Every Florida LLC files an annual report with the Florida Division of Corporations by May 1 each year for a $138.75 fee. Missing the deadline adds a $400 late penalty, and an unfiled LLC is administratively dissolved in late September, which can retroactively void the liability shield. The report lists the registered agent, principal office, and manager or authorized representative, so Florida is not an anonymous-LLC state. Anonymousllc.co files Florida annual reports as part of registered agent service.
The Florida annual report is a yearly filing with the Florida Division of Corporations that confirms the LLC's registered agent, principal office address, and manager or authorized representative details. The fee is $138.75. The report keeps the entity in active status on the state record. It does not re-file the Articles or change ownership by itself; it refreshes the contact and management information the state holds. Every active Florida LLC files one each year, and the state uses it to confirm the company is still operating and reachable through its registered agent. The annual report is not an income tax return and is unrelated to federal filings. It is a state administrative filing that keeps the LLC in good standing. Good standing matters because banks, lenders, and partners check it before doing business, and a lapsed entity can lose its liability protection during the lapse.
The Florida annual report is due by May 1 each year, regardless of the LLC's formation date. Filing opens January 1, so the window runs the first four months of the year. Filing on time costs the flat $138.75 fee with no surcharge. Anonymousllc.co tracks the May 1 date for registered agent clients and files the report before the deadline, so the entity stays in active status without the owner watching the calendar. The deadline is the same for single-member and multi-member Florida LLCs. An LLC formed late in the year still files its first annual report by the following May 1. There is no proration for a company that formed in November or December; the next May 1 deadline applies. This catches new owners who assume the first report is due a full year after formation, so the deadline is worth marking at formation.
Missing the May 1 deadline adds a $400 late penalty on top of the $138.75 fee, for $538.75 total. An LLC that stays unfiled is administratively dissolved in late September. Administrative dissolution removes the LLC from good standing and can retroactively void the liability shield, exposing the owner's personal assets in disputes tied to that period. The $400 penalty is a flat charge that does not scale down, so filing by May 1 is the only way to avoid it. Anonymousllc.co files ahead of the deadline for registered agent clients to prevent both the penalty and dissolution. A dissolved LLC also loses the exclusive right to its name, which another business can then register. Reinstatement restores the entity, but it requires back reports, the accrued penalty, and a reinstatement application. Filing the annual report on time is far cheaper and simpler than dissolving and reinstating, which is why the May 1 deadline is the single most important date on a Florida LLC's calendar.
Florida annual reports are filed online with the Division of Corporations, and payment of the $138.75 fee is part of the same submission. Paper filing is not the standard route. Anonymousllc.co clients opt into automatic annual report filing as part of registered agent service. The team completes the form, confirms the registered agent and principal office, submits before May 1, and sends confirmation over WhatsApp. The owner pays the $138.75 state fee; the filing work is included in the $100/year registered agent subscription. The online filing produces an immediate confirmation number once the fee clears. Anonymousllc.co keeps that confirmation on file, so an owner who needs to prove good standing to a bank or partner has the record on hand. Filing early in the January-to-May window leaves room to correct any rejected submission before the deadline passes.
Yes. Florida requires either members or managers, or both, to be disclosed on the annual report, and that listing is refreshed each year on the public record. A Florida annual report does not hide ownership. The report shows the registered agent, principal office, and the managers or authorized representatives the state has on file. Anyone can look those names up in the free Division of Corporations database. Founders who need ongoing ownership privacy use the anonymous-parent structure described below rather than filing a direct Florida annual report under their own name.
No. Florida discloses members or managers on every annual report, so a direct Florida LLC cannot keep ownership private year over year. The listing is updated with each filing. Founders who need ongoing anonymity form a Wyoming anonymous LLC ($397 all-in) or a New Mexico anonymous LLC ($347 all-in) as the parent and foreign-qualify it into Florida. The Florida annual report then lists the anonymous parent and the registered agent, not the individual founder. New Mexico adds a further advantage: it requires no annual report and no annual fee at all.
Reinstating a dissolved Florida LLC requires filing all back annual reports, paying accrued penalties, and submitting a reinstatement application to the Division of Corporations. Once approved, the LLC returns to good standing. Anonymousllc.co handles Florida reinstatements at $250 plus state fees on a case-by-case basis. The team files the missing reports, pays the balance due, and submits the reinstatement, then confirms the restored status. Acting quickly after dissolution limits the exposure window during which the liability shield can be challenged.
Yes. Florida annual report filing is included in Anonymousllc.co registered agent service at $100/year. The team tracks the May 1 deadline, prepares the form, and confirms submission each year. The owner pays only the $138.75 state annual report fee on top of the registered agent subscription. This bundling is why registered agent clients avoid the $400 late penalty and administrative dissolution: the filing is handled before the deadline as part of the ongoing service, not left to the owner to remember.
The Florida annual report updates the registered agent, the registered office address, the principal business address, and the managers or authorized representatives on the state record. It confirms the LLC's contact and management details for the year. Changes to the registered agent or principal office are made through this filing. The report does not amend the Articles of Organization or transfer ownership; those changes use separate filings. Anonymousllc.co reviews the current details with the client before filing, so the state record stays accurate each year. Keeping the details current matters because the state and the public rely on them. A stale principal-office address can mean missed correspondence, and an outdated registered agent can break the chain that delivers a lawsuit notice. The annual review that comes with the filing catches these before they cause a compliance problem, which is part of the value of bundling the report into registered agent service.
New Mexico has the simplest requirement of all: no annual report and no annual fee. Wyoming charges a $60 minimum annual report due on the formation-anniversary month, well below Florida's $138.75. Delaware charges a $300 flat franchise tax due June 1 instead of a report, and Nevada requires an annual list plus a state business license near $350 a year. Florida's $138.75 report due May 1 sits between them on cost, but unlike the four anonymous states, it publishes owner or manager names each year.
