An Oregon LLC costs $397 all-in through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $100 Oregon Secretary of State filing fee. Oregon charges a $100 annual report every year, taxes personal income up to 9.9%, and applies the Corporate Activity Tax on gross receipts above $1 million, but charges no state sales tax. Oregon lists members or managers on the public record, so founders who need ownership privacy form a Wyoming or New Mexico anonymous LLC and foreign-qualify into Oregon when local operations require it.
An Oregon LLC costs $397 all-in through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 flat service fee plus the $100 Oregon state filing fee. That single price covers the state filing, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications. Oregon adds a $100 annual report every year, and the registered agent renews at $100/year from year two, so recurring maintenance runs about $200/year before any income tax. Founders who want the lowest ongoing cost and owner privacy instead form a Wyoming LLC at $397 all-in and foreign-qualify into Oregon. The $397 has no hidden upsells: the state filing, the year-one agent, the operating agreement, the EIN, and the bank applications are all inside that number. Add-on services such as an ITIN at $299 or a BOI report at $150 are quoted separately only when a founder needs them.
No. Oregon lists members or managers on the public Secretary of State record, so an Oregon LLC does not keep ownership private. Only four US states, Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, and Nevada, keep members and managers off the public filing. Founders who need anonymity form a Wyoming or New Mexico anonymous LLC and foreign-qualify that entity into Oregon when local operations demand it. See /wyoming-anonymous-llc/ or /anonymous-llc/ for the privacy path. A commercial registered agent keeps the founder's home address off the Oregon record, but it does not hide the owner's name where Oregon requires member or manager disclosure.
Forming an Oregon LLC takes six steps: name search, Articles of Organization ($100 state fee), registered agent appointment, operating agreement, EIN, and US bank account. The end-to-end timeline is 5-10 business days with Anonymousllc.co. The Oregon Secretary of State accepts the Articles within 1-3 business days. Anonymousllc.co runs the name check with two or three backups, files the Articles, obtains the EIN, drafts an Oregon-specific operating agreement, and submits bank applications to four or five partner banks in parallel so no single step stalls the launch. Oregon does not allow statutory series LLCs, so each entity is filed on its own.
An Oregon LLC is a federal pass-through by default: a single-member LLC is a disregarded entity and a multi-member LLC is a partnership, with profit flowing to the owners' personal returns. Oregon then taxes that income at a personal rate up to 9.9%. Oregon also applies the Corporate Activity Tax on commercial activity above $1 million in gross receipts, separate from income tax. An LLC can elect S-corporation treatment on IRS Form 2553 to move part of the profit out of the 15.3% self-employment tax once net income passes $40,000-$60,000. A non-resident-owned single-member LLC files Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120 each year, an information return rather than an income tax return. A Wyoming or New Mexico LLC carries no state income tax, which is one reason privacy-focused founders route through those states.
Oregon charges no state sales tax, one of a handful of US states with none. An Oregon LLC selling goods or services inside Oregon collects no state sales tax at the register. This makes Oregon attractive for retail and ecommerce sellers who want to avoid sales-tax collection at home, though the personal income tax up to 9.9% and the Corporate Activity Tax on gross receipts above $1 million offset the benefit for higher earners. Sales shipped into other states can still create sales-tax nexus under each destination state's own rules.
Oregon requires one annual report each year, filed with the Secretary of State for a $100 fee. The report is due on the LLC's formation anniversary date and confirms the registered agent, principal office, and management information. Missing the deadline moves the LLC out of good standing, and continued non-filing triggers administrative dissolution, which can retroactively void the liability shield. Anonymousllc.co tracks the anniversary date and files the Oregon annual report as part of registered agent service, so the entity stays compliant without the owner watching the calendar.
Yes. Every Oregon LLC must maintain a registered agent with a physical street address in Oregon, available during business hours to receive service of process and state mail. A PO Box does not qualify. Anonymousllc.co provides Oregon registered agent service at $100/year, included free in year one of any formation package. The agent's address appears on the public record instead of the owner's home or office, forwards state notices the day they arrive, and reminds the owner of the annual report deadline. See /oregon-registered-agent/ for the full scope of the service.
Yes. Non-US residents form Oregon LLCs without an SSN, ITIN, or visa, and never need to visit the United States. Oregon places no citizenship or residency condition on LLC ownership. Anonymousllc.co files the Articles, obtains the EIN by fax as third-party designee in 5-7 days, provides the Oregon registered agent address, drafts the operating agreement, and submits US bank applications remotely. A non-resident owner completes the entire setup over WhatsApp. A foreign-owned single-member LLC files Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120 each year.
Form directly in Oregon when the business has a physical Oregon presence, employees, or a storefront in the state. Form a Wyoming anonymous LLC and foreign-qualify into Oregon when owner privacy is the priority. Wyoming keeps members and managers off the public record and charges a $60 minimum annual report, against Oregon's $100 annual report and public member listing. An online or location-independent business gains privacy and lower recurring cost from the Wyoming route, while a locally rooted Oregon business avoids the added foreign-qualification filing by forming in Oregon directly.
The Anonymousllc.co Oregon LLC package covers the $100 state filing, registered agent for year one, an Oregon-specific operating agreement, the EIN, and four to five US bank applications, all for the $397 all-in price. Add-on services are priced separately: ITIN at $299, a BOI report at $150 where required, and a standalone EIN at $99. Bank applications go to Mercury, Relay, Bluevine, and other partners at once, which raises the overall approval rate to about 90% for non-resident founders. Every package is fulfilled end-to-end over WhatsApp.
An Oregon LLC is fully operational in 5-10 business days end-to-end. The Secretary of State accepts the Articles within 1-3 business days, the EIN follows in 1-7 days, and bank approval lands 8-10 days after the EIN. Anonymousllc.co runs the steps in parallel: the Articles file on day zero after a five-minute WhatsApp intake, the EIN application starts the moment the state stamp arrives, and bank applications go to four or five banks at once so approval does not wait on a single institution. US-resident founders receive the EIN in about one day; non-residents receive it in 5-7 days by fax.
5-minute WhatsApp intake. 5-10 day turnaround.
