Every official charge for forming and keeping an LLC in Missouri in 2026: a $50 filing fee for the Articles of Organization, a first-year minimum of $50, the documents the state asks for, and the filing office's own phone, website and portal — read from the state's published sources, not a filing service's price list.
Forming an LLC in Missouri: you pay $50 to file the Articles of Organization with the Missouri Secretary of State. With the mandatory year-one charges counted, your first-year minimum is $50; after that the recurring state cost is no fixed recurring state charge.
Every figure comes from the state's own published fee schedule or statute (the page lists its official sources) and was checked on 3 November 2026. The first-year minimum is the cheapest filing channel plus the fixed mandatory charges that fall due in year one; annual report fees fall due after year one, and variable charges such as newspaper publication have no fixed amount, so both are shown separately rather than folded into the total.
Filing the Articles of Organization costs $50 at the cheapest channel. Counting the mandatory state charges that fall due in year one, the first-year minimum is $50. Registered-agent services and local licences are extra and are not state charges.
