The New York Biennial Statement State fee is $9 — the same for an LLC or a business corporation, paid by card on the State's e-Statement system. That $9 goes to the Department of State and doesn't change whether you file yourself or have someone do it.
Is there a late fee?
New York does not charge a dollar penalty for filing late — but that's not the same as "no consequence." Until you file, your entity is marked past due and loses good standing, and that status is what actually costs you: it can stall a loan, a bank account, a license renewal, or a contract. The cost of being late isn't a fee — it's the doors that quietly close. The fix is simply to file the overdue statement.
Why filing services charge more than $9
The $9 is the State's cut. A service charges for the work around it: finding your DOS ID, confirming the exact month you're due, entering everything the way the State expects it, and sending you official confirmation you can hand a bank. Our price is $79 flat, with the $9 State fee already included — one time, no subscription, no upsells.
What $79 gets you
A DOS ID lookup, your confirmed due date, the filing itself with the State, written confirmation emailed the same or next day, and your next cycle tracked so you're never surprised two years from now. If you'd rather do it yourself for $9, our step-by-step guide walks you through it free.
