Utah LLC filing fee and form (official source)

The Utah Secretary of State receives the Certificate of Organization together with a $59 fee (Utah Code § 48-3a-201). No provider on this route adds to it. Transit time at the state, as published: Most filings immediately; manual review 5 to 7 business days.

Utah Annual Report/Renewal: fee, deadline and late penalty

Utah sets the Annual Report/Renewal checkpoint once a year at $18, last day of the entity's anniversary month. Lateness adds $10.

Reasoning for the order

Mainstay Filing pulled ahead of UT Registered Agent.org on steps the service takes over, weighted 27%.

Having the Annual Report/Renewal cleared within the fare mattered more than UT Registered Agent.org's smaller three-year cost.
