A Utah LLC costs $356 all-in for year one through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $59 state filing fee. Utah adds an $18 annual renewal and a $100/year registered agent from year two, plus a flat 4.55% income tax on Utah-sourced income. This breakdown covers every mandatory fee, the ongoing costs, and how Utah compares to the four anonymous-LLC states.
The Utah Secretary of State charges a $59 filing fee for the Articles of Organization, paid once at formation. This is the only mandatory state fee due at filing time. The $59 fee is fixed regardless of how the LLC is managed or how many members it has. Paying it directly is the cheapest way to register the entity, but it covers only the state filing, not the name check, operating agreement, EIN, or bank applications. Anonymousllc.co bundles the state fee with those services in a single $356 all-in price. There is no separate expedite fee required for the standard 1-3 business day acceptance.
A Utah LLC costs near $118/year to maintain from year two: an $18 annual renewal plus $100/year for a commercial registered agent. Utah also applies a flat 4.55% income tax to income sourced to the state. The $18 renewal keeps the LLC in good standing and is filed online with the Secretary of State each year. The $100/year registered agent is optional only if the owner has a Utah street address and accepts service in person, which most non-residents and privacy-focused owners avoid. Missing the renewal risks administrative dissolution, and reinstatement runs $250 plus state fees through Anonymousllc.co.
Anonymousllc.co charges a $297 service fee plus the $59 Utah state fee, for $356 all-in. Filing yourself costs the $59 state fee alone, but you handle the paperwork, name checks, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications on your own. The $297 service fee covers the full workflow completed in 5-10 business days: name search, Articles filing, registered agent for year one, a Utah operating agreement, the EIN, and four to five US bank applications. Most owners find that DIY costs more in time and missed steps than the service fee costs in money. The price is quoted upfront with no hidden upsells.
The all-in 2026 price is $356 for year one through Anonymousllc.co: the $297 service fee plus the $59 Utah state fee. That price includes filing, registered agent year one, operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications. Add-on services are priced separately: EIN $99, ITIN $299, and BOI $150 per report where a report applies. Year two onward, the recurring cost is the $18 renewal plus the $100/year registered agent. Founders who want ownership privacy compare the $356 native Utah price against a Wyoming anonymous LLC at $397 all-in, which fulfills the Anonymous LLC package.
Utah does not charge a Delaware-style flat franchise tax on LLCs. The ongoing state obligation is the $18 annual renewal plus the flat 4.55% income tax on Utah-sourced income. This contrasts with Delaware, which levies a $300 flat annual franchise tax on every LLC due June 1, and with Nevada, which requires an annual list and state business license near $350/year. Utah's structure keeps recurring state fees low at $18, though the 4.55% income tax applies where the LLC earns income sourced to Utah. A pass-through LLC reports that income on the owners' personal returns.
A Utah LLC runs $356 for year one through Anonymousllc.co, versus $397 for Wyoming and $347 for New Mexico. New Mexico is the cheapest overall because it requires no annual report and no annual fee. Wyoming costs $397 all-in ($297 + $100 state) and adds strong anonymity that Utah lacks, plus no state income tax. Delaware is $407 all-in with a $300 flat franchise tax, and Nevada is $722 all-in with an annual list and state business license near $350/year. Utah sits mid-pack on formation cost but carries a 4.55% state income tax the anonymous states do not all impose. Founders who need privacy form in Wyoming or New Mexico and foreign-qualify into Utah. The formation fee is only part of the comparison. A founder who plans to earn income sourced to Utah adds the 4.55% income tax to the $18 renewal and the $100/year registered agent, while a Wyoming or New Mexico entity carries no state income tax. Over several years, that recurring difference outweighs the small gap in first-year formation price, which is why the total lifetime cost, not the year-one figure alone, drives the state choice.
The cheapest way is to pay the $59 state filing fee directly and handle every remaining step yourself: the name check, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications. That saves the $297 service fee up front. DIY costs more in time and missed steps for most owners than the service fee costs in money, especially for non-residents who need the EIN by fax and US bank applications submitted remotely. The Anonymousllc.co $356 all-in price covers the full workflow and removes the risk of a rejected filing or a stalled EIN. Founders who value speed and a single point of contact choose the bundled price.
A non-resident pays the same $356 all-in through Anonymousllc.co, plus $299 for an ITIN if personal US tax filing requires one. No SSN, visa, or US visit is needed at any stage. The $356 covers the Articles filing, EIN obtained by fax in 5-7 days, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, and four to five US bank applications submitted remotely. Non-resident owners of a foreign-owned single-member LLC file Form 5472 with a pro-forma 1120 each year; Anonymousllc.co partners with US tax preparers for those returns. The ongoing $18 renewal and $100/year registered agent apply from year two.
Yes. Utah applies a flat 4.55% income tax to income sourced to the state, so a Utah LLC's profit that reaches the owners is taxed at that rate on the Utah portion. A default LLC is a pass-through, so the income lands on the owners' personal returns. The 4.55% rate is flat across income levels, which differs from the graduated brackets some states use. Wyoming and Nevada charge no state income tax at all, and this is one reason a founder weighing pure tax cost looks past Utah's low formation fee to the recurring income tax. A non-resident with no Utah-sourced income owes no Utah income tax on foreign earnings. The income tax is separate from the $18 annual renewal, so a founder budgets for both when the LLC earns income sourced to Utah.
The $356 all-in price covers formation; optional add-ons are priced separately: EIN $99, ITIN $299, BOI $150 per report, a custom operating agreement $199, and registered agent renewal $100/year from year two. Each is quoted before purchase. The formation package already bundles a standard Utah operating agreement and the EIN, so the EIN and agreement add-ons apply when a founder buys a service standalone or needs a custom-drafted agreement beyond the included template. An ITIN at $299 matters for a non-resident who must file a US personal return. BOI at $150 per report applies only to foreign reporting companies under the current FinCEN rule. Because every add-on is quoted upfront, the $356 base never absorbs a surprise charge, and a founder adds only the services their situation requires.
