The Certificate of Organization costs $59 on the Division's fiscal year 2026 fee schedule. It states the company name, the street and mailing address of the principal office and the registered agent information (Utah Code § 16-20-201).
Source: Utah Code § 16-20-201Articles of Incorporation cost $59 no matter how many shares you authorize. The articles state the purpose, the name, the number and classes of authorized shares, the registered agent and each incorporator (§ 16-10a-202).
Source: Utah Code § 16-10a-202Utah moved its business entity laws into Title 16 effective October 1, 2026. The LLC Act is now Chapter 20 and the shared rules on names, registered agents, annual reports and administrative dissolution sit in Chapter 1a. The fees and the filings themselves did not change.
Source: Utah Code § 16-1a-212Utah calls its yearly filing an annual renewal or annual report. Every domestic LLC, corporation and nonprofit, and every registered foreign entity, files it by the last day of its anniversary month, the calendar month its formation or registration took effect, and may file up to 60 days early (Utah Code § 16-1a-212). The fee is $18 for an LLC or corporation, which includes a $5 single sign-on surcharge, and a late renewal adds $10.
Source: Utah Code § 16-1a-212Every domestic filing entity, every registered foreign entity and, unusually, every registered DBA must designate and keep a registered agent in Utah (Utah Code § 16-1a-402). The agent can be an individual or a commercial registered agent listed with the Division, and the agent's address must be a physical Utah address where process can be served.
Source: Utah Code § 16-1a-402The Division may begin administrative dissolution when an annual report is more than 60 days past due, when a fee goes unpaid for six months, or when the company has had no registered agent for 60 consecutive days (Utah Code § 16-1a-602). It serves notice first, and the company has 60 days to cure (§ 16-1a-603). Reinstatement costs $54 plus $18 for each missed year and a $10 delinquency fee.
Source: Utah Code § 16-1a-602Utah's state fees are low by national standards: $59 to form an LLC or corporation and $18 a year to renew. There is no publication requirement, no share-based incorporation fee and no separate state business license from the Division. What trips owners up is not cost but calendar: the renewal is due by the last day of the month the company was formed, and after 60 days overdue the Division can start administrative dissolution.
For corporations the bigger yearly number is tax, not filing fees. Utah's corporate franchise and income tax is 4.45 percent of Utah taxable income with a $100 minimum (Utah Code § 59-7-104). An LLC taxed as a partnership or sole proprietorship does not pay that minimum.

Check the name for distinguishability on the Division's records first, because endings, articles and punctuation do not count as differences (§ 16-1a-302). Then line up a registered agent with a physical Utah address, file the certificate or articles, get the EIN in the exact registered name, open the bank account, and register with the State Tax Commission if you will collect sales tax or run payroll. Put the renewal month on your calendar the day the filing comes back.
If you plan to trade under another name, register the DBA with the Division too; unlike most states, Utah's DBA is statewide and needs its own registered agent (§ 16-1a-402).

As of October 1, 2026, Utah's business entity statutes live in Title 16. Chapter 1a holds the rules every entity shares, from names and registered agents to annual reports, foreign registration and administrative dissolution. The LLC Act moved to Chapter 20, while the business corporation act remains Chapter 10a and the nonprofit act Chapter 6a. Older guides that cite Title 48 for LLCs are pointing at the repealed numbering. Our pages cite the current sections.
