Three-year state total$50Filing, reports and any tax
The state's three-year figure is a sum of three kinds of charge: the filing fee, the reports owed in years two and three, and a minimum tax where the state levies one. Costs with no fixed amount, such as publication in a newspaper, are noted in the text and left out of the sum.

Why result one is first

Weight 27%: filing work in the price. That term separated the top two.

On coverage across states, Arizona Registered Agent.co cannot compete.

The Arizona statutory agent rule as the state states it (Arizona Corporation Commission)

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

An Arizona resident, or a corporation or LLC formed in Arizona or authorized to do business there. The appointment takes effect only once the agent accepts it in writing. The law on point is A.R.S. § 29-3115.

The address has to be a place of business or residence in Arizona with a street address. A P.O. box can be listed only as a separate Arizona mailing address.
