Most state filings price themselves in pieces — one fee for the Articles, another for an expedited option, a third for a certificate of good standing, and an annual report on top. The list below is what actually hits your card (or the state's portal) when you form a Kansas LLC with us.
Year one
Form LLC service fee — $299 flat. Covers Articles of Organization, federal EIN, custom operating agreement, and one year of resident agent service in Kansas.
Kansas state filing fee — $160. Paid directly to the Kansas Secretary of State at time of filing. Non-refundable once submitted.
First-year total — $459. That's every dollar required to form a Kansas LLC with a stamped certificate, EIN, and a bank-ready operating agreement in hand.
Kansas note
Filing fee: $160 online, $165 by mail.
What happens after year one
Kansas biennial report: $50 every two years.
Kansas tax notes: Filing fee: $160 online, $165 by mail. Biennial Information Report: $50 online, $55 by mail. Switched from annual to biennial in January 2024. Due April 15 for calendar-year filers.
Resident agent service is $119/year after the included first year. It's optional — you can designate yourself, an employee, or a different commercial agent at any time by filing a change-of-agent form with the Kansas Secretary of State.
What the $299 is not
The $299 is a flat service fee. It is not:
A legal fee. Form LLC is a document filing service, not a law firm. If you need legal advice on your operating agreement or liability exposure, talk to a Kansas attorney.
A tax fee. We prepare your EIN application and deliver the IRS confirmation, but we do not prepare tax returns.
A tiered price. There is no "basic" or "premium" — the same $299 gets every customer the same four things. No upsells at checkout.
