About Pennsylvania LLC.org
Pennsylvania LLC.org forms Pennsylvania LLCs for a $199 service fee plus Pennsylvania's state fees, with the first year of Pennsylvania registered agent service included.
What it costs
Pennsylvania LLC formation: $199 our fee + $125 Pennsylvania state filing fee = $324 due today. The first year of registered agent service is included; it renews at $99/year after 12 months.
Foreign registration into Pennsylvania (for a company formed in another state): $199 our fee + $250 Pennsylvania state fees = $449. The first year of registered agent service is included.
EIN (federal tax ID) application: $99. The IRS charges no fee for an EIN. Founders with no SSN or ITIN add $99 for international processing.
State fees are shown separately from our fee. We collect them with your order and pay them to the state at cost when we file.
What it leaves out
- The state's filing fee and any mandatory state expedite fee. They are listed separately above, collected with your order and paid to the state.
- The federal EIN (tax ID number). That is a separate service: $99.
- An operating agreement.
- BOI / FinCEN beneficial-ownership reporting.
- Legal or tax advice. We are a filing service, not a law firm.
What our formation service covers
- Preparation and filing of your LLC's formation document (the Articles of Organization or Pennsylvania's equivalent) with the state.
- Delivery of the state-returned formation documents to your online account.
- Your first year of Pennsylvania registered agent service. It renews at $99/year after 12 months.
The process
Standard Pennsylvania processing for a new LLC takes 1–2 business days after we file.
State processing times are set by the state and can change.
Pennsylvania rules to know
If your notes still mention a "decennial report," they are a regime out of date. Act 122 of 2022 repealed Pennsylvania's ten-year filing and created a genuine annual report, codified at 15 Pa.C.S. § 146, that took effect with calendar year 2025. Here is what a Pennsylvania LLC owes the state every year now, and what happens when a filing slips.
A for-profit LLC pays $7 with each report. An LLC organized for a not-for-profit purpose pays $0. That is the whole price; there is no separate franchise levy attached to this filing.
If you are shopping for a Pennsylvania registered agent, start with a fact most sites skip: Pennsylvania statutes never require an LLC to appoint an agent at all. The actual rule, 15 Pa.C.S. § 8825, says every LLC "shall have and continuously maintain in this Commonwealth a registered office." What the rest of the country calls a registered agent, Pennsylvania handles through that office requirement, and a paid service fills the role by acting as a Commercial Registered Office Provider (CROP) under 15 Pa.C.S. § 109.

Renewals, cancellation and refunds
Registered agent service renews automatically for another year on each renewal date, unless you turn off auto-renewal or cancel in your online account, or give written notice at least 30 days before the renewal date. Renewal reminders go out about 60 days ahead.
You can cancel at any time from your online account or by contacting support. Cancelling does not by itself remove us as registered agent on the state record; a change of registered agent or resignation filing does that.
Anything already filed with the government is not refundable. Registered agent fees are not refundable once we or our partner have been appointed with the state. State fees are not refundable once paid to the state.
Questions about Pennsylvania LLC.org
How much does it cost to form an LLC in Pennsylvania with you?
$199 our fee + $125 Pennsylvania state filing fee = $324 due today.
Do I need a registered agent for my Pennsylvania LLC?
Yes. Every LLC registered with the Pennsylvania Secretary of State is required to maintain a registered agent with a physical Pennsylvania address. This is true from the moment you file your formation documents and remains true for as long as the LLC exists. Our registered agent service: first year included with your LLC, then $99/year. Renewals are billed at $119/year.
How do I get an EIN for my Pennsylvania LLC?
Apply directly on IRS.gov — it's free and takes about 10 minutes. You'll receive your EIN immediately after completing the online application. Never pay a third party for an EIN. If you'd like assistance with the EIN application, we offer it as a separate paid add-on. The IRS application is always free directly.
What's included in your formation service?
Our $199 service covers Articles of Organization preparation, review, and filing with the Pennsylvania Secretary of State. The $125 state filing fee is paid separately. Registered agent service: first year included with your LLC, then $99/year. Operating agreement and EIN assistance are available as separate optional services.
Does Pennsylvania require an annual report for LLCs?
Yes, every year. The fee is $7. Missing the filing deadline can lead to late fees and eventually administrative dissolution by the Pennsylvania Secretary of State.
