What is different about forming an LLC in Florida?
Includes the $25 registered agent designation Florida requires with every filing.
What does Florida require after you form an LLC?
Florida requires an annual report ($138.75 to the state) and a registered agent at all times, plus sales tax registration if you sell taxable goods.
Annual report
$138.75 to the state. Florida LLC annual reports are due between January 1 and May 1. The fee is $138.75 through May 1 and $538.75 after May 1 (the $400 late fee cannot be waived). Mailed checks must be postmarked and mailed on or before May 1. An LLC that has not filed by the third Friday of September is administratively dissolved at the close of business on the fourth Friday of September. More on Florida annual reports.
Sales tax registration
Free from the state, and only if you sell taxable goods. More on Florida reseller permits.
Registered agent
Every Florida LLC has to name one. It can be you at no cost if you have a street address in the state. Ours is $99 a year and optional, with no first year that quietly becomes a renewal.
Trade name, if you use one
$50 to the state, plus our $50. Fictitious name registration lasts 5 years. Florida also requires a one-time newspaper advertisement.

Yes, if you have a street address in Florida where somebody can accept legal papers during business hours. A PO box will not do. Using your own address costs nothing. Our registered agent service is $99 a year and exists for people forming out of state or keeping a home address off the public record.
Only if you sell taxable goods. Florida's sales tax registration is free from the state. It is a separate filing from forming the LLC, and we handle it for $50.
We prepare and submit your filing within one business day of your order. After that it is the Florida Division of Corporations's queue, which moves at a different speed in different weeks; we tell you what the state is quoting when you order rather than promising a date we do not control.
