Oregon LLC Annual Report: Step-By-Step Filing Guide (Updated: May. 2026)

The state of Oregon is a great place to form and operate a Limited Liability Company (LLC), as it offers competitive business costs and simplified tax filing procedures.

But every LLC operating in the state has to file an Annual Report with the Oregon Secretary of State. It ensures that the state has up-to-date business information and keeps your LLC in good standing.

You can file your Oregon LLC Annual Report online using the state Business Registry portal. Alternatively, you can print your completed form and send it by mail, fax, or in person. I’ve walked you through the online process to ensure you file your Oregon Annual Report correctly and on time.

An Overview Of The Oregon LLC Annual Report

Under ORS §63.787, the state of Oregon LLC Annual Report is a mandatory state filing that keeps the state up-to-date with your current business information.

It includes essential business details, such as:

• Your LLC name.
• Your principal office address.
• Your Registered Agent’s details.
• All member and manager names.

Its primary purpose is to ensure that the Oregon Secretary of State maintains accurate, up-to-date records of all businesses operating in the state. Completing your report ensures that you remain in good standing and do not get administratively dissolved by the state.

The Oregon LLC Annual Report fee is $100, regardless of the filing method you use.

1. Filing Options For The Oregon LLC Annual Report

You can use two main processing methods when filing your Oregon Annual Report for your LLC:

• Online filing (Business Registry web renewal): Your Annual Report is typically processed within 1–2 business hours. You’ll get a confirmation email along with a copy of your filed report. This is the fastest and most convenient filing option.
• Paper filing: Download the Annual Report Form from the Business Registry Web Renewal portal and complete the required sections. Send your completed form to the Oregon Secretary of State along with the $100 fee payment. Your report will typically be processed in several days, + the additional mailing time. I’ll discuss the different paper filing options below.

2. The Oregon Annual Report Due Date

You must file your Oregon LLC Annual Report every year by your LLC’s anniversary formation date. This is the date that the Oregon Secretary of State officially approved your Articles of Organization.

Note: Use the Oregon Business Registry database to locate your Articles of Organization by searching your LLC’s name.

Your first Annual Report is due in the calendar year FOLLOWING the year that your LLC was officially formed.

Example: Your Oregon LLC was formed on May 3, 2026. Your first Annual Report is due by May 3, 2027.

You’ll be mailed a renewal notice from the Oregon Secretary of State approximately 45 days before your report’s renewal due date.

Once you’ve received your notice, you can immediately file your Annual Report.

I advise that you file your Annual Report on time to avoid state penalties and potential administrative dissolution. I’ve discussed these in more detail below.

Filing Your Oregon Annual Report: A Step-By-Step Guide

You can file your Oregon Annual Report using two main types of submission methods:

1. Online filing (Business Registry web).
2. Printed paper filing (Mail, fax, in-person).

The online filing method is much more efficient and faster than the other filing methods. Furthermore, it provides instant confirmation. However, I’ll take you through both filing methods so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

1. Completing The Oregon Annual Report Online

Start by locating your Oregon LLC’s Registry Number. This is on your approved Articles of Organization filed with the Oregon Secretary of State to officially form your LLC.

You can find this on your official approval document, or use the Oregon Business Entity Search to search your legal LLC name.

Go to the Business Registry web renewal page and enter your LLC’s Registry Number once you have it.

Click the “Renew online” button to begin your filing process.

Following this, enter your email address in both designated fields. This is where your Acknowledgement Letter and Annual Report will be sent once successfully filed and approved.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Start renewal” to continue.

These are the 5 sections that you must complete when filing your Annual Report:

a. Business Overview

In your Business Overview section, the required fields should already be auto-populated. Review the information carefully to make sure everything is correct. You can leave everything as-is if this is the case.

Alternatively, update each field as needed. I’ve discussed the required fields below.

b. Jurisdiction And Physical Location

In the next section, update your principal place of business address. You can leave it unchanged if it remains the same.

This address must be a physical street address and can be in any U.S. state. It cannot be a P.O. box or a private mailbox, as it will appear as your principal office location in the record.

c. Notification Delivery Options

After confirming your physical location, you need to update or keep your preferred delivery options as-is. This is where you may receive official notices from the Oregon Secretary of State.

Note: Your address in this section will determine how the Secretary of State will send correspondence and future Annual Report reminders.

Choose one of the following delivery methods:

• Mail: Notices are received through postal mail.
• Paper: Notices are received electronically in digital format.
• Both: Notices are received through both postal mail and electronic delivery.

Proceed to the next section when you’re happy with your current selections.

d. Registered Agent

Once you’ve chosen your notification delivery options, you’ll be asked to update your Registered Agent’s information. You can leave this section as-is if there have been no changes.

Select “Individual” at the top of the form if your Registered Agent is an individual (You, a friend, or a family member). Then, enter their full name and physical Oregon street address.

Select “Entity of record” if your Registered Agent is a commercial Registered Agent entity. Then, enter their Registry number, entity name, and physical Oregon street address.

The Registered Agent address must be a physical Oregon street address. It cannot be a P.O. box, Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA), or a private mailbox. This is set under ORS §63.111.

e. Member/Manager

After completing your Registered Agent details, you’ll see the “Member/manager” section underneath.

You should see your existing LLC members or managers already listed. If there have been no changes, leave this section blank.

You can add new members or managers if needed (Or remove former ones). Here’s how to add a new member or manager:

1. Click “Add Member/manager.”
2. A pop-up should appear.
3. Choose whether the individual is a Member or Manager at the top of the pop-up.
4. Click “Continue” when you’re finished.

Once you’ve completed the required information, your final task is to review it for accuracy. Check each section carefully and correct any errors by clicking the “Edit” link.

Click “Continue” at the bottom of the page once all information looks correct.

Following this, you should get a verification and confirmation prompt. This will ask you to confirm that the information you’ve reviewed has been reviewed accurately. Click “Yes” to proceed.

2. Enter your first and last name.
3. Check the “Sign” box to electronically sign the form.
4. Click “Submit” to send the completed form.

6. Review the information in the report.

Note: Draw a single line through any errors and write the correct details next to it clearly.

Approval Time For The Oregon LLC Annual Report

The time it takes for your Oregon LLC Annual Report to be processed depends on your filing method.

• Online filing: Typically on the same day.
• In-person filing: Often completed the same day, but not guaranteed.
• Mail or fax filing: Processing takes several days. The exact timeframe depends on the mail delivery and state processing volume.

The Oregon Secretary of State will send you an email with your Acknowledgment Letter once your Annual Report is successfully processed and filed.

Note: I recommend that you save a copy of your Acknowledgment Letter and keep it with your official business records.

You can get a copy of your Annual Report filing by searching for your LLC’s name in the Oregon Business Registry.

1. Scroll down to the “Summary history” section at the bottom of your business profile.
2. You should see a document icon to the left of your recently filed Annual Report.
3. Click the icon to download a copy.
4. Save a copy for your business records.

Oregon Annual Report Penalties For Non-Filing

You’re automatically granted a 45-day grace period by the Oregon Secretary of State once your Annual Report due date has passed. The state will administratively dissolve your LLC if you fail to file your report within this period. This is set under the Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) §63.647 (2).

If this happens, your LLC loses its good standing with the state and its legal authority to conduct business in the state. You must file a Reinstatement Form, pay a $100 penalty, and submit your missed Annual Reports to reinstate your LLC.

Note: You will be charged the $100 filing fee for each Annual Report.
