Updated August 10, 2026. Quick answer. Forming an LLC in Alaska costs an unverified filing fee (see the table below), and an unverified ongoing report requirement. Five-year total: Not computed — unverified input(s) a reader cannot do without: formation_fee, annual_report.amount_usd. Treating an unverified fee as zero would understate this state.
What it actually costs
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Formation filing fee | Not verified — see notes |
| Annual/biennial report | Not verified |
| Franchise / minimum tax | Not verified — see notes |
| Publication requirement | Not verified. |
Five-year cost of ownership: Not computed — unverified input(s) a reader cannot do without: formation_fee, annual_report.amount_usd. Treating an unverified fee as zero would understate this state. Publication cost is excluded from this figure — it’s county-driven where it applies, not state-driven, so a single number would be wrong for most filers.

If the LLC already exists somewhere else
Everything above prices forming a new Alaska LLC. A company that already exists in another state does not have to be dissolved and re-formed: Alaska takes it in as the same legal entity by the route its own code captions domestication, AS 10.55.501; AS 10.50.075, and the entity-law filing fee for it is $275 as the agency last published it (that fee page carries no date) — a separate filing from the formation costs above. Going the other way, an Alaska LLC may leave for another US state under AS 10.55.501. Either way the move needs both ends to allow it — the state being left as well as the state being joined — which is where most published advice goes wrong.
