Who files
Every LLC, corporation and limited partnership on the Division of Corporations’ record, including out-of-state companies registered to do business in Florida. A company formed this year files its first report next year.
The calendar
- January 1. The window opens. File any time from here.
- May 1. The last day to file at the standard fee.
- The day after. A $400 late fee from May 2. If it is still unfiled, Florida administratively dissolves the company on the fourth Friday of September.
A Florida report filed one day late costs more than the report itself. File in the spring, well before May 1.
How to file
Florida takes the report online only. You confirm the principal and mailing addresses, the registered agent and the managers or officers, sign it and pay by card. The confirmation comes by email; keep it with the company’s records.
Is your Florida company current?
Search it by name, document number or EIN. We show the last report on file and the next one due.
Questions
Can Florida waive the late fee?
No. The late fee for LLCs and corporations is set by statute, and the Division of Corporations cannot waive it.
Can I change my registered agent on the annual report?
Yes. The report can update the agent, the addresses and the officers or managers at no extra charge.
