Colorado Annual Report Requirements

Colorado requires most business entities to file an annual Periodic Report with the Secretary of State. This filing keeps your business information current, maintains your good standing with the state, and satisfies your ongoing compliance obligations.

What Is Colorado's Periodic Report?

The Periodic Report is an annual filing that updates your business's basic information with the Colorado Secretary of State. It confirms details like your principal office address, registered agent, and the names of your managers, members, directors, or officers depending on your entity type.

Filing this report is part of maintaining your business in good standing. If you don't file on time, you may face late fees and potentially administrative dissolution of your business entity.

Filing Details You Need to Know

Filing Cadence: Annual

Filing Fee: $25

The Periodic Report fee increased from $10 to $25 effective July 1, 2024. Reports must be filed online through the Colorado Secretary of State's website—paper filing is no longer accepted.

Late Fees and Deadlines Colorado imposes a $50 late fee if your Periodic Report is filed during months 6-7 of your filing window. The specific window varies based on your entity type and anniversary month, but you'll typically have several months to complete the filing before late fees apply.

If you continue to miss filing deadlines, the Secretary of State may administratively dissolve your entity, which can lead to losing your business name, disrupting operations, and creating complications with contracts, licenses, and banking relationships.

Where to File File your Periodic Report through the Colorado Secretary of State's online business portal at sos.state.co.us. You'll need your entity ID number (available on your formation documents or by searching the state's business database) and information about your current registered agent, principal office, and management.

What Information Is Filed?

Your Periodic Report typically includes:

• Business entity name and entity ID
• Principal office address
• Registered agent name and registered office address
• Names and addresses of managers, members, directors, or officers
• Email address for state correspondence

You may also need to update other information specific to your entity type, such as the nature of your business or authorized share information for corporations.

Consequences of Missing Your Filing

Failing to file your Periodic Report on time can result in:

• A $50 late fee if filed during months 6-7 of your filing window
• Administrative dissolution if you continue to miss deadlines
• Loss of good standing with the state, which can affect your ability to conduct business, obtain financing, or enter contracts
• Potential loss of your business name if another entity registers it during your delinquency

Staying current with your Periodic Report protects your business from these complications and ensures you maintain all the benefits and protections of your business entity status.
