Every official charge for forming an LLC in Georgia in 2026: the filing fee, the other mandatory state costs, the documents you need, and the filing office's own contact details — taken from the state's published sources, not from a filing service.
| Charge | Amount |
|---|---|
| Filing fee — Articles of Organization | $110 |
| First-year minimum total | $110 |
The total is the cheapest filing channel plus the fixed mandatory charges that fall due in year one. Variable charges are listed at “No fixed fee” and are not folded into the total.

| Paper / by mail filing | $110 |
Corporations Division Filing Fees effective September 6, 2025: Articles of Organization (LLC) $100.00 + $10.00 service charge = $110.00 for BOTH online and paper filing. The Corporations Division's LLC filing procedures (Rev. 9/2025) state the same: 'The fee to file is $110.00 ($100 filing fee + $10 service charge).' Older guidance showing a lower online total is superseded by the September 6, 2025 schedule.
Articles of Organization: Filed with the Secretary of State, Corporations Division, online via eCorp or by mail/hand-delivery with Transmittal Information Form 231 (Form CD 030 is the paper Articles template).
File through the official portal above — third-party filing services charge extra for the same filing.
Georgia requires a annual report — fee $60.
Annual Registration is due between January 1 and April 1 of each calendar year; the initial Annual Registration is due between January 1 and April 1 of the year following the calendar year of formation.
Georgia calls its recurring filing an Annual Registration, not an annual report. Corporations Division fee schedule (effective September 6, 2025) and the Annual Registration guide both list LLC Annual Registration at $60.00 online and $60.00 paper ($50 fee + $10 service charge). A $25 late-filing penalty also appears on the schedule.
