How Much Does It Cost to Form a New Mexico LLC?
New Mexico is one of the lowest LLC filing fees in the country. But the state filing fee is only part of the picture. This page breaks down every cost you'll encounter — formation, ongoing compliance, and optional services — so there are no surprises.
State Filing Fee
The New Mexico Secretary of State charges $50 to file your Articles of Organization. This is a one-time fee paid when you form the LLC. At $50, New Mexico is one of the cheapest states to file in.
Annual / Recurring State Fees
New Mexico does not require an annual report from LLCs. This is one of a handful of states with no recurring state filing obligation for standard LLCs.
New Mexico tax note: No annual report required. No franchise tax. Online filing now mandatory as of December 2024 (paper no longer accepted). One of the most affordable and maintenance-free states for LLCs.
