New York LLC Publication Requirement (Section 206)

Section 206 of the New York Limited Liability Company Law requires newly formed LLCs to publish a notice of formation in two local newspapers designated by the county clerk for six consecutive weeks, then file a Certificate of Publication with a $50 state fee.

The Manhattan / New York County Cost Trap: If your LLC's office address is located in Manhattan (New York County), newspaper advertising costs frequently exceed $1,200 to $1,500 due to publication rates charged by designated local publishers.

How to Legally Save $1,000+ on NY Publication:

The county where you must publish is determined by the physical address of your Registered Agent in your Articles of Organization.

By utilizing a Registered Agent located in Albany County rather than Manhattan or Kings County (Brooklyn), the newspaper publishing rates drop from over $1,200 down to approximately $300 total.
