Year-by-year readings
Prices as published November 13, 2026; year one, then renewals added in turn. None of the quotes cross in ten years.
Cost calculator
Readings for 1 to 5 years. State fees are left out because they match on every quote.
State fees with citations
State reading = filing fee + reports in years 2 and 3 + any minimum tax. Items without a fixed amount stay out of the sum.

Minnesota registered agent requirements, quoted from the source (Minnesota Secretary of State)
A Minnesota LLC must keep a registered office in Minnesota; naming an agent there is optional.
If one is named: a Minnesota resident, or a corporation or LLC formed in Minnesota or authorized there, with a business office at the registered office. Law cited: Minn. Stat. § 5.36.
Every Minnesota LLC keeps a registered office at an actual office location in Minnesota; a P.O. box by itself is not accepted.
