Oregon Annual Reports: $100 on Your Formation Anniversary

Oregon requires annual reports from every active LLC and corporation. Unlike states with fixed calendar deadlines, Oregon ties your due date to your formation anniversary. The fee is $100, and there is a 45-day grace period — but after that, dissolution proceedings can begin.

Key Facts

What Gets Reported

Your annual report updates the state on current business details:

• Business name and entity type
• Principal office address
• Registered agent name and address
• Names and addresses of officers or members/managers
• Authorized shares and par value (corporations)

If nothing changed, you confirm existing information and pay the $100 fee.

The 45-Day Grace Period

Oregon provides a 45-day window after your anniversary due date. During this period, you can still file without dissolution risk. After 45 days, the Secretary of State may proceed with administratively dissolving your business.

Dissolution means your business cannot legally operate — contracts become complicated, bank accounts can be frozen, and restoring your entity requires additional filings and fees.

Anniversary Dates Are Easy to Forget

States with fixed deadlines (like April 15 or November 15) are easier to remember because the date is universal. Oregon's anniversary-based system means your deadline is unique to your business. It does not align with tax season, fiscal year-end, or any other common business milestone.

This is exactly why we track it for you.

How We Help

As your registered agent ($99/year), our compliance support includes:

• Your specific anniversary tracked — not a generic reminder, but your actual due date
• Advance alerts with enough time to prepare and file
• Same-day forwarding of any state correspondence about your report status
• Portal access to review all compliance-related documents

The annual report filing itself is between you and the Secretary of State. We make sure you never forget it exists.

Oregon's Tax Context

Oregon has no sales tax, which simplifies many business operations. However, businesses with over $1 million in commercial activity receipts face the Corporate Activity Tax. The annual report requirement is separate from tax obligations — both must be maintained independently.

Filing Your Report

Submit online at sos.oregon.gov with the $100 fee. The process is straightforward once you have your entity information ready.

Registered Agent + Annual Report = Compliance

Two ongoing obligations for every Oregon business:

1. Registered agent — maintained continuously ($99/year through us)
2. Annual report — filed once per year on your anniversary ($100 to the state)

Both must stay current for your business to remain in good standing.
