Every Oregon LLC and corporation must file an annual report with the Oregon Secretary of State to maintain good standing. This isn't just a formality — it's a legal requirement that keeps your business information current in the public registry and confirms your entity is still active.
Missing the annual report deadline triggers late fees and, if left unresolved, can lead to administrative dissolution of your business. Understanding the requirements, deadlines, and filing process is essential for every Oregon business owner.

Who Must File an Annual Report in Oregon?
The following entity types are required to file annual reports with the Oregon Secretary of State:
- Oregon LLCs (domestic and foreign)
- Oregon corporations (domestic and foreign)
- Limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships
- Nonprofit corporations
Sole proprietorships and general partnerships are not required to file annual reports, as they are not registered entities with the SOS.
Oregon Annual Report Deadlines
Oregon annual reports are due on the anniversary of your entity's formation or registration date. For example, if your LLC was formed on March 15, your annual report is due each year by March 15.
The Oregon SOS typically sends a reminder notice 45 days before your due date to the registered agent's address on file. This is one reason maintaining an accurate registered agent is so important — if your agent's address is outdated, you may not receive the reminder.
Filing Fees and Late Penalties
Oregon annual report fees vary by entity type:
- LLC annual report: $100
- Corporation annual report: $100
- Nonprofit corporation: $50
- Late filing penalty: $100 additional fee after the due date
If you miss the deadline and don't file within the grace period, the Oregon SOS will begin the administrative dissolution process. Reinstating a dissolved entity requires additional fees and paperwork.
What Information Is Required?
Oregon annual reports are relatively straightforward. You'll need to confirm or update the following information:
- Business name and principal office address
- Registered agent name and Oregon street address
- Names and addresses of members/managers (LLCs) or officers/directors (corporations)
- Brief description of the nature of business
Filing is done online through the Oregon Secretary of State's business registry portal at sos.oregon.gov. The process typically takes less than 10 minutes if your information is current.
Never Miss an Oregon Annual Report Deadline
Oregon annual reports are a routine compliance obligation, but missing the deadline is costly. The $100 late fee doubles your filing cost, and continued non-compliance risks your business's good standing.
