$1k to start LLC seems very expensive. You can do it in Florida for $100 and it takes less than 10 minutes to fill out the paperwork...
I think I had a lawyer help me and it was still less than $1000, but the $300 fee might be what's killing you here.

$535 total including the fee. if you need someone to do the paperwork for you.
Yes the $300 fee is much higher than other states

Like I said, its $300 for Texas. But yours seems expensive in comparison to @EddieJennings's $50 fee for Georgia.
It's $50 here, plus online filling fee, but if you wanted to do it offline you could technically do it for $50. The state of Florida puts everything together online so you cant screw it up. That costs you like $100 total.

Ya I don’t think it’s even that high in Taxylvania.

High tax states often have cheaper fees. Low tax states often make money in other places, like this.

Maybe in some cases, but remember Florida has no state income tax just like Texas.

I do miss that. However things like vehicle registration are way higher. My car in PA is like $25 a year. I think it was $70 something when we lived in Vero. But you guys also don’t have inspections.

Yeah. $78 here in Brevard.
No inspections is worth the extra money

Just renewed in Texas, was about $80. Not bad. And all online.

Illinois is such a horrible state. Income taxes and high fees.

The only tough parts about Texas is high property taxes and sales tax on almost everything. In Texas, you never truly own your house as your always paying taxes on it. Miss a few years and the county repsees the property for back taxes. You can either pay up or the property gets auctioned off on county court steps.

Lucky you... I just got the letter for renewal... it was $228. It's about that every year for both of our cars. (each)
Also all doable online, which is nice.

That's how every state is. You don't think that there are states where you don't pay property tax for forever, do you?

Yeah, you are never free from property tax...

That's literally what happens in every state in the US.

When I lived in Indiana I was shocked when I registered my tags and the lady said "that'll be $1200". I laughed, she was serious. In Ohio you pay about $35 to $50 for a tag renewal.
In Indiana you pay around 1% of your cars value, and I had just bought a stupidly expensive new car (something I will NEVER repeat).
Prior to Indiana I lived in Florida and both my cars were leased, so I am really curious as to how different car tags are priced across other states.

I just registered a beater truck I got for $1500. $188 for registration, plates, and sales tax. Inspection is another $21 on top of that.

Even non-statets like the Virgin Islands.

A bit much for a $1500 truck.
