Virginia
Articles of Organization
$
100
To form an LLC in Virginia, you must file Articles of Organization with the State Corporation Commission. This foundational document requires basic details, including the LLC's name and registered agent information. The state charges a mandatory $100 filing fee, which applies to both online and paper submissions. Online filing through the Clerk’s Information System is recommended for faster processing.
Regarding ongoing compliance, Virginia is unique because it does not require LLCs to file a formal annual report. Instead, businesses must pay a $50 annual registration fee to maintain good standing. This fee is due every year by the last day of the month in which the LLC was originally formed. Failure to pay on time results in a $25 penalty and potential administrative cancellation of the business entity.
