Florida LLC Annual Report: Deadline, Fee and How to File (2026)

Florida Annual Report at a Glance

How to File Your Florida LLC Annual Report

1. Go to the annual report page on Sunbiz.org
2. Enter your LLC’s document number
3. Check the principal address, registered agent and managers
4. Pay the $138.75 fee by card
5. Save the confirmation

What Happens If You Miss It

A $400 late fee applies from May 2. If the report is still missing, Florida administratively dissolves the LLC in late September, and you must pay reinstatement fees to bring it back.

What You Need Before Filing

• Your LLC’s exact legal name and state file number
• Your registered agent’s name and address
• Your principal office address
• The names and addresses of members or managers, if the form asks for them
• A card or bank account to pay the fee online

Florida LLC Annual Report: What Founders Abroad Should Know

The Florida LLC annual report is the yearly filing that keeps your LLC active on the state record. Every Florida LLC files an annual report on Sunbiz between January 1 and May 1, starting the year after it is formed. The state fee is $138.75. It is a state filing only: it does not replace your federal filings with the IRS.

Founders who live outside the US miss this deadline more often than anyone else, mostly because state reminders go to the registered agent, not to them. A few habits keep a Florida LLC safe:

• Add the Florida deadline to your calendar the day your LLC is approved
• Keep your registered agent active, since that is where Florida sends its notices
• File a week or two early: foreign cards are sometimes declined on state portals, so leave time to retry
• Save the confirmation PDF, because banks and payment processors can ask for proof of good standing

Many founders abroad mix up the Florida LLC annual report with Form 5472. The Florida LLC annual report goes to the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz), while Form 5472 (with a pro forma Form 1120) goes to the IRS, due April 15 for calendar-year LLCs, and the penalty for missing it starts at $25,000. A foreign-owned single-member LLC needs both.

LLCPronto clients do not have to track any of this alone. We remind you before every Florida deadline and can file the Florida LLC annual report for you, so your LLC stays in good standing while you run your business. Ask us on WhatsApp for current pricing.
