Alaska LLC cost
Forming an LLC in Alaska costs $300 in state fees in year one, then about $100 a year to stay in good standing.
Forming a Alaska LLC
You file Articles of Organization (Domestic LLC) with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing (Corporations Section). The state fee is $250. See the official fee.

Every year after
- Biennial Report: $100, filed every two years. Due: January 2 every two years: even-numbered years if the LLC was formed in an even year, odd-numbered years if formed in an odd year.
- First one: January 2 of the second calendar year after the formation year (the next year with the same odd/even parity).
- If you're late: Late fee penalty applies to reports filed after February 1; failure to file can lead to involuntary dissolution.

State taxes that apply even to a small LLC
- Alaska Business License: $50 — Not a tax, but a state business license is required before engaging in business (AS 43.70): $50 for 1 year or $100 for 2 years. No state franchise or minimum tax on LLCs or corporations. source
Worth knowing
- Reports are biennial, not annual: $100 for domestic LLCs/corps, $200 for foreign, $25 for nonprofits.
- Report year follows formation-year parity (even-year formations file in even years).
- A separate state business license ($50/year or $100/2 years) is required to do business.
- Foreign entities pay double the domestic biennial report fee ($200).
Registered agent
Alaska requires a registered agent. Must maintain a registered agent in Alaska; agent changes cost $25. You can serve as your own agent if you have a qualifying address; paid services usually charge a yearly fee.
