Reg A+ Blue Sky State Filing Fees


In the U.S., securities laws are regulated by federal and state governments. There are many similarities between Blue Sky Laws, however there are specific requirements that vary by state in regards to the required fee, as well as how securities may be registered. Even though Tier 2 filings are pre-empted from State registration per SEC rules, the SEC has declared that States have the authority to require Notice filings and state fees.

The Blue Sky state filing fees for Regulation A+ offerings can be found in the table below. Due to the number of nuanced requirements and complexity of fee computations, for specific questions, please consult Colonial Stock Transfer to help process your filings. Our blue sky services team can help you from start to finish. Also, see a full list of Regulation D 506 Blue Sky Fees
