What's new on incFACTS

The release packaging now carries PDF, Markdown, RTF and ODT captures alongside the text extracts.

Twelve new files (six chapter PDFs and their text extracts) published; the superseded captures stay listed with their dates for anyone checking a pre-October citation.

Dissolution, foreign-qualification, registered-agent, name-reservation and D.B.A. entries for Utah were re-read against the chapters in force since October 1, 2026 and re-stated where the rule changed; where a former rule has no successor, the entry says so and names the section that now governs the subject.

S.B. 40 and S.B. 41 of the 2026 General Session moved Utah's partnership, limited partnership and LLC acts from Title 48 into Title 16 and gathered registered-agent, name, foreign-entity and administrative-dissolution rules into a new chapter 16-1a. Citations across the Utah record, the fee tables and the registered-agent, dissolution, foreign-qualification, name-reservation and D.B.A. pages were re-sourced to the new sections; each shows its former number.

Statute sections for Colorado, Georgia, Mississippi, the District of Columbia and Pennsylvania now cite the publication each jurisdiction designates as its official code; Arkansas and Tennessee remain withheld until the same can be shown.

The future-effective entries recorded in September became the current values at the start of 2026-10-01 UTC; the prior amounts stay on each record as superseded values. Louisiana's formation and annual-report remittances follow the new statutory amounts with the state's $5 card fee unchanged.

The site now publishes /llms.txt (what incFACTS is, the record classes, how to look a jurisdiction up, the sitemap, the MCP endpoint and the attribution line) and /llms-full.txt (every indexable page with its title), and a robots.txt that welcomes every crawler and names the AI crawlers as allowed; only search-result pages are kept out. Nothing about the pages themselves changed.

106 changes across 18 jurisdictions from a practitioner verification of the fee tables: nine value corrections, online versus paper splits recorded, and every bundled component typed by who receives it. South Carolina's corporation remittance keeps the attorney certificate as a required third-party component.

Written answers from the Tennessee, Oklahoma, Nevada, South Dakota, Guam and Rhode Island filing offices, and from five offices on name reservation fees, are recorded on the rows they confirm. Rows sourced this way show the basis 'written answer from the agency' with the office and date.

The column formerly labelled 'Effective remittance' is 'Required filing fees' on state pages, the LLC comparison and the Nevada single-fact page; the section note, glossary entry and cite guide define it: statutory feeStatutory feeThe fee the statute or the agency's adopted fee schedule sets for a filing - the state's own number, before e-pay surcharges, bundled components, expedites, or anyone's service markup.Read the full entry → plus e-payment surcharge, bundled state add-ons and required third-party costs, never a service provider's charge. Third-party components say who is paid.

Each fee row's components column ends with the basis of the figure shown. Rows without a stated basis are published values, the legacy default.

A fourth tab in the Cite block emits a {{cite web}} template with the page's permanent address, version, data-as-of date and today's date. The cite guide's new sections say which figures this site is the primary source for and that a template is a reference, not an endorsement.

The closure feed now carries each jurisdiction's display name, and the banner script names one or two closed jurisdictions outright. Counts stay for three or more. Both editions. No data changed.

Annual report and AL (annual list) each point at the other as the same recurring filing. No data changed.

Since the .html addresses began redirecting to the directory-style form, pages loaded as plain unstyled text because the stylesheet, search script and icon links were written relative to the old file location and resolved to addresses that do not exist. All of them are now site-root paths. No data changed.

All internal links (English and Spanish), the header navigation, the search index and the search form point at the directory-style URL; the flat .html form now answers with a permanent redirect.

The state option-list counts and the Alaska / Nebraska / New Hampshire picklist findings from the 2026-09-18 research.

creator and license fields on every Dataset block (analysis pages, the LLC formation-fee comparison, the homepage dataset list, the certificate-of-good-standing page).

The Reuse section is now the addressable terms page (/cite/#reuse) the markup references.

New 1200 x 630 JPEG card at /og.jpg; the earlier PNG stays in place for services that cached it.

Image type, width, height and alt text declared on every page, English and Spanish.

UCC-1 fee, channels, expedite and effectiveness period for the filing jurisdictions, each verified against the office's own schedule or the fee statute; rows still under review are marked provisional or withheld.

The older statute-derived UCC-1 line is retired wherever the verified filing record now covers the jurisdiction.

A UCC filing fees row alongside UCC search facts.

On every page, both editions, with keyboard navigation and a full results page as the fallback.

