FilingOak · LLC Formation by State
Kentucky LLC Formation Service
Kentucky's domestic LLC formation fee is $40, making the standard FilingOak order $535.
The first annual report has a clean timing boundary: the LLC reports in the year after formation, not a few weeks after a late-year filing. The ordinary annual report fee is $15.
Formation begins an annual state calendar
The $535 order is separate from Kentucky's $15 annual report
| Order component | Amount |
|---|---|
| FilingOak LLC Formation service | $495 |
| Kentucky FilingOak state-side amount | $40 |
| Standard FilingOak order | $535 |
The first Kentucky annual report starts in the next calendar year
Kentucky annual reports are filed from January 1 through June 30. A newly formed LLC enters that reporting cycle in the year after formation, which keeps a December formation from creating an immediate June-style deadline in the same year.
If you later want FilingOak to handle the recurring state filing rather than self-file it, the Annual Report Filing service is separate from LLC formation.
Kentucky still needs the agent and organizer behind the $40 filing
Kentucky's Articles and One Stop workflow require the registered-agent and entity details applicable to the LLC. FilingOak prepares the filing and Operating Agreement from the actual management and ownership information supplied by the founder.
Kentucky's public record begins with the organizer and registered agent
Kentucky's filing and later annual report keep the registered-agent and other required company information on the state record. Public Record Address Privacy is limited to eligible fields and cannot erase people or addresses the filing actually requires.
Kentucky gives the annual report a six-month filing window
The current annual report fee is $15 and the filing window runs January 1 through June 30. The first report arrives in the calendar year after formation.

DIY is a low-cost option if the June 30 report window is easy to manage
Kentucky's $40 Articles fee makes direct filing attractive for a founder who already understands the form and has a registered agent. The $495 FilingOak service is not justified by pretending a low-cost state form is difficult to access.
The value is in having the filing and the rest of the defined package handled together.
