Every
business entity organized in Florida must file an annual report with the
Florida Department of State by May 1st each year. This filing is
mandatory for all business entities that wish to maintain an active status,
even if no changes were made to the entity. The purpose of the annual report is
to update and/or confirm the records of Florida’s Division of Corporations. Additionally,
the responsibility to file falls solely upon the entity’s representative since
Florida’s Division of Corporations is not required to send a reminder regarding
the deadline.
If
you are a member of Morris Law Group’s Generational Planning Solutions (“GPS”)
program then please disregard this notice as the filing of the annual report
has already been addressed. If you are not a member of our GPS program and
would like to find out more information, please contact our office today! http://www.law-morris.com/gps
The
annual report can only be filed through Sunbiz, Florida’s Department of State, Division
of Corporations (Sunbiz.Org). The option to file the annual report is
prominently listed on the website’s homepage. In order to file the report, all
you need is the Document ID Number (which can be found on Sunbiz), a valid
email address and payment of the fee.
The
fees for the annual report vary based on entity classification, and are as
follows for 2018:
1) For
a Profit Corporation: $150.00
2) For
a Non-Profit Corporation: $61.25
3) For
an LLC: $138.75
4) For
an LP or LLLP: $500.00
Florida’s
Division of Corporations will impose a penalty of $400 for an annual report
that is filed after the May 1st deadline; however, the penalty does
not apply to non-profit corporations. Furthermore, this $400 late fee cannot be
waived or abated.
