Filing Articles of Organization (Form SS-4270) with the Tennessee Secretary of State costs $50 per member, with a $300 minimum and a $3,000 maximum. An LLC with one to six members therefore pays $300. Paying online by card or e-check adds a convenience fee; a mailed check avoids it.
The recurring cost is the annual report, also $300 minimum (up to $3,000, with $50 more for each member over six), due April 1 for LLCs with a December fiscal year.
