Florida Annual Report

Florida requires every active LLC and corporation to file an annual report each year through the Division of Corporations (Sunbiz). This is not an optional filing — missing the deadline leads to late fees, and continued failure to file results in administrative dissolution.

Key Dates

• Annual report filing period: January 1 through May 1
• Due date: May 1 of each year
• Late filing: May 2 through the third Friday in September (with $400 late fee)
• After the third Friday in September: Administrative dissolution or revocation

Filing Fees

• LLC annual report: $138.75
• Corporation annual report: $150.00
• Late fee: $400 (added to the base fee if filed after May 1)

These fees are subject to change. Always verify current amounts on Sunbiz.org before filing.

What the Annual Report Covers

When filing your annual report, you must confirm or update:

• Registered agent: Name and Florida street address
• Principal address: Where your business is primarily managed
• Mailing address: Where you receive business mail
• Officer/director information (corporations): Names, titles, and addresses
• Manager/member information (LLCs, if applicable): Names and addresses

The annual report is not a financial filing. You do not report revenue, expenses, or profit. It is strictly a confirmation of your entity's key contact and management information.

How to File

Online through Sunbiz:

1. Visit Sunbiz.org
2. Click on the annual report filing link
3. Enter your entity document number (found on your original filing confirmation or by searching Sunbiz)
4. Review and update your information
5. Pay the fee and submit

Online filing is the fastest method and provides immediate confirmation. Most businesses complete the process in under 10 minutes.

By mail: Paper filing is available but significantly slower. The Division of Corporations recommends online filing.

What Happens If You Miss the Deadline

Filed after May 1 but before the third Friday in September: Your entity remains active but you must pay the $400 late fee in addition to the standard filing fee. Total cost increases substantially.

Not filed by the third Friday in September:

• LLCs: Administratively dissolved by the Division of Corporations
• Corporations: Certificate of authority revoked

A dissolved or revoked entity cannot legally conduct business, enter contracts, or bring lawsuits in Florida. Transactions completed by a dissolved entity may be voidable.

Reinstatement After Dissolution

If your entity is administratively dissolved for failure to file:

• You can apply for reinstatement through Sunbiz
• You must file all missed annual reports and pay all associated fees (including late fees)
• Additional reinstatement fees apply
• The entity's name may have been taken by another business during the dissolution period

Reinstatement is more expensive and time-consuming than simply filing on time. Prevention is straightforward — file before May 1 each year.
