Wisconsin LLC Fees: What the State Charges in 2026
Wisconsin prices most business filings twice: one number for online submissions and a higher one for paper. Once you see that pattern, the whole DFI fee schedule makes sense. Here is every fee a Wisconsin LLC is likely to meet, with the statute behind each one.
Forming the LLC: $130 Online or $170 on Paper
Articles of Organization (DFI Form 502) run $130 when filed through DFI's e-filing system, which is the statutory fee under Wis. Stat. § 183.0122(2)(a)1. The paper route is $170, the higher charge § 183.0122(2)(c) permits the department to set. Expedited handling adds $100.
The Annual Report: $25 Online or $40 on Paper
Domestic LLCs file Form 5 each year for $25 online or $40 on paper; the paper figure includes a $15 surcharge. The report is due by the end of the calendar quarter containing your anniversary date. Filing late adds a $25 delinquency charge per delinquent year. Foreign LLCs registered in Wisconsin pay more, $65 online or $80 paper, and always file by March 31.
Swapping Registered Agents: $10 Online or $25 on Paper

Registered Agent Service: $99 a Year
Wisconsin law requires an agent continuously, so this is a recurring line. Our registered agent service is $99 per year, and if we form your LLC, the first year is already included.
