LLC Formation → Florida LLC → Florida LLC Annual Report Requirements
After you start your LLC in Florida by filing information about the LLC and paying the fees, you will be required to file an annual report to let the state know about any material changes in your information.
This requirement is part of a process called “compliance.” Being “in compliance” shows the ability of your LLC to follow all Florida laws and file the necessary paperwork on time. Failure to keep your LLC in compliance regarding filing your annual report may cause it to pay late fees and fines and ultimately face dissolution through an administration process under Florida’s legal statutes.
In this annual report guide, you will learn everything you need to know about filing your annual report, including the information required, when it is due, and how to file it.
To keep your Florida LLC in good standing, each year by 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on May 1, you must file an annual report and pay the yearly fee of $138.75 (according to the 2022 fee schedule). This annual report is required even if the LLC’s information remains the same as the previous year’s.
The annual report required by Florida state does not contain any financial information.
The purpose of this filing is to inform the State of Florida’s Division of Corporations of any changes in the status of the business principal(s), business location, or the registered agent for the LLC. This updated information becomes part of the public record.
Under Florida law, if your LLC was formed before January 1 of the current year, you can using a credit card, debit card, or by paying with some of the balance held in your Prepaid Sunbiz E-File Account.
You may choose to file your annual report by mail and send in a check for the fee. Make checks payable to the Florida Department of State.
If your LLC is a new one registered after January 1 in the current year, you are not required to file an annual report by May 1 of this year. The first annual report you must file is due by May 1 of the following year.
Nevertheless, if some of your information has changed, such as your registered agent, you should file an amended report with the new information. An amended report has a filing fee of $50 for a Florida LLC.
An amended report may be filed any time the information about your LLC changes. For example, the information about your current registered agent must always be up-to-date and accurate.
