How to Withdraw Your LLC from Florida
To withdraw your foreign LLC from Florida, file a withdrawal application with the Florida Division of Corporations and pay a $25 fee. Submit online at https://dos.fl.gov/sunbiz/ or by mail to P.O. Box 6327, Tallahassee, FL 32314. This process applies only to foreign LLCs authorized to transact business in Florida under Fla. Stat. § 605.0113-605.0114.
Filing Your Withdrawal
Submit your withdrawal application through one of these methods:
Online: https://dos.fl.gov/sunbiz/start-business/efile/fl-llc/ (fastest processing)
Mail: P.O. Box 6327, Tallahassee, FL 32314
Courier: 2661 Executive Center Circle, Tallahassee, FL 32301
Include the $25.00 withdrawal fee with your submission. Online filings typically process within 1-2 business days.
What to Include
Your withdrawal application must contain your LLC's legal name, jurisdiction of formation, and Florida registration number. Verify these details at https://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/ByName before filing.
Important: Domestic vs. Foreign LLCs
This withdrawal process applies only to foreign LLCs (formed outside Florida) registered to do business in the state. If your LLC is a domestic Florida LLC, you must follow dissolution procedures under Fla. Stat. § 605.0701 et seq., not the withdrawal process. Contact the Florida Division of Corporations at (850) 245-6052 to confirm your LLC's status.
Before You Withdraw
Ensure your LLC has no outstanding annual report fees or compliance issues. Check your business status online to confirm there are no administrative holds or liens. Withdrawal does not dissolve your LLC or relieve you of tax obligations or outstanding liabilities incurred before withdrawal.
After Withdrawal
Your LLC loses authorization to conduct business in Florida. You remain responsible for any debts, taxes, and contractual obligations accrued before withdrawal. If your LLC operates in other states, withdrawal from Florida does not affect those registrations.
