Filing fees

Indiana does not publish its statutory filing fees on a standalone HTML fee schedule page. The official fee calculator at inbiz.in.gov — Fee Calculator generates exact totals for any filing type: select Secretary of State as the agency, choose a transaction type, then select the entity type and filing type. Use this calculator before submitting any filing.

One component of Indiana's fees is publicly documented: Enhanced Access fees, set by the Secretary of State under IC 4-5-10-2 (effective July 1, 2025). These are charged in addition to statutory filing fees for online transactions. A regulatory analysis from the Indiana SOS stated that Indiana ranks among the 10% lowest-cost states nationally for business registration, with fees unchanged for over ten years.
