Florida LLC Annual Report Overview

Every Florida LLC — both domestic (formed in Florida) and foreign (formed elsewhere but registered in Florida) — must file an annual report with the Florida Division of Corporations each year to remain in good standing.

The annual report is a state compliance filing, not a financial disclosure. It simply confirms or updates your LLC's basic information and pays a state filing fee.

Due Date: May 1 Each Year

  • 2026 deadline: May 1, 2026
  • The deadline does not vary based on when you formed your LLC
  • All Florida LLCs share the same May 1 deadline regardless of formation date
  • If May 1 falls on a weekend, the deadline typically extends to the next business day
$400 Late Fee After May 1

Filing even one day after May 1 triggers a $400 late filing penalty on top of the standard $138.75 fee (total: $538.75). This is one of the highest late filing penalties of any state. Don't miss this deadline.

Filing Fee: $138.75

The standard annual report filing fee for a Florida LLC is $138.75. This fee is set by the Florida Legislature and is the same for all LLCs regardless of size or revenue.

Late Fee: The $400 Penalty

If you file after May 1:

  • A $400 late fee is automatically added (total = $538.75)
  • After the third Friday in September, the Florida Division of Corporations will administratively dissolve your LLC
  • Reinstating a dissolved Florida LLC requires filing a reinstatement application and paying all past-due annual reports plus a reinstatement fee

Florida Income Tax for LLC Owners

Florida has no personal income tax — one of its biggest advantages for LLC owners. This means:

  • LLC profit that passes through to Florida resident owners is not subject to Florida state income tax
  • No state self-employment tax equivalent
  • Florida residents still pay federal income tax and self-employment tax to the IRS
  • LLCs that have elected C-Corp status may owe Florida corporate income tax at 5.5%
