Oregon LLC Annual Report: Due Date, Fee and What Happens If You Miss It

How the Annual Report works in Oregon

Oregon treats the yearly LLC filing as a renewal of the registration, and the Corporation Division of the Secretary of State calls it the annual report. A domestic LLC pays $100; a foreign LLC registered in Oregon pays $275, which surprises out-of-state owners comparing costs. The deadline is the anniversary of the original filing date, not a common statewide date, and the state mails a renewal notice about 45 days before it. The report must be accurate as of 30 days before the anniversary and lists the registered agent, principal office, primary business activity, and the managers or at least one member, all of which become public record. Oregon charges no late fee. Instead, a missed renewal triggers a written notice, and if the LLC still has not filed within 45 days, it is administratively dissolved and appears as inactive on the Business Registry.

First report: The first annual report is due on the first anniversary of the LLC's original filing date; the formation fee covers the first year.

When your Annual Report is due: worked examples

If you miss the deadline

• No separate late fee; an LLC that misses the anniversary is sent a notice and is administratively dissolved if it does not cure within 45 days.
• If the report or fee is not delivered, the Secretary of State sends written notice; if the LLC does not file within 45 days after that notice, it is administratively dissolved under ORS 63.651 and shows as inactive.
• Fixing a dissolved or forfeited LLC is covered in our Oregon LLC reinstatement guide.

How to file the Oregon Annual Report

• Renew online through the Oregon Business Registry (sos.oregon.gov/renew) using the LLC's registry number, paying by card; a paper renewal can also be mailed to the Corporation Division in Salem.
• What becomes public: The report lists the registered agent and registered office, principal office and mailing address, a description of the primary business activity, and the names and addresses of the managers (manager-managed) or of at least one member (member-managed).
• Official filing page: file with the state

What Oregon charges over five years

Counts only the formation fee and the Annual Report fee. Registered agent service, if you use one, typically adds $100 to $300 a year.

Mistakes Oregon owners make

• Budgeting $100 for a foreign LLC, when Oregon charges $275 a year to renew an out-of-state LLC's registration.
• Reporting information as of the filing date instead of as of 30 days before the anniversary, which is the date the statute uses.
• Assuming there is a grace period with a late fee, when Oregon instead sends a notice and dissolves the LLC 45 days later.
• Forgetting that a separately registered assumed business name has its own two-year renewal that the LLC renewal does not cover.
