The Deadline
Every Florida corporation must file an annual report with Sunbiz by May 1. This applies per entity. If you own more than one Florida corporation or LLC, each one has its own May 1 deadline.
What Happens If You Miss It
Missing the May 1 deadline triggers a $400 late fee. This fee is described as non-waivable, meaning there is no stated way to have it excused.
- The $400 fee applies per entity, not per owner.
- If you have several entities and miss the deadline for each one, the fee applies separately to each.
Who This Applies To
This deadline applies to Florida LLCs and Florida corporations. Both entity types must file an annual report with Sunbiz.
What Is Not Known Here
This material does not state:
- Whether there are additional deadlines beyond May 1 for other filings.
- Whether the $400 fee changes over time or under specific conditions.
- What happens if the report is never filed at all, beyond the late fee.
This is not legal or tax advice. Confirm current deadlines, fees, and requirements directly with Sunbiz or a qualified professional before acting.
