Incorporation with the Secretary of State:
All incorporated neighborhood associations are required to renew annually with the Secretary of State, Corporate Division. Incorporation with the Secretary of State ensures that your association is a legal entity in Oregon, which provides an extra level of protection for members in addition to the protection provided from SE Uplift’s Directors and Officers Insurance.
How:
Approximately 45 days prior to your neighborhood association’s filing deadline, a hard copy of the annual report form will be sent to the mailing address listed for your organization on the Secretary of State Website.
Your annual report can either be submitted by mail or electronically. Electronic reports process within a day. Mailed copies may take 4-6 weeks to process.
Simply review and update the President (“Chair”) and Secretary information and pay the $50 fee. We recommend each neighborhood association list SE Uplift as the Registered Agent and utilize our mailing address, rather than list an individual that potentially no longer is serving on your board.
Check Due Date & Previous Reports:
Neighborhood associations can find when their report is due, view their previous reports, and submit their report electronically on the Secretary of State website (here). Simply search your neighborhood name and select the corresponding link.
Reimbursement:
Neighborhood associations can be reimbursed for up to $50 of their annual filing fee. Any late fees are the responsibility of the neighborhood association to cover.
To receive reimbursement, please return three items:
- A completed reimbursement request form (download PDF version here);
- A copy of your Annual Report; AND
- Receipt of fee payment. The email titled “Payment Receipt – Oregon Business Filing” may be used as receipt and verification of payment.
