Filing your Florida LLC annual report late triggers a $400 administrative penalty assessed by the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations. If you miss the May 1 deadline and fail to file within 60 days, the Department initiates automatic dissolution proceedings against your LLC. This means your business loses its good standing status, making you personally liable for company debts and preventing you from conducting legal business in Florida. You'll also lose liability protection, making your personal assets vulnerable. Additionally, a dissolved LLC cannot renew its license, sign contracts, or operate legally. Reinstatement requires filing a Revocation of Dissolution form and paying reinstatement fees exceeding $100. To avoid these consequences, file your annual report through the Florida Department of State's online portal before May 1, 2026. Set calendar reminders at least 30 days before the deadline.
You can file your Florida LLC annual report through the Florida SunBiz portal at dos.myflorida.com or by mailing Form LLCSR to the Division of Corporations in Tallahassee. Online filing through SunBiz is the fastest method, taking only minutes, and provides instant confirmation that the Department of State received your submission. The annual report must be filed between January 1 and May 31 each year, with a $138 filing fee due with your submission. If you mail your report, send Form LLCSR with payment to the Division of Corporations, Florida Department of State, 409 E. Gaines Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0250. Filing online eliminates postal delays and reduces the risk of missing the May 31 deadline, which could result in administrative dissolution of your LLC. Visit the SunBiz portal today to file your annual report electronically.
The filing fee for a Florida LLC annual report is $138, payable to the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations. This fee applies uniformly to all LLCs regardless of size or revenue. You must submit the full $138 payment when filing Form LLC-2, the required annual report form, by May 5th each year (or the next business day if that date falls on a weekend or holiday). Failing to pay and file by the deadline triggers a $400 late filing penalty on top of your $138 fee, making the total $538—a significant additional expense. This annual cost is a mandatory operating expense for maintaining your LLC's active status in Florida; without timely payment, the state will administratively dissolve your LLC within 60 days, exposing you to personal liability and loss of liability protection. To avoid penalties, file your Form LLC-2 with payment through the Florida Department of State's online portal at sunbiz.org at least two weeks before the May 5th deadline.
All Florida LLCs must file their annual report by May 1 each year with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations, regardless of your formation date. This uniform deadline applies to every active LLC in the state. Missing the May 1 deadline triggers a $138.75 late fee assessed by the state, in addition to the standard $138.75 annual report fee. If you fail to file within 60 days after the deadline, the Department of State will administratively dissolve your LLC, which revokes your legal business status and liability protection. For Florida LLCs, this means you cannot legally conduct business, enter contracts, or defend yourself in lawsuits under your LLC's name. You must file Form LLC2 (Annual Report of Domestic LLC) online through the Florida Division of Corporations website or by mail. **Next step:** Mark May 1 on your calendar now and file your 2026 annual report by April 25 to avoid penalties and ensure your LLC remains in active, compliant status.
No, there are no exemptions from Florida's annual report requirement. Every LLC registered in Florida—whether single-member, multi-member, or foreign LLCs authorized to do business in the state—must file by May 1 annually with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations.
The annual report filing fee is $138.75 (as of 2026). You must submit Form LLC-1, the annual report form, regardless of your LLC's size, revenue, or activity level during the fiscal year. Even inactive or dormant LLCs cannot skip this filing.
Missing the May 1 deadline carries serious consequences: your LLC's active status will be automatically revoked, and you'll lose your right to conduct business in Florida. Reinstating your LLC requires additional filing fees and administrative steps. This impacts your liability protection, ability to enforce contracts, and access to business licenses.
File your annual report through the Florida Department of State's online portal at sunbiz.org, or mail the completed Form LLC-1 with payment to ensure timely compliance before the May 1 deadline.
