Filing fees — verify before submitting

Oregon's online fee schedule page (fees.aspx) is currently unavailable. The most recent publicly accessible fee document dates to July 2013 — too stale to publish with confidence. Before filing, confirm current fees by calling the Corporation Division at (503) 986-2200 or emailing corporation.division@sos.oregon.gov.

For general reference, the 2013 document listed LLC formation at $100, for-profit corporation at $100, and nonprofit at $50, with annual renewal fees matching formation fees for LLCs and corporations. These figures have not been confirmed for the current fee schedule and should not be relied upon without verification.
