Publication is a one-time requirement.

> We also file the **New York Biennial Statement** ($59 all-in) and order **Certificates of Good Standing** ($75 all-in) for New York LLCs and corporations.

## About

Cheap NY Publication handles the New York LLC newspaper publication requirement (LLC Law §206) from start to finish. Every newly formed New York LLC must publish a formation notice once per week for six consecutive weeks in two newspapers designated by the county clerk, then file a Certificate of Publication with the NY Department of State, all within 120 days of formation.

We coordinate the entire process: placing the notice in both newspapers designated for the county on file, tracking the six-week run, collecting both notarized Affidavits of Publication, and filing the Certificate of Publication with the Department of State for the customer, paying the $50 state fee out of our price. The customer receives the filing receipt by email and has nothing to sign, print, or mail.

## Services and prices

| Situation | All-in price |
|---|---|
| New York LLC, office already designated to Albany County | **$349** |
| New York LLC, office in Orange or Westchester County (we publish there, no county change) | **$349** |
| New York LLC, office designated to most other NY counties (we change it to a lower-cost county) | **$349** |
| New York LLC, office in Manhattan (New York County) | **$600** |
| New York LLC, office in Brooklyn (Kings County) | **$600** |
| New York LLC, office in Queens | **$600** |
| New York LLC, office in the Bronx | **$600** |
| New York LLC, office in Staten Island (Richmond County) | **$600** |
| Out-of-state ("foreign") LLC registered into NY, already designated to Albany County | **$398** |
| Out-of-state ("foreign") LLC designated to any other NY county (we change it to a lower-cost county) | **$398** |
| Out-of-state ("foreign") LLC, office in one of the five NYC counties | **$649** |

Every price is all-in: it includes the state's $50 Certificate of Publication fee, which we pay to the NY Department of State when we file the certificate for the customer. There is nothing further to pay the state.

**Two routes, and the customer chooses.** The prices above are our main route:
New York lets an LLC update the county on file with the Department of State, so
we move the office designation to a lower-cost county and publish there, where
the designated papers cost far less. A customer who would rather
keep their current county can instead publish directly in it, for a fixed price
we quote up front. Direct prices run from $349 in Orange County
to $1,749 in New York County, because each county clerk
designates its own papers and those papers set their own rates. Every direct
price is below the price LLC Publishers lists for the same county (checked
October 28, 2026). Examples:

| Publishing directly in | Our all-in price | LLC Publishers lists |
|---|---|---|
| Westchester County | $349 | $395 |
| Erie County | $399 | $445 |
| Monroe County | $549 | $595 |
| Nassau County | $599 | $625 |
| Queens County | $1,149 | $1,195 |
| Kings County | $1,449 | $1,475 |
| Bronx County | $1,699 | $1,745 |
| New York County | $1,749 | $1,795 |

Both routes include both designated newspapers, the full six-week run, both
affidavits, and filing the Certificate of Publication with the state, the $50
state fee included. The direct route is usually the dearer of the two; it exists
for customers who do not want their county designation changed.

**The five New York City counties are priced separately.** Their designated newspapers are the most expensive in the state: LLC Publishers lists $1,195 to $1,795 to publish there (checked October 28, 2026). Our price for an LLC in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx or Staten Island is $600 all-in through a lower-cost county. Do not quote a New York City LLC the $349 price.

**Foreign LLCs (LLC Law §802).** An LLC formed in another state that filed an Application for Authority to do business in New York owes a six-week publication too. Three things differ from a domestic §206 filing: the notice is a notice of qualification rather than a Notice of Formation; the 120-day clock runs from the Application for Authority filing date, not the home-state formation date; and the closing filing is the Certificate of Publication for a Foreign Limited Liability Company, a different form.

