What an LLC costs in Colorado
Colorado is one of the cheapest states to form and keep an LLC: $50 to file, $25 a year.
The numbers
What it owes every year
Periodic report, $25/year, due in the specific 'Periodic Report Month' assigned at formation (filed up to 2 months before or after with no penalty).
Know this before you file
One of the cheapest ongoing state fees in the country, but it's still a real annual filing tied to an assigned month, not your formation date - missing it repeatedly leads to delinquency and eventual administrative dissolution, not just a fee.
First-year math
$50 Articles of Organization + the $25 periodic report in your assigned report month.
When your Colorado filing is due
