Louisiana raises its filing fees on 1 October

Act 921 raises fees across the Commercial Division schedule, from formations to annual reports. Our Louisiana numbers already reflect the new schedule.

1 Oct
Louisiana's new fee schedule takes effect

The increases come from Act 921 of the 2026 Regular Legislative Session and take effect on 1 October 2026. They run across the Commercial Division's whole schedule rather than one or two filings: formations, amendments, mergers, conversions, annual reports, and foreign qualification.

Individual increases are modest, roughly five to thirty dollars depending on the filing. Spread across every business filing in the state, the Legislative Fiscal Office put the revenue at about five million dollars a year.

Our Louisiana figures were updated to the new schedule ahead of the date, which is why a quote you take today still holds in October.

Also worth knowing

  • State fees
    What is an LLC annual report?

    Asked about 1,100 times a month on Google, across roughly ten phrasings. It usually comes up the first time a state sends a reminder, or when an owner sees an annual report fee on a formation quote and wonders what it pays for. The follow-up is always the same: what happens if I skip it?

  • State fees
    Can I be my own registered agent?

    Asked about 2,000 times a month on Google, across roughly sixteen phrasings. It usually comes up during formation, when the state form asks for a registered agent and the owner notices that the line item costs money every year. The follow-up question is whether doing it yourself is worth it.

  • State fees
    How do I change the name of my LLC?

    Asked about 2,600 times a month on Google, across roughly ten phrasings. It comes up after a rebrand, a trademark conflict, a new partner, or an owner deciding the name they picked in a hurry no longer fits. The real question underneath is usually what else breaks when the name changes.
