What is the Florida annual report?

The annual report is a filing required by the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz)to confirm your LLC's current information — registered agent, principal address, and members or managers. It's not a financial report or tax return. Think of it as a simple check-in that says "yes, this business still exists and here's our current info."

Step 1: Know your deadline

In Florida, your annual report is due By May 1 each year. Missing this deadline can result in late fees and, eventually, administrative dissolution of your LLC. The Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) will not send you a reminder in most cases.

Step 2: Gather your LLC information

Before you start, have the following ready:

  • Your LLC's legal name and any DBAs
  • Principal office address
  • Registered agent name and address in Florida
  • Names and addresses of all members or managers
  • Your filing entity number (from your original Articles of Organization)

Step 3: File online at the Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) portal

Visit the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) filing portal at dos.fl.gov. Search for your LLC, select the annual report option, confirm or update your information, and pay the $138 filing fee.

Step 4: Save your confirmation

After filing, download or print the confirmation. Set a calendar reminder for next year's deadline so you don't forget.

What happens if you miss the deadline?

If you fail to file your annual report in Florida, your LLC can face:

  • Late fees — most states add a penalty for late filings
  • Loss of good standing — you may not be able to get loans, contracts, or licenses
  • Administrative dissolution — the Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) can involuntarily dissolve your LLC, meaning you lose liability protection

Reinstatement after dissolution is possible in most cases but costs more than just filing on time.

Florida tax notes

No personal income tax. Corporate income tax is 5.5% (applies to LLCs taxed as corps).
