Wisconsin fee schedule
The last row is a sum: the filing fee, the reports for years two and three and any yearly minimum tax. Publication and other variable costs are named in the text but not added.
Why the table is ordered this way
Jobs ticked off put Mainstay Filing in row one. That column carries 28% of the sort, and three-year tally, renewal step, break-even tally and price on the page make up the rest.
One agent price in every state outranked WI Registered Agent.org's lower one-state price.
Wisconsin registered agent rules (official, Department of Financial Institutions (DFI))
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
A Wisconsin resident, or a business entity formed in Wisconsin or authorized there, whose business office is the registered office. The agent needs an email address and has to consent. Law: Wis. Stat. § 183.0115.
The address has to be an actual physical location with a street address in Wisconsin, not solely a P.O. box, mailbox service or answering service.

If you file it yourself
Name yourself if you meet the rules above and the agent line reads zero, with the state's own fees unchanged. The service rows charge $99 to $149 a year for a Wisconsin address and someone to accept legal papers.
