When is the Florida annual report due?

Between January 1 and May 1 each year, starting in the calendar year after the LLC was formed. An LLC formed in September 2026 files its first report between January 1 and May 1, 2027. Florida sends reminders to the email on file, but responsibility is yours.

An LLC that has not filed by the third Friday of September is administratively dissolved. It can be reinstated by filing the missing reports and a reinstatement application with the fees. See reinstating a dissolved LLC.
