Your Oregon LLC Annual Report Renews on the Registry Date Anniversary
The Corporation Division labels the Oregon LLC annual report a “renewal”: $100, due each year on the anniversary of the date your articles of organization were filed. An LLC organized outside Oregon pays $275.
Enter the Registry Date
The due date, the fee and the date your filed information must match all follow from that one day.
The Registry Date Anniversary, and the Date 30 Days Before It
ORS 63.001 counts the anniversary in whole years from the date the Secretary of State recorded the articles of organization (the tool moves a February 29 date to February 28 in other years). For an LLC organized outside Oregon, the clock starts when Oregon files its application for authority, so its home-state formation date plays no part. Business Name Search lists that date as the Registry Date.
The report itself is due “by the limited liability company’s anniversary” under ORS 63.787, and the same section adds a second date: the information in the report must be current as of 30 days before that anniversary. An LLC registered on Friday, April 17, 2026 runs through its first cycle like this:
- Around mid-February 2027Email renewal notice, for LLCs signed up for one
- Feb. 26 to Mar. 3Paper notice mailed, about 45 to 50 days ahead
- March 18, 2027Addresses, agent and members must be correct as of this day
- April 17, 2027First annual report due (a Saturday)
For that Saturday, ORS 174.125 points to Monday, April 19, the next day the Corporation Division is open, but the statute speaks of filing periods rather than a fixed anniversary, so filing by Friday, April 16 is the safe course.
Owners who sign up for electronic renewal notices get the email nearly two weeks before the letter would arrive. The confirmation link in the sign-up email expires after 72 hours, and the Renewal Help page puts the paper notice at about 45 days ahead, while the office’s page on misleading mailers says about 50.
Why the Renewal Costs $100, or $275 for an LLC Formed Elsewhere
Both amounts are in the statute itself. ORS 56.140(2) sets a nonrefundable $100 filing fee for each Oregon LLC’s annual report, and section 56.140(3) sets $275 for LLCs registered under an application for authority. The renewal cost is the same online and on paper, and Oregon adds no late fee to a renewal filed after its date.
| Filing with the Corporation Division | Oregon LLC | LLC formed elsewhere |
|---|---|---|
| Annual report (renewal), every year | $100 | $275 |
| Articles of organization or application for authority, once | $100 | $275 |
| Amendment to annual report, between two renewals | $0 | $0 |
| New registered agent or a new address | $0 | $0 |
| Articles of dissolution (a withdrawal, if organized elsewhere) | $100 | $275 |
The figures come from the Business Registry Fee Schedule, which states that every fee is paid in advance. One exception sits in ORS 56.140(3)(b): an entity owned, chartered or registered by an eligible Indian tribe pays $100 instead of $275 when it attaches a certificate showing that link.
An Email and a Registry Number Open the Oregon Online Renewal
To file the Oregon annual report through the online renewal, two entries open the LLC’s file: an email address and the registry number.
- Select Renew Existing BusinessEnter the email address, then the registry number. Without the number, Find My Business looks it up by the LLC’s name.
- Select Retrieve Renewal DetailThe LLC’s current information opens. Start Renewal works only once the renewal is due.
- Check the ORS 63.787 itemsRegistered agent and its Oregon street address, principal office, the managers or at least one member, and a description of the main business activity.
- Sign and pay by credit cardA member or manager signs, declaring under penalty of perjury that the filing hides no one’s identity (ORS 63.004).
- Keep the two emailsA payment receipt comes right away, then the filed annual report as an attachment. On October 8, 2026, the Corporation Division listed online renewals at 1 to 3 business days, while mail filings received on October 1 were being processed.
For a paper filing, the form exists only while a renewal is due: the LLC’s record then shows a link to print it, and changes are written beside the struck-out entries. Under ORS 63.004, delivery counts on the day the office receives the form, so a letter posted a few days before the anniversary can arrive after it.
Afterward, the LLC’s record in the Oregon business registry search shows the new Next Renewal Date, with the filing at the top of its Summary History.
45 Days to Fix a Returned Report, 45 After a Dissolution Notice
A report returned for correction
If a filed report leaves out required information, ORS 63.787(4) has the Secretary of State return it in writing, and the LLC corrects it within 45 days. The email that flags the problem links back to the filing, and resubmitting costs nothing.
A renewal never filed
This clock starts only when the Secretary of State gives written notice of the missed renewal, and Oregon publishes no timetable for that notice. If the report and fee are still missing 45 days after the notice, ORS 63.651 requires dissolution.
No calculator can therefore give a dissolution date. Once dissolved, the LLC is limited to winding up its business under ORS 63.651(3).
After Revocation, the Secretary of State Becomes a Foreign LLC’s Agent
For a foreign LLC, the term Oregon law uses for one registered here under an application for authority, a missed $275 renewal leads to revocation of its authority rather than dissolution, also 45 days after a written notice (ORS 63.741). Revocation ends the registered agent’s authority, and the Secretary of State becomes the agent for lawsuits over business done while the LLC was authorized.
Reinstating an Oregon LLC From the Renewal Page
A dissolved Oregon LLC comes back through the Reinstate link on the same online renewal page, paying the skipped annual fees, the count the tool gives, plus a reinstatement fee that the Business Registry Fee Schedule doesn’t list. A name now registered to someone else must be changed first, according to the Reinstate a Business page.
| After a missed renewal | Oregon LLC | Foreign LLC |
|---|---|---|
| Registered agent | Stays in place, ORS 63.651(4) | Authority ends, ORS 63.741(5) |
| Time to apply for reinstatement | 5 years from dissolution, ORS 63.654 | 5 years from revocation, ORS 63.747 |
| Past five years | Waiver if it kept operating as an active concern, on special forms, ORS 63.654(4) | No waiver in the statute |
Articles of Dissolution or a Lapsed Renewal for an Unused LLC
Filing articles of dissolution costs $100, the same as one renewal. For an LLC that never did business, the choice is between paying that $100 to close it or leaving the renewal unpaid, and the two endings leave different records.
- Articles of dissolutionThe LLC files them on a date it picks, and the record shows a dissolution the company asked for.
- A renewal left unpaidNo fee is paid at the time. The record shows an administrative dissolution after the 45-day notice, and the missed annual fees come back at reinstatement.
