Effective August 1, 2026, Delaware is increasing numerous fees.

Written By Jared Schrader

The most impactful will be the annual franchise tax for LLCs/LPs/GPs, which is increasing to $400, from $300.

For dissolutions, conversions and mergers that are effectuated on or before July 31st, the due and owing 2026 franchise tax amount will remain $300, but the increase to $400 will apply to all LLCs/LPs/GPs in existence on and after August 1st.

The "up to" amount for various expedite filing fees is also increasing, but at least as of August 1st, these new caps will not be used and expedite fees won't be changing.

See below for a table showing the full list of fee increases set to take effect:
