Oregon Skips the Form Numbers. It Does Not Skip the Prices.

Two things to know before the argument starts. OR Registered Agent.org charges $99 a year to be your Oregon registered agent, which makes us an interested party. And there is one Inc Authority figure we simply cannot give you, because the company does not publish it.

The Free Year Is Genuinely Free

Buy a formation package from Inc Authority and registered agent service rides along for twelve months at no charge. That is a straightforward offer landing at the point in a company's life when every dollar is spoken for. We are not going to attach a warning label to a thing that costs nothing.

The Second Year Is the Blank Space

We looked. The FAQ does not say. The premium packages page does not say. The homepage does not say. Three passes across their public site in July 2026, three blanks, so we are not going to invent a figure or characterize one we have not seen. We are going to point at the gap and let you decide what it means.

Why the gap matters here specifically: Oregon requires a registered agent for every year your company stays on the register, not merely the first. The free twelve months are therefore the opening chapter of a recurring purchase whose price arrives after you have already moved in. The objection is about sequence rather than size. A perfectly reasonable renewal rate that only surfaces at checkout or on a phone call is still a rate you had no chance to compare.

Now Look at How This State Behaves About Numbers

There is a small irony worth drawing out.

Oregon does not number its business forms. The Corporation Division identifies them by name and a revision date in the corner, so the document that moves your registered agent is called the Information Change (Corporation/Limited Liability Company) and nothing else. No code, no digits, nothing to quote at a clerk. It is the one thing in this system that has no number attached.

Everything with a price on it, though, is printed. The Business Registry fee schedule lists what forming an Oregon LLC costs, $100. It lists what the annual renewal costs, $100 for a domestic company. It lists what changing your registered agent costs, and the entry is $0.00, which the state bothered to publish even though the answer is nothing. The paper change form repeats the point with a "No Processing Fee" stamp. Oregon put a figure next to a transaction it does not charge for.

Set that beside a company that will not print the figure for a transaction it does charge for, and you have the comparison this page is actually about. Missing numbers are a choice. Oregon made the opposite one.

Both of Our Numbers, Since That Is the Standard

Year one: $99. Year two: $99. The pricing disclosure is finished; that was all of it.

What sits under it:

• An Oregon street address on your public filings, replacing your own
• Anything served on us reaching your portal as a scan before that business day ends, with an alert by email
• A renewal reminder built around your formation anniversary date, which is when Oregon's $100 report is due
• A document archive open to you at any hour
• General business mail scanned at $15 apiece, a charge we state up front instead of leaving it for an invoice

Since this page is about published numbers, here is one that reflects badly on us. BetterLegal's published figure is $90 a year, below our $99. We are among the low rates in Oregon, not beneath every one of them.

Inc Authority's Appointment Ends With a Free Oregon Filing

One paragraph, because Oregon made it short. The change runs on the Information Change filing with the Corporation Division, paper or fax or the online Business Registry, and the state's charge is zero. We are appointed on the same filing that removes the previous agent, so the seat is never empty for a moment, and the new agent's consent is recorded right there on the form. Full walkthrough on our Oregon change of agent page.

Ask Before the Twelve Months Close

If your free year is running down, put the question to Inc Authority in writing and get the renewal figure on the record. Whatever comes back, you will be reading it next to a number that has been sitting on this page since the top, in a state that publishes even the fees it never collects.
