How Much Does It Cost to Form a Nebraska LLC?
Nebraska is one of the more affordable states to form an LLC. 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 Nebraska Secretary of State charges $100 to file your Articles of Organization. This is a one-time fee paid when you form the LLC.
Annual / Recurring State Fees
Nebraska charges $13 for the biennial report (filed every two years). Miss it, and you risk late fees and eventually administrative dissolution.
Nebraska tax note: Biennial report: $13 filed online. Due between January 1 and April 1 in odd-numbered years (based on formation year). $100 online filing, $110 by mail.
Registered Agent Cost
Every Nebraska LLC is required to maintain a registered agent. With our formation package, the first year of registered agent service is included. After that, ongoing service is $99/year.
Expedited Processing
If you need your LLC formed faster, the Nebraska Secretary of State offers expedited processing for $50. This typically reduces the turnaround from 5-7 business days to 1-2 business days.

How We Compare
Many LLC formation services charge $199-level fees but then tack on upsells: compliance packages, rush fees, unnecessary add-ons. Our fee is straightforward — $199 covers everything you need to get your Nebraska LLC filed and operational.
