Oregon Foreign Registration / Fees
What an Oregon foreign LLC pays, from application to exit
Oregon charges $275 to register a foreign LLC, $275 for the annual report every year, and $275 to withdraw. A change of registered agent or address costs nothing. Our charge for preparing the filing is $199, shown on its own line.
Every Oregon charge for a foreign LLC
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Application for authority | $275 |
| Annual report, each anniversary | $275 |
| Amendment of the authority | $275 |
| Withdrawal | $275 |
| Change of registered agent or address | no fee |
| Amendment to an annual report | no fee |
| Service of process on the Secretary of State | $20 |
The statute sets the application and annual report at $275 and prices any other related document of such an entity at the same figure. A reinstatement after revocation is paid with the missed annual fees plus a reinstatement fee.
Why the fee is the same both ways
Oregon's statute prices the annual report of an entity that paid the application fee at the same level, so there is no discount for renewing and no surcharge for a first filing. The Secretary of State's schedule lists the renewal line beside the application line, which makes it easy to check.
First filing for other entity types
| Entity | Apply | Yearly |
|---|---|---|
| Business corporation | $275 | $275 |
| Nonprofit corporation | $50 | $50 |
| Limited partnership | $275 | $275 |
| Limited liability partnership | $275 | Quoted when you order |
A foreign nonprofit also pays $50 to amend or withdraw.
How the fee is set
Oregon's fee statute puts the application for authority of a foreign LLC, corporation or partnership at $275, and it puts the annual report of an entity that paid that fee at the same $275. Foreign nonprofits pay the lower figure of $50 to apply and $50 each year. The Secretary of State's fee schedule repeats the figures line by line.
Worked totals
| Situation | Oregon fees | Made up of |
|---|---|---|
| LLC registers | $275 | $275 |
| Registers and files the first annual report | $550 | $275 + $275 |
| Registers, files three annual reports | $1,100 | $275 + 3 x $275 |
| Registers and withdraws in the first year | $550 | $275 + $275 |
| Registers, files once, withdraws | $825 | $275 + $275 + $275 |
| Corporation, first year | $550 | $275 + $275 |
| Nonprofit, first year | $100 | $50 + $50 |
| Delaware-formed LLC, year one with its tax | $675 | $275 + $400 |
| Wyoming-formed LLC, year one with its minimum | $335 | $275 + $60 |
Why the second year matters
An LLC that registers for $275 is committing to $275 a year, and over three years the state fees are $1,100, not $275. That is worth knowing before you decide whether a small Oregon footprint justifies registering, or whether a single job fits the isolated-transaction exclusion.
What counts as a back fee
An LLC that did business here unauthorized owes the state the fees it skipped: the application plus every annual report since. For two years of unauthorized business that is the application fee plus two annual fees, $825; for three years it is $1,100. The penalty page explains the rule.
Costs outside the schedule
A home-state certificate, if Oregon needs one, is priced by the home state: $50 for a Delaware short form, and $0 from Wyoming online. An agent's fee is the agent's own. Oregon taxes are outside this page.
Reading the renewal fee
In Oregon the annual report costs $275, the same as the application, for a foreign LLC, a foreign corporation and a foreign limited partnership. Only a foreign nonprofit pays less, at $50. If an Oregon footprint is small, compare three years of reports with the cost of withdrawing.
