What makes Colorado different

• CO IS ONLINE-ONLY for most filings. Paper filings are rejected by default. Even when accepted as exceptions (e.g., Apostille, certain Corrections), they carry a $150 expedited paper fee. This is the most extreme online-first system in the US.…
• Periodic Report (Colorado's "Annual Report") is $25. RAISED from $10 in July 2024. Effective July 1, 2024 the Periodic Report fee jumped 150% to fund election obligations through 2026. Many incumbent customers still expect $10. Authority: Press release Jun 17,…
• Periodic Report due during a 3-month window: month before, month of, or month after anniversary month. Late penalty: $50 (on top of $25 = $75 total).
