Florida LLC annual report for non-US owners

Every Florida LLC files an annual report on Sunbiz between 1 January and 1 May, starting the year after it was formed. It costs $138.75 if you're on time. Miss 1 May and a $400 late fee is added that the state won't waive.

Dates and fees

  • Window: 1 January to 1 May every year, whatever month you formed the LLC. An LLC formed in 2026 files its first report in early 2027.
  • Fee: $138.75 for an LLC ($150 for a corporation).
  • From 2 May: a $400 late fee, so $538.75 in total.
  • September: if it's still not filed, the state administratively dissolves the LLC on the fourth Friday of September.

How to file

  1. Go to the Sunbiz annual report page and enter your document number (it's on your Articles of Organization and on Sunbiz's search results).
  2. Check the principal and mailing addresses, the registered agent, and the managers or authorized persons. A non-US address is fine for the principal and mailing address; the registered agent must have a Florida street address.
  3. Pay by card and save the confirmation.

Everything on the report is public on Sunbiz, including the names of managers or authorized persons. Many non-US owners list their registered agent's address as the mailing address for that reason.

If the LLC was dissolved

File for reinstatement on Sunbiz. You pay a reinstatement fee plus every report you missed, and the LLC is treated as if it had never been dissolved. Do it quickly: while it's dissolved, banks and payment providers may freeze the account.

What else a foreign-owned Florida LLC files

  • Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 to the IRS by 15 April (15 October with a Form 7004 extension) for every year with money in or out between you and the LLC. The fine for missing it is $25,000. Form 5472 guide. Missed it? Penalty relief.
  • A Florida registered agent, all year.
  • No BOI report: US-formed LLCs no longer file one. Why.
  • Florida income tax: a single-member LLC owned by an individual is usually ignored for Florida corporate income tax. If your LLC is taxed as a corporation, or owned by a company, ask an accountant whether a Florida return is due.
