Oregon LLC Reinstatement: The Exact Steps
Oregon dissolves LLCs for failure to file annual reports with the Secretary of State. Annual reports are due by the anniversary of LLC formation each year. The path back requires filing a reinstatement application with the correct state agency and clearing all outstanding fees.
Your business name is at risk: Once dissolved, your Oregon business name can be claimed by another party. Every day you remain dissolved increases that risk. Act quickly.
