How to File Your Florida LLC Annual Report on Sunbiz

Every Florida LLC is required to file an annual report with the Florida Division of Corporations through Sunbiz. The report is due by May 1 each year, costs $138.75, and can be completed entirely online in about 10 minutes. This guide walks you through the entire process step by step.

Before you start: what you'll need

Gather the following information before logging into Sunbiz. Having everything ready makes the process significantly faster and reduces the chance of errors.

Document number — your LLC's unique identifier assigned by the Florida Division of Corporations. You can find this on your Articles of Organization, any previous annual report confirmation, or by searching for your LLC on Sunbiz.
Registered agent information — the full legal name and Florida street address (not a P.O. Box) of your registered agent. If you are your own registered agent, use your name and physical address.
Principal office address — the primary business address of your LLC. This can be anywhere in the world.
Mailing address — where you want the state to send official correspondence. Can be the same as the principal address.
Member/manager details — the names and addresses of all members (if member-managed) or managers (if manager-managed).
Payment method — a credit or debit card. Sunbiz does not accept checks, ACH, or cash for online filings.

Step-by-step: filing your annual report on Sunbiz

Step 1: Go to the Sunbiz e-filing portal

Navigate to efile.sunbiz.org. This is the official state portal for all Florida corporate filings. Do not use third-party sites that charge additional fees on top of the state's $138.75.

Step 2: Select "Annual Report"

On the e-filing homepage, you will see several filing options. Select the "Annual Report" option. The system will prompt you to enter your entity's document number.

Step 3: Enter your document number

Enter your LLC's document number (e.g., L12000012345). If you do not know your document number, use the Sunbiz entity search to look up your LLC by name. The document number appears on the entity detail page.

Step 4: Review and update your LLC information

The system will display your LLC's current information on file. Review each field carefully:

Registered agent name and address
Principal office address
Mailing address
Member or manager names and addresses

Update any fields that have changed since your last filing. If nothing has changed, you still need to confirm the information and submit the report — the annual report is required even if no updates are needed.

Step 5: Pay the filing fee

The fee is $138.75 if you are filing on or before May 1. If you are filing after May 1, the system will automatically add the $400 late fee for a total of $538.75. Enter your credit or debit card information to complete payment. See our fee breakdown for details.

Step 6: Submit and save your confirmation

After payment, review the summary one final time and submit. You will receive a confirmation number and can download or print a receipt. Save this confirmation — it serves as your proof of filing and can be helpful for bank or vendor verifications.

Common mistakes to avoid

These are the most frequent errors that cause problems or delays:

Using a P.O. Box for your registered agent address — Florida requires a physical street address for registered agents. A P.O. Box will be rejected.
Forgetting to update member/manager changes — if you have added or removed members or managers since last year, make sure the annual report reflects the current roster.
Filing through a third-party site without realizing it — some websites charge $50–$200+ on top of the state fee. Always verify you are on efile.sunbiz.org before entering payment information.
Assuming the report is only required when changes occur — the annual report must be filed every year regardless of whether any information has changed.
Waiting until the last day — the Sunbiz portal can experience high traffic near the May 1 deadline. Filing a few weeks early avoids any technical issues.
Not saving the confirmation — without a confirmation receipt, it can be difficult to prove you filed on time in case of a dispute.

Filing timeline and key dates

January 1: Annual report filing window opens on Sunbiz.
May 1 (11:59 PM ET): Deadline for on-time filing ($138.75). After this, the $400 late fee applies. See the 2026 deadline details.
Third Friday in September: If still unfiled, administrative dissolution proceedings begin. See our missed deadline guide.

Can I file by mail or in person?

No. Florida LLC annual reports must be filed electronically through the Sunbiz e-filing portal. The state does not accept paper annual reports for LLCs. This applies to all Florida LLCs regardless of size or industry.

What if I need to change my registered agent?

You can update your registered agent as part of the annual report filing. Simply change the registered agent name and address fields during Step 4. If you need to change your registered agent outside of the annual report filing window, see our registered agent change guide.
