Colorado annual report: the Periodic Report, decoded.
Colorado gives its annual filing a different name and the country’s most generous runway: the Periodic Report, twenty-five dollars, due inside a five-month window that wraps around your anniversary month. Miss all five months and the record starts sliding, Noncompliant with a $50 late fee, then Delinquent, where the cure has its own name and a $100 price. Everything files electronically, and everything shows.
This year's report, prepared and filed with the Secretary of State, with your standing verified after it posts.

Noncompliant is the warning, Delinquent is the verdict
The Periodic Report is $25 inside a five-month window around your anniversary month. Missing the window means Noncompliant plus a $50 late fee, sixty days of that means Delinquent, and the cure is a Statement Curing Delinquency plus $100. Colorado files everything electronically, so every rung of the ladder appears the day you earn it.
Where you stand decides what you do next
Open: file now, $25, done for the year. Just closed: file with the $50 before sixty days turn Noncompliant into Delinquent and add a curing statement to your vocabulary.
The cure is specific: a Statement Curing Delinquency with the $100 penalty, filed electronically, and the record restores at once. We prepare it with the missed report in one pass, then the window goes on a calendar that watches itself.
The widest runway in the country is also the easiest to procrastinate through, five months of "later" ending in a public status change. We file in the window’s first month, every year, on principle.
Five months of later, sixty days of consequences
Five months felt infinite, so the report was always next month’s task, five times in a row. The window closed, Noncompliant went public with its $50, and sixty days later I was learning what a Statement Curing Delinquency costs. A twenty-five dollar filing became one hundred seventy-five in fees and a status my bank asked about. Colorado gives you the longest runway in America. It still ends.

What is the Colorado Periodic Report?
Colorado’s name for the annual report: a $25 electronic filing with the Secretary of State that refreshes your addresses and registered agent on the public record. Every Colorado filing is electronic, so the record updates the day you do. We file it on time as part of annual report service.
When is the Colorado Periodic Report due?
Inside a five-month window: the two calendar months before your anniversary month, the anniversary month itself, and the two after. It is the widest filing window in the country, which is why it belongs on a watched calendar set to the window’s first month, not its last.
How much does the Colorado Periodic Report cost?
$25 inside the window, with a $50 late fee stacked on when it closes unfiled, and a $100 curing penalty if the slide reaches Delinquent. When we file it for you, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, as a one-time filing or on the automated annual plan, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, so nothing quoted here can go stale.
What happens if I miss the Colorado Periodic Report window?
The record turns Noncompliant with a $50 late fee, publicly and immediately, and sixty days later it reads Delinquent. The cure is the Statement Curing Delinquency, $100 plus the missed report. Colorado’s ladder has three rungs, and the electronic record shows each one the day you earn it.
Can I update my company information on the Periodic Report?
Yes, that is its purpose: addresses and the registered agent refresh there, and Colorado also accepts standalone electronic updates any time between reports. Bigger changes, like the company name, need an amendment. We keep the record matched to your real setup.
Do foreign-registered entities file a Colorado Periodic Report too?
Yes, inside the same five-month window at the same $25, on top of their home state’s filings, with the same ladder waiting past it. Our multi-entity dashboard tracks every state you operate in.
Can File.Business file my Colorado Periodic Report?
