Does Florida have a state-level BOI requirement?

No. Florida does not impose a state-level beneficial ownership information (BOI) requirement. Florida LLCs must file an annual report with the Division of Corporations containing principal office address, mailing address, organization date, federal EIN, and at least one member/manager/authorized representative name and address. Federal BOI reporting under FinCEN's Corporate Transparency Act may apply to your LLC regardless of state requirements.

Florida's Annual Report Requirement

Florida requires all LLCs to file an Annual Report with the Division of Corporations between January 1 and May 1 each year (Fla. Stat. § 605.0102). The first report is due between January 1 and May 1 of the year following formation.

The annual report costs $138.75 and must include:

Principal office address and mailing address
Date of organization
Federal employer identification number (if assigned)
Name, title, and address of at least one member, manager, or authorized representative

Filing is available online at https://dos.fl.gov/sunbiz/. Failure to file by May 1 triggers a $400 late fee. If unfiled by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the third Friday in September, the LLC is administratively dissolved on the fourth Friday in September (Fla. Stat. § 605.0701).

State vs. Federal BOI

Florida's annual report is not a beneficial ownership information filing. It requires only one representative's details, not complete beneficial ownership disclosure.

Federal FinCEN BOI reporting is separate and mandatory for most U.S. business entities, including Florida LLCs, under the Corporate Transparency Act (31 U.S.C. § 5336). This federal requirement applies regardless of state law and has different deadlines and penalties. Most reporting companies must file with FinCEN by January 1, 2025.
