I run a small LLC in Oregon and we're moving our office to a different part of Portland. Do I need to file something with the state? And what about the registered agent , does that address change too? I'm getting mixed info from Google. Thanks!
LLC address
What happens if my Oregon LLC changes its principal address?
You have to update your principal address with the Secretary of State. It's not automatic. File an amendment or just update it in the annual report if that that's coming up.
Registered agent address is separate from principal address. Don't assume they're the same. If your RA is changing, that's another form.
Also, if you have a business license with the city, you might need to update that too. Multnomah County might care. Not legal advice, just been there.
Wait, you guys actually read the Secretary of State website? I just call them. They're surprisingly helpful and don't make you feel dumb.
Calling is fine but the wait times are brutal lately. I filed online last month and it was quick.
lol @ 'mixed info from Google' — that's every legal question ever. Just go straight to the SOS site. They have a fee schedule and forms.
One thing to watch: if you move your principal address, but forget to update your registered agent address and they're the same, you could miss important mail. That happened to a friend and they almost got administratively dissolved.
Administrative dissolution sounds scary but it's fixable. Just don't ignore it.
Thanks all. So it sounds like I need to file an amendment for the principal address, and if my registered agent is me at the same address address, I need to update that too. Is there a fee?
Pretty sure it's $100 for the amendment. But double-check. Also, you might just wait for your annual report if it's due soon — you can update it there for free or cheaper.
Actually the annual report doesn't let you change the registered agent. Only principal address. So if RA is changing, separate form. I think it's $100 for RA change too.
This This thread is making me realize I've been putting off updating my own address for like 8 months. Oops.
You're not alone. I think half the LLCs in Oregon have outdated addresses. The state doesn't hunt you down for it unless something else goes wrong.
Unless you get sued and they can't serve you. Then it's a bad day. But yeah, mostly it's fine until it's not.