/search.html lists every matching jurisdiction, topic and filing office for a query.

Ten citations, corporation and LLC, each quoted from the Compiler of Laws chapter files; two are positive absences (no mandatory registered agent and no administrative dissolution for corporations).

2026 verified against the Department of Revenue and Taxation's holiday page; 2027 follows the statutory rules until the official schedule appears.

Fictitious-name certificates filed with the Department of Revenue and Taxation under 18 GCA Chapter 26.

Kentucky's $175 LLET minimum stands alone; Arkansas, Delaware and Wyoming are counted once inside the annual-report figure; South Carolina's license fee does not reach LLCs.

Twenty-three more fee records, ninety-one filing-office contacts and the last nine filing-channel rows cleared the publication gate; two New Jersey county DBA fees filled from the statute; every Georgia county row without a published total now states the statutory floor.

The statute-citation gap is computed from the record: five topics, and which jurisdictions still lack rows.

The four section photographs were missing from the last three releases and are back.

Cited either way: a state with no general licence says so with the agency page that shows it.

One row per filing; expandable option lists where the state prints its own categories.

County-equivalents from the Census 2020 county codes; seats and sites follow when verified.

Tile map, the licensed jurisdictions with fees and penalties, and the rest with their local layer.

A 54-row grid across six filing types.

Sectors, divisions, major groups and how the Census bridge connects the two lists.

A full icon set (favicon, touch icon, manifest) and default social-preview tags on every page.

The fee table names the transaction instead of printing its record key.

Three formats per page (plain, legal, BibTeX) with copy buttons. The block names the release and the data-as-of date so a reader can tell which version they relied on.

A short guide: cite the page for the compilation and its verification record, cite the official statute or fee schedule shown on the row for the underlying fact, and link back.

Filing office, official search entry, access terms and search fees as the office states them, filing images online, UCC program page, online filing portal and the bulk-data program status, each verified against the filing office's own pages. Three jurisdictions are recorded as offering no public online search, which is a verified finding, not a gap.

The contact table on each state page gains the UCC division's own phone, email, fax, mailing address or contact form where the office publishes one, labelled UCC.

A new coverage row reports the 54 jurisdiction records and how many are verified. Nevada's search entry stays provisional until the ORION platform opens on September 14.

A new notices record holds time-boxed announcements from state filing offices: system cutovers, processing pauses and the like, with the agency's own words and the date it said them. The home page and the affected state's page show a notice that is in effect or starts within the next two weeks, always with the announced-on date and a caveat that announced dates can move. Verified holiday closures are unchanged.

Internal review tags, capitals for emphasis and one serialized list were replaced by readable text. No figure, statute cite or form number changed; every value still traces to the official source checked on September 4.

The row is now labelled 'Filing fee (published by the filing office)'.

Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Utah, Washington and West Virginia each gain a fee row on the DBA legal profile. Nevada, for example, shows the county-clerk fee under NRS 19.013: $20 base, $25 maximum. Every carried row keeps the verification it already held.

Eleven states keep a fee gap because it concerns a fee the site does not hold at the state level: county recorder fees for individuals in Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana and Wisconsin, Maine's municipal fee, renewal and other sub-fees in Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and the Virgin Islands, and Kansas, which has no act.

Arkansas showed '22 filing fees revised' with rows such as LLC formation $45.00 to $45.00. Those rows were verification confirmations recorded on September 4, not changes; they are excluded now. The Arkansas card keeps the real changes: the certificate of good standing rising from $15.00 to $25.00, the $28.00 online figure, and the new $15.00 certificate of existence.

The certificate of existence transaction now carries its plain-language label in both editions instead of the internal field name.

The 782 county and town rows behind the DBA regime pages were re-read at the clerk's own site or the statutory schedule (Connecticut's $20 town-clerk fee under P.A. 24-111, for example). 280 confirmed, 300 filled where no fee had been recorded, 16 corrected, and 185 left pending where no official statement could be found. Each row in a jurisdiction's county table now carries its status.

The research-substrate entity-tax record has left the public inventory; the structured, verified entity-tax dataset is the one that counts. The substrate still informs the LLC cost model where the structured record is silent.

The footer states what is and is not claimed: statutory text is public law and not subject to copyright; the compilation, verification records, analyses, glossary and presentation are. Facts may be quoted with attribution and a link; bulk reuse of the compilation requires permission.

A small feed of verified closures (only calendars that cleared the review gate) is published with the site; the notice is composed in your browser against your own date, so it is current whenever you look. Both editions. Jurisdictions without a verified calendar for a date are counted as such, never guessed. Nothing changes for readers with scripts disabled.

