How reinstatement works in Florida

  1. Catch up on filings

    Florida requires the reinstatement application to be filed together with payment of the reinstatement fee and the annual report fees that are due. 3

  2. Tax clearance

    Florida's reinstatement statute lists what the application must state: the company name, addresses, organization date, federal employer identification number, a person with authority to manage, and additional information the department needs. That list names no tax clearance. 1

  3. File the application

    Florida offers an electronic reinstatement application on Sunbiz for an LLC whose status was administratively dissolved or revoked. 4

  4. Pay the state fee

    Florida's statutory fee for filing an application for reinstatement of an LLC after administrative dissolution is $100. 2

  5. Check the name

    Florida keeps the dissolved LLC's name unavailable to others for 1 year after dissolution. If another business has lawfully taken it, the LLC must change its name before reinstatement is accepted. 1

What reinstatement does

Florida reinstatement relates back to the date of the administrative dissolution, and the LLC may resume its activities as if the dissolution had not occurred. 1

More details for Florida
