standard processing) | $215-255 | cite |
Two cost drivers underneath the table: Articles of Organization filing (a one-time fee per filing) and registered agent fees (an ongoing yearly service). Both are line-itemed above.
Annual filing deadline
Arizona does not require an annual report—only an annual statutory agent verification filed online at no cost, due each year by the anniversary of your formation date.
