Arizona LLC formation
Form an LLC in Arizona.
Arizona is one of the few states that asks nothing of an LLC after formation — no annual report, no annual fee. There are two costs that do not appear on the fee schedule, and we would rather you heard about them here.

Why founders choose Arizona
What a Arizona LLC gives you.
1
No annual report, genuinely
Arizona's annual report requirement applies to corporations, not LLCs. There is no yearly filing and no yearly fee, which over a decade is a real saving against California's $800 or North Carolina's $200. For a dormant holding entity this is close to the cheapest structure in the country to keep alive.
2
A $50 filing fee
Arizona ties Colorado for the lowest formation fee on this site. Paying the $35 expedite brings the total to $85 and cuts the wait to a few business days, which for most founders is money well spent given the standard queue.
3
Suited to long-term, low-activity entities
Because the ongoing cost is zero, Arizona works well for entities you intend to hold rather than run hard — a property holding company, a dormant IP entity, a business you expect to be quiet for a few years. The trade-off is that the setup friction is front-loaded.
Worth knowing before you choose
Two costs are not on the fee schedule. First, the standard queue has recently run between 9 and 22 business days, not the two-to-four days most formation sites quote; the $35 expedite is effectively mandatory if you are in a hurry. Second, Arizona requires a newly formed LLC to publish notice of its formation in an Arizona Corporation Commission approved newspaper in the statutory agent's county, for three consecutive publications. Only entities whose statutory agent sits in Maricopa or Pima county are exempt, because the Commission publishes for them automatically. Elsewhere this typically runs $30 to $300 and carries a hard deadline.

FAQ
Questions about Arizona LLCs.
Specific answers for forming and running an LLC in Arizona.
View full pricing →Do I really pay nothing every year in Arizona?
To the state, correct — Arizona requires no LLC annual report and charges no annual fee. You still pay your Registered Agent, and you still have federal obligations. But the state line item is genuinely zero, which is unusual.
What is the newspaper publication requirement?
After your LLC is approved, Arizona requires notice of its formation to be published in an Arizona Corporation Commission approved newspaper in your statutory agent's county, three consecutive times. If your agent's address is in Maricopa or Pima county you are exempt, because the Commission publishes on its own website instead. Outside those two counties, budget roughly $30 to $300 and treat the deadline as real.
How long does an Arizona LLC actually take?
Recent Commission postings put the standard queue between 9 and 22 business days depending on backlog. The $35 expedite brings it to roughly 3 to 5 business days. We quote the standard range rather than the expedited one because that is what you get if you do not pay extra.
Do I need to live in Arizona to form an LLC there?
No. Arizona has no residency or citizenship requirement for members. You need a statutory agent with a physical Arizona address, which RazorFile provides — and note that the county of that address is what determines whether the publication requirement applies to you.
Do I need to understand US legal paperwork?
No. RazorFile keeps the process plain-language and organised so you know what is needed, what is paid, and what happens next at every stage of your order.
What is a Registered Agent and do I need one?
A Registered Agent is required for every US LLC, regardless of where you live. They receive official government and legal correspondence on your company's behalf at a physical address in your formation state. RazorFile provides this service.
