New Mexico LLC Fees: The Full 2026 Breakdown
New Mexico charges $50 to create an LLC and then, remarkably, nothing on a recurring basis. This page lists every state fee an LLC owner here actually encounters, plus our own service pricing, so you can budget the whole thing on one screen.
The Formation Fee
The Articles of Organization fee is $50, fixed by NMSA 1978, § 53-19-63(A). It is paid once, by card, when you submit the online application through the Secretary of State's enterprise portal. All business filings in New Mexico are online only; the SOS no longer accepts paper applications, so there is no separate mail-in fee schedule to worry about.
Recurring State Fees: There Aren't Any
New Mexico LLCs file no annual report and no biennial report. The Limited Liability Company Act (NMSA 1978, Ch. 53, Art. 19) simply contains no periodic-report requirement, so there is no report fee, ever. Corporations in this state do file a biennial report, which is why you sometimes see the requirement misattributed to LLCs. It does not apply to you.
Taxes are a separate matter. An active business typically registers with the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department for gross receipts tax and files returns on that department's schedule. Those are tax filings with their own rules, not Secretary of State fees, and what you owe depends on your receipts rather than a flat annual charge.

Get Started| State filing | Fee |
|---|---|
| Articles of Organization (domestic LLC) | $50 |
| Annual or biennial report | None required |
| Statement of Change of Registered Office or Registered Agent, or Both | $20 |
| Foreign LLC registration | $100 |
The agent-change fee is set by NMSA 1978, § 53-19-63(I) at $20, filed online like everything else. Older guides quote $10 (a stale figure) or $22 (the fee plus a card-processing add-on); the statutory fee is $20.
Our Service Pricing
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| LLC formation | $199 + $50 state fee, first year of registered agent included, then $99/yr |
| Registered agent only | $99/yr |
| Foreign qualification | $199 + state fees |
First-year total with us: $249, and that already covers your registered agent for year one. From year two onward the annual price is $99 for registered agent service, and the state itself bills you nothing.
Doing It Yourself
File directly on the portal and your total outlay is the $50 state fee. What you take on in exchange is the application itself, serving as or sourcing a registered agent, and tracking your own compliance. Either path is legitimate; ours just removes the homework.