## Other New York LLC filings

**Biennial Statement: $59 all-in** ($50 our fee plus the $9 state fee, which we remit in full). New York has no annual report. Instead, every New York LLC and business corporation, and every out-of-state one registered in New York, files a Biennial Statement with the Department of State every two years (LLC Law §301(e) for LLCs, Business Corporation Law §408 for corporations), in the calendar month its Articles of Organization, Certificate of Incorporation or Application for Authority was originally filed. An LLC that does not file is shown as past due in the Department of State's records, and any Certificate of Status will say so. A past-due statement can still be filed. Details and a free due-month calculator: https://cheapnypublication.com/new-york-biennial-statement

**Certificate of Good Standing: $75 all-in** ($50 our fee plus the $25 state fee). New York calls it a Certificate of Status; banks, lenders and landlords ask for it to confirm an LLC or corporation is active. We check the company is not past due before ordering. The state's expedite options are passed through at the state's own price, with nothing added: $25 for 24-hour and $75 for same-day processing. Details: https://cheapnypublication.com/new-york-certificate-of-good-standing

**LLC formation with publication: $599 all-in.** We file the Articles of Organization with the Department of State (the $200 state fee included), list a lower-cost county on the Articles so the LLC publishes where the designated papers cost less, run the six-week publication and file the Certificate of Publication. Professional LLCs (PLLCs) for licensed professions are formed too, with the licensing step handled. An EIN can be added ($49). Forming several LLCs in one order, for example one per property, takes $10 off each LLC after the first. Details: https://cheapnypublication.com/form-llc-new-york

**DBA (Certificate of Assumed Name): $99 all-in** ($74 our fee plus the $25 state fee; an LLC owes no county fee). Lets a New York LLC do business under another name, under General Business Law §130. The assumed name may not contain Corporation, Inc., Limited, LLC or similar words. Details: https://cheapnypublication.com/new-york-llc-dba

**County change: $89 all-in** ($59 our fee plus the $30 state fee). We prepare, sign and file the Certificate of Change (DOS-1359-f, or DOS-1362-f for a foreign LLC) that moves an LLC's county on the state's records. An LLC that still has to publish gets this inside the publication price. Details: https://cheapnypublication.com/new-york-llc-county-change

**Address change: $99 all-in** ($69 our fee plus the $30 state fee). The same Certificate of Change, used to change the address the state mails the LLC's legal papers to (its address for service of process). Details: https://cheapnypublication.com/new-york-llc-address-change

**Name change: $149 all-in** ($89 our fee plus the $60 state fee). A New York LLC changes its legal name with a Certificate of Amendment (LLC Law §211). The new name must end with LLC, L.L.C. or Limited Liability Company and be free on the state's register; we check it. Details: https://cheapnypublication.com/new-york-llc-name-change

**LLC dissolution: $159 all-in** ($99 our fee plus the $60 state fee). A New York LLC closes with Articles of Dissolution (LLC Law §705), due within 90 days of dissolving; an out-of-state LLC registered here files a Certificate of Surrender of Authority (§806). The state's page for LLC dissolution lists no Tax Department consent (corporations need one). Details: https://cheapnypublication.com/dissolve-llc-new-york

These are separate from publication: publication is a one-time requirement, the Biennial Statement recurs every two years, and a Certificate of Good Standing is ordered whenever someone asks for one.

## Who we serve

**Every New York county.** This is the most common misconception about us: we are not limited to one county.

- **LLC office in Albany, Orange or Westchester County** is **$349** all-in, and we publish in that county directly.
- **LLC office in one of the five New York City counties** (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island) is **$600** all-in.
- **LLC office in any other New York county** (Nassau, Suffolk, Erie, Monroe, Onondaga, or any of the rest) is **$349** all-in, and we handle everything, including moving the county on file to a lower-cost county and publishing there.

We only serve New York LLCs. We cannot help with publication requirements in other states (Arizona, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Georgia have their own separate regimes).

## Why an LLC in an expensive county pays far less with us

§206 ties the publication requirement to the county where the LLC's office is **currently designated on file with the Department of State**, not the county where you happen to sit, and not necessarily the county you originally formed in. New York expressly permits an LLC to update that designated county, and the state publishes the form for doing so.

Once the designated county is a lower-cost county, that county's two designated newspapers are the correct papers to publish in, at that county's rates. Upstate counties such as Albany have some of the lowest legal-notice rates in New York State.

Publication is also a **one-time, permanent** requirement. Once an LLC has published and filed its Certificate of Publication, it never has to publish again, even if its office county later changes back. So the end state is identical compliance, reached at a fraction of the cost.

This is an established, above-board route that filing services have used for years. It does not require a lawyer, a new physical address, or a registered-agent subscription.

## Timeline

- Approximately **7 to 8 weeks** for an order with no county change (6 weeks of publication plus affidavit collection).
- Approximately **9 to 10 weeks** when a county change is involved (the state takes roughly 1 to 2 weeks to process it before publication begins).

