Colorado LLC Periodic Report — Step 6 of 8
Colorado LLCs file a $25 Periodic Report annually. Its five-month window runs from two months before the report month through the last day of the second month after it. Taxes, licenses and other duties are separate.
Every Colorado LLC files a Periodic Report every year for a flat $25. It's due during a 5-month window — 2 months before your LLC's anniversary month, the anniversary month itself, and 2 months after. Your first report isn't due until the year after formation. Miss it, and you'll owe a $50 late fee before your LLC eventually goes "Delinquent."

What the Periodic Report Is
The Periodic Report is Colorado's equivalent of the "annual report" most other states require — a simple confirmation of your LLC's core details, filed once a year with a flat fee.
- Fee: a flat $25 (increased from $10, effective July 1, 2024), regardless of your LLC's size or revenue.
- Due window: a 5-month window centered on your LLC's anniversary month — 2 months before, the anniversary month itself, and 2 months after.
- First report timing: not due until the year after your LLC was formed — so an LLC formed anytime in 2026 files its first report sometime in the applicable window in 2027.
- Filed with: the Colorado Secretary of State's online eCorp portal — no paper option, same as your original filing.

How to File
- Log in to the Colorado Secretary of State's eCorp portal and search for your LLC by name or ID number.
- Confirm or update your details — principal office address, registered agent, and management structure.
- Pay the $25 fee by credit card and submit — approval is typically instant.
- Don't file too early — filing before your window opens isn't accepted; wait until the 5-month window actually begins.
Check the entity’s actual status and deadlines. For a January report month, the on-time deadline is March 31; an unfiled report becomes Noncompliant, with a late report due May 31, then Delinquent if still unfiled. A Delinquent entity uses a Statement Curing Delinquency; confirm its current charge and requirements.
- ✓Optional formation assistance; confirm filing scope, service pricing and submission responsibilities.
- ✓Confirm reminder and follow-up filing services; the LLC remains responsible for its deadlines.
- ✓Confirm registered-agent eligibility, coverage, included periods and renewal charges.
- ✓Review address-use rules and privacy policies; a service does not remove all information from public filings.
