Suffolk County LLC Publication: Costs, Newspapers & Process (2026)
If your LLC's Articles name Suffolk County, your daily-newspaper choice is effectively Newsday — but the weekly is where you can save real money. Here's how Suffolk publication actually works and what it costs.
Your designated newspapers
Suffolk County's clerk designates about a dozen qualifying papers. You need one daily and one weekly.
- Daily: Newsday is the designated Long Island daily most Suffolk filings use.
- Cheapest weeklies: the Long Island Advance and the Suffolk County News are both genuinely low-cost weeklies — the smart pick for holding your total down.
- Other weeklies: City & State, New York Amsterdam News, and several specialty weeklies at higher rates.
The daily is the expensive half in Suffolk, so pairing it with a low-cost designated weekly (Long Island Advance or Suffolk County News) is how you keep the bill sensible.
What it costs in Suffolk
The papers' listed rates plus a flat $149 — the $50 state fee and our $99.
The box above names Suffolk's cheapest lawful pair from the listed rates. The daily is the expensive half, so pairing it with a low-cost designated weekly is what keeps the bill sensible. Every rate is confirmed before you're charged.
Where a slot in that box reads we place it for you, no newspaper has published a rate with us in that county yet: we place the notice with a designated paper and confirm its price with you before anything is charged.
The process (same statewide)
Under NY LLC Law §206: the notice runs once a week for six weeks in both papers (12 insertions), within 120 days of formation. Both papers then issue notarized affidavits; we file Form DOS-1708 with the $50 state fee and deliver your Certificate of Publication.
Confirm your county first
Publication follows the county in your Articles of Organization, not where you live or work. Plenty of Long Island owners are formed in Suffolk and operate in Nassau (or vice versa) — publish in the county your Articles name. If that county looks wrong, confirm it with your attorney before placing anything.
