Effective July 1, 2015, the Secretary of State’s office will implement the following fee increases to business filings, as stipulated under SB 483: 

• The annual State Business License fee for corporations formed pursuant to Chapters 78, 78A, 78B, and 80 will increase to $500, from $200. 

• The business license fee for all other entity types remains $200 per year. 

• The fee for Initial and Annual Lists will increase by $25 for all entity types. 

Any Annual or Initial List or State Business License application due by the end of August, 2015 or earlier, received prior to July 1, 2015 will be assessed the pre-July fees. 

The fees for Annual or Initial Lists or State Business License applications, reinstatements and revivals received after July 1, 2015 will be calculated based on the new fees, even if for prior years.
