Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) are established through the New York State Department of State. After filing the LLC's Articles of Formation with the Secretary of State, the LLC must publish notice of formation. The Westchester County Clerk is limited to designating the two publications in which you must publish the required notice of formation. Please feel free to download the Designation of Publications from the Westchester County Clerk. After publication has occurred, a Certificate of Publication, with affidavits of publication from each of the newspapers, must be submitted to the Department of State for filing with the required fee. For information on setting up an LLC or filing a Certificate of Publication, please visit New York State Department of State, Division of Corporations.