703 of the 794 fee values on this site were confirmed against the filing agency's own published schedule or the statute and cleared the review gate; their cells, the jurisdiction fee tables and the cost models now show the verified mark with the official page as the authority. The 91 that did not clear are marked pending review with the reason: a portal surcharge no official page states, a value the official source contradicts (held for a correction), or a source that could not be reached.

Every 2026 calendar and the 2027 calendars the states have already published were checked row by row against the official state holiday schedules; 77 of 107 are verified, with Puerto Rico's 2027 territorial holidays and several election-day and observance rows added. The 2027 calendars most states have not yet published stay pending review until they do.

913 of 914 records - excerpts, citations, fee amounts and FAQ answers - were checked word by word against the statute corpus and cleared the gate. One Puerto Rico publication record was refuted (the regulation does require a gazette notice) and is held pending correction.

The 53 DBA regime profiles, the 38 filing-channel rows still pending, the Puerto Rico and Guam governance rules and the Puerto Rico, Guam and US Virgin Islands good-standing vocabulary were re-verified at official sources; the inventory table on the home page and the coverage page carry the outcome per dataset, computed from the records at build time.

The home-page inventory now states, for every dataset, how many records are verified out of how many held, and why the remainder are not; the coverage page's fee-provenance gap is restated with the numbers. A record acquired from an internal source and later verified against the official page is treated as verified, with its acquisition history kept as evidence.

The news-style block introduced in v0.8.02 sits below the headline figures instead of directly under the masthead, so the page opens on what the record holds and then on what has changed in it. The Spanish edition places it below the citation-and-verification note. Content and links are unchanged.

Forty-five files in the Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee statute libraries were renamed so that no filename names a commercial code publisher. The texts themselves are byte-for-byte unchanged, and the build check that keeps the publisher's name out of visible text now covers the library pages as well.

A news-style block under the masthead, in both editions, lists up to six items newest first: fee changes already enacted with an effective date inside the next 120 days, and the latest applied corrections, each with the old and new value, the effective or recorded date, the authority where it resolves to an official source, and links to the jurisdiction page and to the change log or forward calendar. A cross-jurisdiction wave collapses to one item. Nothing is typed by hand; if there is nothing to show, the block is not rendered.

The v0.8.00 release notes referred to a commercial code publisher by name; they now describe the change without it, and the build check fails if the name appears in the visible text of any page outside the statute text library's own corpus filenames.

Plain-text extracts of manifested captures and section files a manifest lists as a numbered range are published again, and the Florida chapters return to the library. The leak guard on raw captures no longer trips on a state site's own navigation markup.

The data change log and the upcoming-changes calendar carried links to a commercial code publisher for one state's fee change. The link gate now applies to every outbound link on the site, so it cannot recur anywhere.

A citation whose only official publisher cannot be linked now shows as verified with a 'publisher not linked' note, rather than being downgraded to 'pending review'. Verification and linkability are separate questions.

Every statute quotation is traced to its record's review status when the page is generated; a quotation below the bar stops the build. The share of the dataset shown is computed, not asserted.

Raw captures are republished only when the jurisdiction's manifest lists them, with scripts, event handlers, frames, external stylesheets and unsafe links stripped, and a no-index instruction in every copy. Files no longer sourced are removed.

The site was generated against a fixed date; it is now dated the day it is built, so 'becomes $X on ...' and 'days from this build' cannot go stale. A calendar with nothing pending says so instead of failing.

Rows promoted to verified were dropping out of the ranking; values now render from provisional review upward and citations appear once a row is verified.

Dotted glossary links no longer appear inside quoted statute text, status chips, citation identifiers or charts.

Citation counts, jurisdiction counts, fee figures and retrieval dates in page titles and summaries are read from the datasets; links to files that did not exist were removed.

Every build now ends with an automated check of the generated pages (no publisher links, no-index on raw copies, sitemap integrity, every quotation traceable to a verified record) and refuses to finish if any fails.

Formation and annual-report fees for limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, and limited liability limited partnerships join the canonical fee tables, each verified against the state's own statute or published schedule.

Not every state offers an LLLP election, and in several states an LP owes no periodic report at all. Those rows now read 'not offered' or 'no report required' with the statutory citation whose silence or contrast proves the absence - never an empty cell.

