LLC publication in Rockland County

Every new New York LLC must publish a notice for six weeks. For an LLC with an office in Rockland County (Monsey, Spring Valley, New City, Nyack, Suffern, Pomona and the rest of the county), the Rockland County Clerk designates the two newspapers.

Who picks the newspapers

The Rockland County Clerk designates them

Under section 206 of the New York LLC Law, the county clerk of the county where your LLC's office is located designates one daily and one weekly newspaper. You publish in those two, once a week for six consecutive weeks, within 120 days after your Articles of Organization take effect.

Rockland County Clerk, 1 South Main Street, Suite 100, New City, NY 10956. Clerk's office page.

Rockland rates are usually lower than New York City, but the six weeks and the $50 Certificate of Publication fee are the same everywhere in the state.

The steps for a Rockland County LLC

  1. Get the two designated newspapers from the Rockland County Clerk.
  2. Place the notice (or a copy of the Articles) with both papers.
  3. Let it run once a week for six weeks in each.
  4. Collect an affidavit of publication from each paper.
  5. File the Certificate of Publication with the Department of State with both affidavits, and pay the $50 state fee.

Can I choose cheaper newspapers in Rockland County?

What if my office moves to another county?

Publication follows the county of the office stated in your Articles when you publish. Tell us before we place the notice.

What happens if I miss the 120 days?

Your LLC's authority to do business in New York is suspended until the Certificate of Publication is filed. Filing late restores it.
