Arizona Anonymous LLC: Partial Anonymity Through Manager-Managed Structure

Arizona allows partial anonymity via manager-managed LLCs. Members are not disclosed, but managers are. Here is how it works and when to consider a Tier 1 state instead.

By Shafwan Ahmed, Operations & Fulfillment Lead, Anonymousllc.co

Updated May 2026

How partial anonymity works in Arizona

Arizona allows manager-managed LLCs where only the manager is listed on the Articles of Organization. Members are not required to be disclosed if the LLC is manager-managed. However, the manager's name is always public. Arizona does not require an annual report, which reduces ongoing obligations.

Disclosure requirements

Disclosure typeArizonaWyoming (Tier 1)
Member disclosureNot required (if manager-managed)Not required
Manager disclosureRequired on ArticlesNot required
Filing fee$50$100
Annual costNone (no annual report)$60
State income taxYes (2.5% flat)None

Limitations of Arizona partial anonymity

  • Manager name always disclosed
  • Only beneficial for Arizona residents - no out-of-state privacy advantage
  • Charging order protection is moderate
  • State income tax of 2.5%
  • Limited case law on single-member charging order protection
  • No DAPT or Series LLC comparable to Wyoming

Recommendation

Arizona partial anonymity benefits Arizona residents who want to keep member names off filings while operating locally. For buyers outside Arizona or those who want true anonymity, Wyoming ($397) or New Mexico ($347) is the better choice.

Better alternative: form in a Tier 1 state

For true anonymity where neither members nor managers are disclosed, form in Wyoming ($397), New Mexico ($347 = $297 + $50 state), Delaware ($407 = $297 + $110 state), or Nevada ($722 = $297 + $425 state). If you need to operate in Arizona, you can foreign-qualify your Tier 1 LLC here.

Arizona anonymous LLC FAQ

Arizona lists the statutory agent and, in a member-managed LLC, the members on the Articles of Organization filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission. In a manager-managed LLC, only managers are named. Either way, at least one real person appears in the public eCorp database, so Arizona does not deliver full anonymity.
Arizona uses the term statutory agent for what most states call a registered agent. The statutory agent accepts legal and state documents on the LLC's behalf, and the agent's name and Arizona street address are public on the Articles of Organization. Using a commercial statutory agent keeps your home address off the filing but not your ownership.
No. Arizona is one of the few states with no LLC annual report and no recurring report fee, so once your LLC is formed you have no yearly filing to renew. That lowers maintenance cost, but it does not add privacy, since your formation record stays public permanently.
The Arizona Corporation Commission charges a $50 filing fee for the Articles of Organization, with an optional expedite fee for faster processing. There is no annual report cost afterward. By comparison, a Wyoming anonymous LLC is $397 all-in and keeps both members and managers off the public record.
Yes. Arizona applies a 2.5% flat state income tax, so profits that pass through your LLC to you are taxed at the Arizona rate if you are a resident. Forming in a no-income-tax state such as Wyoming does not remove Arizona tax on income you earn as an Arizona resident.
If you live and operate in Arizona and only want member names off the filing, manager-managed Arizona gives partial cover. For true anonymity where neither members nor managers appear, form in Wyoming ($397) or New Mexico ($347 total), then foreign-qualify in Arizona if you have local operations.
