Westchester County Designated Newspapers

NY LLC Law Section 206 requires every LLC to publish a notice of formation in newspapers designated by the county clerk. This is not optional — your LLC cannot obtain a Certificate of Publication without it.

Not any newspaper qualifies. Only newspapers on the Westchester County Clerk's approved list can be used for LLC publication. Using an unapproved newspaper means your publication does not count.

Two newspapers are required: typically one daily and one weekly, both serving Westchester County. Publication runs for 6 consecutive weeks in each.

Choosing the wrong newspaper means starting the entire process over. Our direct relationships with the designated newspapers eliminate this risk.

The Westchester County Clerk maintains the official list of newspapers approved for LLC publication notices. This designation carries legal weight — only newspapers on this list satisfy the publication requirement.

To be designated, newspapers must meet specific circulation and publication frequency requirements set by the county. These standards ensure that publication notices reach a meaningful audience within Westchester County.

The designation list can change. We monitor it continuously and maintain direct relationships with every newspaper on the current list. This means we know immediately if a designation is added or removed.
