Government side of the board, Utah
State reading = filing fee + reports in years 2 and 3 + any minimum tax. Items without a fixed amount stay out of the sum.
Why quote one is quote one
Filings handled per dollar put Mainstay Filing first. That term is 30% of the ranking; measured three-year cost, renewal drift, break-even year and price clarity make up the rest.
Filing the Annual Report/Renewal for you outweighed Utah Registered Agent.co's smaller three-year reading.
With the EIN application added, Mainstay Filing's cumulative cost passes Utah Registered Agent.co's in year 2.
Utah LLC filing fee and requirements, quoted from the source
For $59, the LLC comes into existence through the Certificate of Organization, delivered to the Utah Secretary of State. Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
Reference: commerce.utah.gov (logged October 2026) for the record
The no-service reading
With no service, three years read $95 in state fees. Each service adds its own quote, $397 to $597 over the same period.
