New York requirements
What the state actually asks of you
Read from the same tables VERA uses when it drafts your formation paperwork and runs payroll. Last checked 2026-01. Fees and deadlines change, so confirm against the agency before you file.
Filing office
New York Department of State, Division of Corporations
LLC document
Articles of Organization, $200
Corporation document
Certificate of Incorporation, $125
Ongoing report
Biennial statement, biennial, $9
Trade name (DBA)
Filed with the county
Publication
Publish a notice in two newspapers designated by the county clerk for six consecutive weeks, then file a Certificate of Publication. In New York City this routinely costs more than a thousand dollars, well above the filing fee itself.
Payroll withholding
New York uses bracketed withholding that VERA does not model, so you set the rate per employee or use a payroll provider for it.
Every state requires a registered agent with a physical street address in that state, available during business hours. You can be your own agent if you have an address there, but it becomes public record and it means being reachable in person on a workday.
