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.
