LLC publication in Westchester County

What §206 requires of a Westchester County LLC

Every newly formed New York LLC must publish a Notice of Formation once a week for six successive weeks, in two newspapers designated by the county clerk (one daily, one weekly) and then file a Certificate of Publication with the Department of State, along with a $50 filing fee, within 120 days of formation.

You don't get to shop for cheaper papers. The clerk's designation is the designation, so the price of compliance is simply whatever those two papers charge. Westchester publication rates vary with notice length and the county-designated papers.

Miss the 120 days and your LLC's authority to do business in New York is suspended. It isn't dissolved and your contracts stay valid. The law protects its right to defend itself in court; the right to start a lawsuit is not on that list. Publishing late lifts the suspension completely, with no penalty fee. More on the deadline.

What it costs in Westchester County

Ranges are typical market estimates for the full six-week run in both designated papers and vary with notice length and paper. The state's $50 filing fee comes on top of these; our price already includes it.

The legal route to a lower price

Section 206 keys the publication requirement to the county where your LLC's office is currently designated on file with the Department of State, not to where you personally sit, and not permanently to the county you first formed in. New York expressly allows an LLC to update that designated county, and the state provides the form for doing it.

Once the designation is Albany, the Albany newspapers are the correct papers to publish in, at Albany's rates, the lowest legal-notice rates in New York State. It is a recognized, above-board route that established filing services have used for years.

And because publication is one-time and permanent, the end state is identical: your Westchester County LLC finishes fully and permanently compliant with §206, having paid Albany rates instead of Westchester County rates.

How our price compares, and what a low quote often leaves out: cheap LLC publication in New York.
