Florida LLCs must file an Annual Report between January 1 and May 1 each year. The first report is due between January 1 and May 1 of the year following formation. The filing fee is $138.75. File online at https://dos.fl.gov/sunbiz/start-business/efile/fl-llc/ or contact the Florida Division of Corporations at (850) 245-6052.

Annual Report Requirements

Your Annual Report 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

Reports must be filed by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 1 each year under Fla. Stat. § 605.0102.

Late Filing Penalties

$400 Late Fee: If your report remains unfiled after May 1, the Division assesses a $400 late penalty automatically.

Administrative Dissolution: If the report is still unfiled at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the third Friday in September, your LLC is automatically dissolved on the fourth Friday in September under Fla. Stat. § 605.0150. Administrative dissolution removes your LLC's legal status and authority to conduct business.

Reinstatement After Dissolution

If your LLC is administratively dissolved, you must file a reinstatement application with the current Annual Report and pay all delinquent fees, the $400 penalty, and a $100 reinstatement fee. This restores your LLC's legal standing.
