What you pay, and when
| To form it | $125.00, once. |
| Every year after | $7.00. File between January 1 and September 30 each year. The requirement is new — it started on January 1 2025, so a Pennsylvania LLC formed before then may never have filed one. |
| If you miss it | No fine. From the reports due in 2027, not filing means administrative dissolution six months after the due date — your name becomes available for somebody else and you cannot get a subsistence certificate. Reports due in 2025 and 2026 carry no penalty. |
| Registered agent | Required. You can be your own if you have a street address in Pennsylvania and do not mind it being public. |
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 Pennsylvania.