Both fit comfortably inside the 120-day statutory deadline when started promptly.

## How It Works

1. **Customer provides LLC details**: exact legal name (must match NY DOS records), formation date, and the LLC's office address. We detect the county automatically from the address and quote the correct flat price.
2. **County change, if needed**: for LLCs in counties with expensive papers we prepare and file the change to a lower-cost county with the Department of State and wait for it to be processed before any notice runs.
3. **We place and track**: we submit the formation notice to both newspapers designated for the county on file and monitor the six-week run.
4. **We file it with the state**: we collect both Affidavits of Publication, complete the Certificate of Publication, and file it with the Department of State, paying the $50 state fee from our price. The customer gets the filing receipt by email.

## Guarantee

100% money-back guarantee: if we do not complete the publication and file it with the state, or the state rejects the filing because of our error, we re-publish at our expense or refund the customer's entire payment. Errors in information the customer provided are not covered.

## Legal Background

New York LLC Law §206 requires every newly formed LLC and newly registered foreign LLC to:
- Publish a Notice of Formation once per week for six successive weeks
- In two newspapers designated by the county clerk (one daily, one weekly)
- In the county where the LLC's office is located, per its filing with the Department of State
- File a Certificate of Publication with the NY Department of State within 120 days of formation
- Pay a $50 state filing fee (included in our price; we pay it when we file)

Failure to comply results in suspension of the LLC's authority to carry on business in New York. The LLC is **not** dissolved, and the statute expressly preserves the validity of its contracts, other parties' rights to sue it, and its right to defend any action; it does not list a right to start one. Filing proof of publication at any time annuls the suspension, with no penalty fee and no re-formation required.

## Albany County Designated Newspapers (for LLCs already designated to Albany County)

- **Daily**: Times Union (Albany, NY)
- **Weekly**: The Altamont Enterprise & Albany County Post (Altamont, NY)

Designations confirmed with the Albany County Clerk. Designations can change; verify periodically.

## FAQ

**Do you only serve LLCs in one county?**
No. We serve LLCs in every New York county. LLCs in Albany, Orange and Westchester pay $349; LLCs in the five New York City counties pay $600; LLCs in all other New York counties pay $349, which includes changing the county on file to a lower-cost county. Every price is all-in, state filing fee included.

**My LLC is in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx or Staten Island. Can you help?**
Yes, at $600 all-in. The five New York City counties are priced above $349 because their designated papers cost the most; LLC Publishers lists $1,195 to $1,795 there.

**Are you cheaper than LLC Publishers?**
Yes, in every county, from the prices LLC Publishers lists on its own site (checked October 28, 2026). Even publishing directly in the LLC's own county, with no county change, our price is lower in all 62 counties.

**Is LLC publication mandatory?**
Yes. LLC Law §206 requires it for every newly formed and newly registered foreign LLC in New York. There is no opt-out.

**Is it a recurring requirement?**
No. It is one-time and permanent. Once published and filed, the LLC never needs to publish again.

**What happens if I miss the 120-day deadline?**
The LLC's authority to carry on business is suspended. The LLC is not dissolved and its contracts remain valid; the statute protects its right to defend a lawsuit but does not list a right to start one. Late publication annuls the suspension, with no penalty fee required. It is never too late to publish.

**Can I choose which newspapers to publish in?**
No. The county clerk designates the two newspapers. Publishing in non-designated papers is invalid and the affidavits will not be accepted.

**Do you file the Certificate of Publication with the state?**
Yes. We file the Certificate of Publication with the NY Department of State for the customer, and the $50 state fee is included in our price. The customer receives the filing receipt by email and has nothing to sign, print, or mail.

**Is the $50 state fee included?**
Yes. Every publication price is all-in, including the $50 Certificate of Publication fee.

**Does New York require an annual report for LLCs?**
No. New York requires a Biennial Statement every two years instead, with a $9 state fee. We file it for $59 all-in. Details: https://cheapnypublication.com/new-york-llc-annual-report

**Can you get a Certificate of Good Standing for my New York LLC?**
Yes, for $75 all-in, including the state fee. New York calls it a Certificate of Status.

**Do I need a lawyer, a registered agent, or a new address?**
No. None of the three are required for our service.
