Every cost of a Florida LLC, in the order you pay it

Each line links to the official page, so you can check the number yourself.

  1. 1

    Filing fee to form the LLC

    Day one

    Florida charges $125 to file the formation document, whoever files it. Filing it yourself on Florida's official site costs only that. We file it for $123.75 with the operating agreement included; the 7 steps are the same either way.

  2. 2

    Registered agent

    Optional cost

    $0 if you serve as your own agent and accept that your address goes on the public record. Ours is $74.25 a year, the same at renewal. Florida registered agent rules.

  3. 3

    EIN from the IRS

    Free

    The IRS issues the federal tax ID free at irs.gov. We can get it for you for $41.25 if you have an SSN.

  4. 4

    Licenses and sales tax

    Varies by business

    License fees depend on the business and the city or county, so no single number applies. Start at MyFloridaLicense. Florida sales tax permit rules and our guides by industry list what applies.

  5. 5

    The yearly state filing

    Every year

    The Florida LLC annual report is due May 1 every year, with a state fee of $138.75. Florida annual report details and free reminders.

  6. 6

    State taxes on the LLC

    Check this

    Florida does not impose a personal income tax. Federal income tax passes through to the owners unless the LLC elects otherwise.

  7. 7

    Certificate of good standing

    When a bank asks

    Banks and lenders often ask for proof the LLC is active. Florida calls it a Certificate of Status and charges $5. How to order it in Florida.

  8. 8

    Closing the LLC later

    At the end

    Dissolving the LLC: Florida's fee is $25. How to dissolve an LLC in Florida.
