Registered Agent Requirement

Florida requires every registered business entity to maintain a registered agent with a physical street address in the state.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

A $400 late fee applies to annual reports filed after May 1. If no report is filed by the third Friday of September, the entity is administratively dissolved or revoked.
