What you pay, and when
| To form it | $120.00, once. |
| Every year after | $80.00. Filed online between January 1 and March 31, every year, starting the year after you form. Connecticut takes it online only — there is no paper version of this one. |
| If you miss it | No fine. While it is overdue you cannot get a certificate of legal existence, which is what a bank or a landlord asks for, and the Secretary of the State can dissolve the company outright. |
| Registered agent | Required, and the form is blunt about it: the LLC may not be its own agent. It has to be a person who lives in Connecticut — a member or manager of your own LLC counts — or a business entity other than yours, and the agent has to sign accepting the job. |
Do it yourself
You file this directly with the state. There is nobody in the middle who has to be paid to do it, and nothing on this page is a Base888 charge — the fees above are paid to Connecticut.
