Good to know
- Colorado's periodic report fee rose from $10 to $25 with the fee schedule revised July 1, 2024; the late penalty is $50.
- The penalty-free window runs from two months before through two months after the anniversary month, so the hard deadline is the last day of the second month after the anniversary month.
- Missed reports make the entity 'Delinquent' rather than dissolved; it can cure with a $100 Statement Curing Delinquency.
