ANNUAL REPORTS ARE DUE BY MAY 1
Florida Annual Report Filing Requirements
Businesses registered in the State of Florida are required to file an annual report each year to maintain active status. The annual filing deadline is May 1. Submitting the annual report on or before this date helps ensure your business remains in good standing and avoids unnecessary penalties or processing delays.
Annual reports filed after May 1 are subject to a $400 late filing fee imposed by the State. Businesses that do not complete their filing by the third Friday of September may be administratively dissolved. Once dissolved, additional reinstatement filings and fees may be required before the business can resume normal operations. Submitting your filing early allows time to address any issues before state deadlines.
About your Annual Report:
- An annual report must be filed each year for your business entity to maintain an “active status” with the Department of State.
- It updates or confirms your records with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations, displaying your business’s most current data on file.
- It is required, whether or not you need to make changes.
- It is not a financial statement.
- If a business files late, a $400 late fee will be imposed on you by The State.
- If you do not file an annual report by the third Friday of September, your business entity will be administratively dissolved or revoked at the close of business on the fourth Friday of September. (Chapters 607, 617 and 620, F.S.) Businesses may incur additional reinstatement fees.
