Colorado periodic report deadline and delinquency rules

Colorado ties the periodic report to the entity's anniversary month and gives a filing window that opens two months before that month and closes two months after it.

What Colorado requires

Colorado reporting entities use the periodic report to confirm core record information. The filing is annual and is handled through the Secretary of State's business database.

This guide only covers the state record. Use Colorado home-rule city sales tax and local licenses next to check the county, city, and municipal layer that can still create risk.

When it is due

  • The periodic report month is tied to the month the entity first formed or registered in Colorado.
  • Colorado says the report can be filed from two months before the period month through two months after it without a penalty.
  • The entity remains responsible for the filing even if a reminder notice never arrives.

Cost and missed-filing risk

  • Colorado's current fee schedule lists a $25 periodic report filing fee.
  • If the filing window closes without a report, the entity becomes delinquent.
  • The fee schedule separately lists a late periodic report penalty, so verify the live charge on the filing screen if the record is already overdue.
