1. Does Oregon Require an LLC Annual Report?
Yes—Oregon generally requires LLCs to file an annual report (often called a yearly renewal). This filing keeps your Oregon Business Registry information current and helps your LLC remain active and in good standing.
2. What Oregon LLCs Must Do Each Year
For most Oregon LLCs, yearly compliance is simple. Your recurring items usually include:
Annual compliance checklist
- File the Oregon Annual Report (renewal): update required business details and pay the renewal fee
- Keep your Registered Agent valid: Oregon requires a registered agent with a qualifying Oregon address for service of process
- Maintain correct contact info: so you receive renewal notices and important state mail
- Federal tax return (IRS): depends on your LLC tax classification (SMLLC vs partnership vs S-corp election)
- Any local permits/licenses (if applicable): depending on city/county and business activity
3. Oregon LLC Annual Report Due Date
Oregon annual reports are typically due every year on the anniversary date of your original filing. Oregon commonly sends a renewal notice in advance so you can file before the due date.
Common scenario (easy example)
- You formed/registered your LLC on March 5
- Your annual report is typically due each year around March 5
- You can file early once the renewal window is open
What often causes founders to miss it?
- Assuming it’s a fixed calendar date (it’s usually anniversary-based)
- Not updating mailing address / notices go to old address
- Using a registered agent but not tracking renewal deadlines
- Too many states / too many entities to track manually
4. Oregon LLC Annual Report Fees
Oregon annual report fees commonly depend on whether your company is a domestic Oregon LLC or a foreign LLC (formed outside Oregon but registered to do business in Oregon).
| Entity Type | Typical Annual Report (Renewal) Fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Domestic Oregon LLC | $100 | Most Oregon-formed LLCs fall here |
| Foreign LLC (registered in Oregon) | $275 | For LLCs formed outside Oregon |

6. How to File Oregon LLC Annual Report (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Find your Oregon business record
Search for your Oregon record using the Oregon business search . Confirm the registry number and verify your annual report due date.
Step 2: Open the annual report / renewal filing
Start the annual report (renewal) process through the Oregon Business Registry renewal portal. If Oregon has already opened your renewal window, you’ll be able to proceed and submit updates.
Step 3: Update key details
Review and update (as needed): your principal office address, mailing address for notices, and registered agent details. Oregon generally treats many of these fields as public record.
Step 4: Add / confirm member or manager info
Oregon LLCs commonly need to list at least one member or manager if none are yet listed. Make sure the information is accurate and current.
Step 5: Pay and save proof
Pay the renewal fee and save your filing confirmation. Keep a PDF copy (or screenshots) in a “Compliance Folder” for banking and verification needs.
7. Tips to Stay Compliant
- Set a yearly reminder for your Oregon anniversary date
- Keep your mailing address for notices updated so renewal reminders reach you
- Maintain a valid registered agent with a qualifying Oregon street address
- Save filing confirmations and renewals in a dedicated compliance folder
- If you operate in multiple states, use a tracker (or a service) to avoid missed renewals
8. Late Filing, Inactive Status & Good Standing
Missing your Oregon annual report can create problems even if the LLC is not making revenue. The biggest risk is losing good standing (and potentially becoming inactive over time), which can trigger re-verification issues with banks, merchant accounts, marketplaces, and major clients.
- Good standing impact: compliance flags can slow down banking and payment processing
- Operational impact: vendors/clients may require proof of active status
- Fixing it later: can require extra steps (reinstatement/reactivation) and delays
| Compliance Item | Typical Timing | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Oregon Annual Report (Renewal) | Annually (anniversary date) | $100 domestic / $275 foreign |
| Registered Agent (if using a service) | Annually | $100–$300 (service-dependent) |
| Federal Income Tax Return | Annually | Varies |
9. Federal Compliance That Impacts Oregon LLCs
1. Federal tax return ( IRS )
Your Oregon LLC’s federal tax filing depends on classification: single-member LLCs often report on the owner’s return, partnerships file an informational return, and S-corp elections follow S-corp filing rules.
2. EIN (Employer Identification Number)
Many LLCs use an EIN to open bank accounts, hire employees, and work with payment processors. Keep your IRS EIN confirmation and compliance docs together for easy verification.
3. BOI updates (Corporate Transparency)
If your ownership or key details change, you may need to update beneficial ownership information (where applicable). This is separate from Oregon annual reporting but often comes up during yearly compliance reviews.
4. Other recurring federal obligations
- Payroll tax filings if the LLC has employees
- Information returns (such as 1099 forms) when required
- Clean bookkeeping for audits, banking, and compliance reviews
