What does forming an LLC in Louisiana cost?
Louisiana charges $100 to register an LLC and we file it for $100 flat. Forming an LLC in Louisiana covers what the state wants and what it costs.
What else does Louisiana require of an LLC?
Louisiana requires an annual report ($30 to the state) and a registered agent at all times, plus sales tax registration if you sell taxable goods.
Sales tax registration
Free from the state, and only if you sell taxable goods. Louisiana parishes collect their own sales tax separately from the state. More on Louisiana reseller permits.
Registered agent
Every Louisiana LLC has to name one. It can be you at no cost if you have a street address in the state. Ours is $99 a year and optional, with no first year that quietly becomes a renewal.
Trade name, if you use one
$75 to the state, plus our $50. Louisiana trade name registration lasts 10 years, which is why the state fee is higher than most. The fee rises on October 1, 2026.
What else do people ask about the Louisiana annual report?
$30 to the Louisiana Secretary of State. Our fee to prepare and file it is $50, so $80 in total.
Late consequences are set by Louisiana and range from a penalty to administrative dissolution, which means the state stops recognising your company until you fix it. The cost of being late is always higher than the cost of the report, and reinstatement is a separate filing with its own fee. We do not publish a penalty figure for every state because those change without notice; the Louisiana Secretary of State publishes the current one.
The report is about the company existing, not about what it earned. A dormant LLC with no revenue owes the same report as a busy one for as long as it is registered. If you are done with the company, dissolving it is what stops the obligation.
