What an LLC costs in Nebraska
We publish a figure only when we can point at the official page that sets it. For Nebraska we're still confirming part of the picture — everything verified so far is below, with the gaps named.
First-year breakdown
- State filing fee $100 One-time, paid when you form the LLC
- Total, first year Pending
Don't file on this alone. We're still verifying figures state by state. Open the source link below and confirm before you pay anything or rely on a deadline.
The requirement nobody mentions
Publication
Nebraska requires newspaper publication of notice of organization: three successive weeks in a legal newspaper of general circulation in the county of the registered office (Neb. Rev. Stat. 21-193). An Affidavit of Publication is then filed with the Secretary of State for $25 online / $30 in office. The newspaper's own charge is a private cost, not a state fee, and no official state page publishes a range.
Keeping it alive
Your biennial report
| Filing | Biennial Report |
|---|---|
| How often | biennial |
| Fee | Not yet verified |
| When it's due | Due April 1 of ODD-numbered years; delinquency date June 16. LLCs formed in an even year still file on the next odd-year cycle. |
| If you're late | Not filed by the June 16 delinquency date means administrative dissolution (or revocation of a foreign LLC's authority). |
| If you keep ignoring it | Administrative dissolution for failure to file the biennial report by June 16 of the report year. |
State tax: No state franchise or entity-level tax on Nebraska LLCs; income passes through to members.
What we're less sure about
Caveats on this page
- INCOMPLETE: the official fee page lists a fee only for 'Amendment or Correction to Biennial Report' ($30) — no line item for the base biennial report itself. Secondary sources disagree ($13 vs $25) and neither cites an official page. Left null rather than guessed. Verify with NE SOS Business Services (402-471-4079).
- Confirmed state fees in year one: $100 formation (online) + $25 Affidavit of Publication = $125, PLUS an unverified private newspaper cost and a biennial report fee of unknown amount that may or may not fall in year one.
- One of only three publication states in the dataset, alongside New York and Arizona.
