FilingOak · LLC Formation by State
New York LLC Formation Service
New York's Articles of Organization carry a $200 state fee, while FilingOak's state-side amount is $205. The standard FilingOak order is $700.
That still does not answer the first-year cost question because most New York LLCs also face the publication requirement. Newspaper prices vary by county, so the variable publication cost cannot honestly be replaced with one invented statewide number.
Three connected systems
The $700 FilingOak order comes before New York publication costs
| Order component | Amount |
|---|---|
| FilingOak LLC Formation service | $495 |
| New York FilingOak state-side amount | $205 |
| Standard FilingOak order | $700 |
Publication is a real cost, but not one statewide price
Most New York LLCs publish notice once a week for six consecutive weeks in two newspapers designated by the county clerk. After the run, the LLC files a Certificate of Publication and currently pays the Department of State $50. The newspaper charges are private and vary by county.
The 120-day publication rule has a specific consequence
If the LLC does not satisfy publication within 120 days, New York states that its authority to carry on, conduct or transact business is suspended. The LLC does not simply vanish, but publication is not decorative paperwork.
The $9 Biennial Statement is not New York's tax filing fee
The Department of State Biennial Statement costs $9 every two years. Separately, certain LLCs with New York-source activity file IT-204-LL and may owe an annual filing fee based on classification and New York-source gross income. Those are different systems.
New York formation is only the first of three state systems
New York forms a domestic LLC through Articles of Organization and requires a registered agent/service-of-process arrangement under state law. FilingOak keeps the $205 state-side formation amount separate from the later newspaper and Certificate-of-Publication costs.
Publication adds another public layer after the Articles
The formation filing and later publication create public information about the company. FilingOak can use Public Record Address Privacy only in eligible filing fields; it cannot turn a New York publication requirement into anonymity or promise that a bank or tax agency will accept the same address.
New York has three different post-formation systems that should not be blended
Publication is a first-formation consequence. The $9 Biennial Statement is a Department of State filing every two years in the anniversary month. IT-204-LL is a separate tax filing that can apply based on the LLC's classification and New York-source activity.
FilingOak does not guess a newspaper price or tax filing fee into the $700 formation order.

New York DIY still leaves the publication work with you
New York can be self-filed, but DIY includes finding the county-designated newspapers, completing six weeks of publication and filing proof afterward. For some founders, handling that directly is still worth saving the $495 service fee.
FilingOak is more useful when the buyer wants the formation package and publication-aware recordkeeping handled without pretending the variable newspaper bill is already included.
