Albany publication
$300Compare my optionsWhy the county decides the price
New York LLC Law §206 requires publishing your formation notice for six weeks in two newspapers designated by your county's clerk, one daily, one weekly. You can't shop around for cheaper papers; the clerk's designation is the designation. So the price of compliance is simply whatever those two papers charge, and a Manhattan daily charges Manhattan advertising rates.
Approximate newspaper costs by county
Combined cost of both designated papers for the full six-week run (state's $50 filing fee not included). These are ballparks from published rates. Papers change prices, so verify before you buy:

Why Albany is the affordable county
Albany County's clerk-designated newspapers publish at some of the lowest legal-notice rates in New York, a fraction of what a Manhattan daily commands. That's why an Albany-based publication is the sensible route for anyone who wants to satisfy §206 without an outsized newspaper bill. It's Albany County that we specialize in, so it's the papers, timing, and paperwork we know cold.
