Overview of Florida Annual Report
The due date for submitting your Florida Annual Report is between January 1st and May 1st every year. Florida’s Division of Corporations requires every business operating within the state to file a Florida Annual Report.
Consequences of Late Filing
Any annual report received after May 1 will result in a $400 late fee. Failure to file an annual report before the third Friday of September will result in the dissolution of your Florida LLC. Administratively dissolved or revoked entities may be reinstated, but it requires submitting a reinstatement application and paying all associated fees at the time of submission.
