FilingOak · LLC Formation by State
North Carolina LLC Formation Service
North Carolina's statutory Articles of Organization fee is $125, while FilingOak's state-side amount is $128. The standard FilingOak order is $623.
The first annual report does not arrive in the formation year. It begins the year after creation and is due April 15, which gives a new LLC a clean first compliance boundary.
Formation begins an annual state calendar
The $623 order is separate from North Carolina's annual report
| Order component | Amount |
|---|---|
| FilingOak LLC Formation service | $495 |
| North Carolina FilingOak state-side amount | $128 |
| Standard FilingOak order | $623 |
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.
North Carolina distinguishes the annual-report base fee from the online total
The statutory LLC annual-report fee is $200. Current online totals are $203 by credit card or $202 by ACH. Those small payment differences should not be flattened into a single number without saying which one is being described.
The first report is due the year after formation
A domestic LLC's first annual report is due April 15 in the calendar year after creation. That timing belongs in the formation decision because it prevents an unnecessary same-year report from being added to the calendar.
North Carolina formation starts the April 15 calendar
North Carolina's Articles require the registered-agent and company information called for by the Secretary of State. FilingOak prepares the filing and internal documents from the actual ownership and management facts provided for the LLC.
North Carolina's annual report keeps company information public
The public record can include the registered agent, addresses and management information reported through the formation and annual report. Public Record Address Privacy is limited to eligible fields and does not override North Carolina's disclosure requirements.
April 15 starts in the year after formation
The statutory annual-report fee is $200, with current online totals slightly higher depending on payment method. The first report is due April 15 in the year after the LLC is created.
