Will my Florida LLC be dissolved if I missed the deadline?

Not usually the day after May 1. If the annual report stays unfiled into the late-summer window (often the third Friday in September per Sunbiz), Florida can begin administrative dissolution.

Can the $400 late fee be waived?

No. Sunbiz instructions state the $400 late fee cannot be waived, reduced, or abated after the May 1 cutoff.

Missed Florida LLC Deadline? $400 Late Fee & Next Steps (2026)

Florida filing fees and deadlines verified for 2026 — last reviewed May 2026

Short answer: Missed May 1 for your Florida LLC annual report? File on Sunbiz now—you will owe the $400 late fee ($538.75 total typically). Waiting weeks does not usually increase that fee, but an unfiled report can lead to administrative dissolution later in the year.

May 1, 2026 passed—file as soon as you can

A late 2026 annual report on Sunbiz usually means a mandatory $400 late fee on top of the $138.75 filing fee—$538.75 at checkout in the common case. You can still file online; letting the report linger raises administrative dissolution risk later in the year.
