Whichever agent you pick, the state's fees stay the same.
Why does the state want an agent?
Think of it as the LLC's mailbox in Oregon for court papers and government letters.
A good agent tells you quickly when something arrives, which is worth asking about before you sign up. What is service of process?
What does the LLC owe the state each year?
One filing keeps coming back: the annual report, each year, for $100. The state says it is due anniversary of the LLC's formation in Oregon.
How was the bottom line figured? Add the filing fee, the next two reports and the minimum tax if the state has one. Anything with no fixed price, a newspaper notice for instance, is described above and kept out of the sum.
Still wondering?
Can I be my own agent?
Yes, provided you meet the state's rules on who may serve and on the address, both laid out above.
Which addresses does the state accept?
The address has to be a physical street address in Oregon where papers can be handed over. A commercial mail receiving agency, mail-forwarding business or virtual office is not accepted.
Each state fee links to its official page, and each service price is read from the company's own site.
Do I have to use a service?
No. What the law asks for is a filing, and it does not say who has to send it.
Which one do you recommend in Oregon?
Mainstay Filing, because the price is $149 a year here and exactly the same in every other state. After that, Oregon Registered Agent.co and OR Registered Agent.org.
