Oregon Annual Report Filing Guide (2026): Deadlines, Fees, Penalties, and How to Stay Compliant

By Frank Tumminello | January 7, 2026

If you own or manage a business registered in Oregon, filing your Oregon Annual Report in 2026 is required to keep your entity in good standing with the Oregon Secretary of State. Miss the filing and you risk inactive status / administrative dissolution, delays obtaining a Certificate of Existence (good standing), and avoidable reinstatement work.

This guide explains Oregon’s 2026 annual report deadlines, typical fees, what happens if you miss the due date, and how FileForms helps business owners and professional firms automate compliance across Oregon and all 50 states.

Oregon Annual Report deadline in 2026 (anniversary-based)

Oregon does not use a single “one-date-for-everyone” annual report deadline. Instead, Oregon annual reports are due each year by your entity’s anniversary date (the date the entity was originally filed/registered in Oregon).

Key timing rules:

  • Your renewal/annual report is due on the anniversary date of the original filing.
  • Oregon typically sends renewal notices about 45 days before the due date.
  • Practically, most entities can file once the state opens the renewal period (often ~45 days ahead of the anniversary date).

Quick example (helps for 2026 planning)

If your Oregon LLC was formed on March 10, 2024, your 2026 annual report is due by March 10, 2026.

This “every-entity-has-its-own-date” structure is the #1 reason Oregon compliance gets missed—especially when you manage multiple entities.

Why Oregon reporting is tricky to track (especially with multiple entities)

Oregon is easy when you have one entity and a single owner-operator calendar. It gets hard fast when you have:

  • Multiple LLCs or corporations with different anniversary dates
  • Entities that were formed or foreign-qualified in different months
  • Portfolio companies, real estate SPVs, or client entities across multiple states
  • Address, officer, manager, or registered agent changes throughout the year

Common failure points we see:

  • Spreadsheet drift: one missed update and the “due date tracker” becomes unreliable
  • Staff turnover: knowledge of “who handles Oregon renewals” walks out the door
  • Notice delivery issues: renewal reminders go to an old mailing address or inbox
  • Multi-state confusion: Oregon’s anniversary dates collide with fixed-deadline states and “window open” periods, creating deadline traffic jams

Oregon annual report fees (what most businesses pay)

Oregon’s annual report fee varies by entity type. Common amounts include:

  • Domestic Oregon LLCs and corporations: typically $100
  • Domestic nonprofits: typically $50
  • Foreign entities registered in Oregon: often higher (commonly $275 for many foreign filings)

State fees can change, and some entity types differ—so if you manage a diverse entity mix, fee standardization is another reason workflows break.

What happens if you miss the Oregon annual report?

Missing the due date can lead to the entity becoming inactive and potentially administratively dissolved for failure to renew/file. Once inactive/dissolved, getting back to good standing typically requires:

  • Filing missing annual report(s)
  • Paying required state fees
  • Confirming registered agent/address requirements
  • Submitting reinstatement materials (when applicable)

The bigger cost is often operational:

  • Delays in financing, refinancing, closings, and contract execution
  • Problems obtaining a Certificate of Existence / Good Standing
  • Lost time and avoidable legal/compliance stress