The governance section on each jurisdiction page previously showed values only, everything marked pending review. The rules are now verified: each carries its citation, the verbatim statutory text, and a link to the official code section. Puerto Rico's record remains provisionally reviewed - its values render, its citations wait for the review pass.

One table across every jurisdiction: who requires an annual shareholder or member meeting, who allows written consent instead, where bylaws are mandatory, and the few states that require an LLC operating agreement.

A handful of fee rows rendered internal keys like 'lp' and 'certificate_of_good_standing' instead of readable labels. All transaction and entity typesEntity typesLLC (limited liability company), corporation (for-profit; 'profit corporation' in some states' vocabulary), nonprofit corporation, LP (limited partnership), LLP (limited liability partnership), LLLP (limited liability limited partnership),Read the full entry → now carry their proper names.

89 pages: portada, 53 jurisdiction fee pages on the same slugs as English, glosario with every term, both cost rankings, and que-es-facts. The same citation and review-status gates apply - values below the verification bar are withheld identically in both languages.

On English pages, Puerto Rico's Spanish statutory text carries an English staff translation; on Spanish pages, each state's primary verified statute quote carries a Spanish staff translation. Every gloss is marked as an incFACTS staff translation, not certified.

Browsers set to Spanish see a dismissible "Esta página está disponible en español" bar on pages that have a Spanish counterpart. The choice is remembered; there is no automatic redirect.

Every paired page declares its English and Spanish alternates and an x-default, so search results serve the right language directly.

The automatic term-linker treated a glossary page's own term like any other mention, producing a self-link with a hover tooltip in the breadcrumb. A term page no longer links to itself.

The note under each definition now reads: dot-underlined mentions of this term across the site lead back to this page.

Citations were shortened at the first semicolon even when it sat inside a parenthetical, leaving an unclosed paren (seen on the Puerto Rico entry). Trimming now respects parentheses.

Mississippi restricts bank, banker, bankers, banking, and trust company (an eligibility rule - the entity must be chartered as a bank); Tennessee restricts bank, banks, banking, and the bare word trust, each with a commissioner-consent path. Both sourced from the state's official code publisher and quoted verbatim.

Every release is documented here with its user-visible changes. The header pill links to this page and shows a dot until you've seen the current release. Versioning follows 0.minor.patch while in beta; 1.0.00 lands when the feature surface stabilizes.

The change log (data corrections) and this page (site releases) now reference each other so it's clear which question each answers.

Structured records for all 54 jurisdictions: 29 states levy a franchise or equivalent privilege tax, 25 demonstrably do not. Each taxing state carries basis, rates, minimum/maximum, due date, and citation; each no-tax state carries the affirmative finding.

Ranks the recurring annual cost of corporate existence - report fees plus franchise minimums - across every jurisdiction, with the franchise-equals-annual-report states counted once, not twice.

Verified phone, mail, and portal contact points for each filing office, with the best-for-filings point called out. Source-linked where the office publishes the point we verified.

Which submission channels each state actually accepts, per filing type - including where online filing is mandatory and where fax is officially dead.

PR and USVI now have full jurisdiction pages; canonical fee coverage reaches all 54 U.S. jurisdictions.

A stale loader kept channel tables off every hub except Florida even though the data existed for all 54. All hubs now render them.

The county-DBA chart's California parser predated the current dataset shape and could take down the whole page build. Rewritten against the current shape.

An enacted change used to be written as 'upcoming' and could read that way after its effective date passed. Every rebuilt page now renders matured changes as 'now in effect' with the date they landed.

Type-ahead filtering over every term, alias, and definition. The count updates live; clearing the box restores the full list.

Read the glossary as full definition cards or scan it as a compact table. The choice is remembered between visits.

FQ, AL, COGS, and SOP - each defined in plain English with the practice context the abbreviation carries.

Formation, annual-report, and certificate fees with the statutory citation, the official source, the retrieval date, and the review status of every value.

The entity statutes behind the numbers, quoted verbatim from official publishers, with elisions marked.

Which words a state restricts or prohibits in an entity name, the statute that says so, and what consent unlocks them - expanded from Nevada-only to national coverage.

Read-only programmatic access carrying the same citations and review-status gates as the site. Certificate-fee comparison and discrepancy reporting included.

Cross-state analyses: certificate-of-good-standing pricing, DBA regimes, publication requirementsPublication requirementA few states require newly formed or registered entities to publish a notice in designated newspapers (New York's LLC publication is the expensive example) - a real cost of formation that fee tables usually omit.Read the full entry →, entity-type splits, and closure costs.
