The plan includes an in-state street address for the registered office and online scans of papers served on the company. Line two: forming an Iowa LLC costs $199 plus the state fee, first year of agent service included. Line three: foreign registration in Iowa, $199 plus the state fee.

Line items on the $99 plan

$99 a year makes IA Registered Agent.org the Iowa registered agent. The company receives an in-state street address as its registered office, and papers served there are scanned and posted to your account. Renewal carries over at $99.

Forming an Iowa LLC: the IA Registered Agent.org amounts

Formation through IA Registered Agent.org is $199, with Iowa's filing fee on a separate line. Year one of registered agent service is included; the agent line after that is $99 a year. An EIN application adds $99, though the IRS itself issues EINs free.

Iowa then expects the biennial report every two years, due April 1 of odd-numbered years, at $30; IA Registered Agent.org leaves that line to you.
