How much does it cost to reinstate a dissolved Florida LLC?

A reinstatement application costs $100 for LLCs, plus $138.75 for every annual report year that went unpaid. A 2-year-dissolved LLC costs $100 + $277.50 = $377.50. A 5-year-dissolved LLC costs $100 + $693.75 = $793.75. There is no cap — the longer you wait, the more expensive.

Can I just file the overdue annual report instead of reinstatement?

No. Once administratively dissolved, you must file a reinstatement application — you can't file a standalone annual report. The reinstatement bundles all overdue reports together.

How long does reinstatement take?

Florida processes reinstatement applications within 3–5 business days. Your LLC regains active status once approved, and you can resume business and file future annual reports.

Will reinstatement affect my property title or business licenses?

Once your LLC is active again, property titles and business licenses can be reissued or re-registered. There may be additional fees from the county or licensing agencies. Consult a title company before reinstatement if property is involved.

What Is Administrative Dissolution?

If your LLC misses the May 1 annual report deadline, it stays in "non-compliant" status until the third Friday of September. On that date, Florida automatically dissolves all non-filers in a single batch action.

Your entity status flips from 'Active' to 'Inactive — Administrative Dissolution'. You lose:

Legal right to conduct business in Florida
Right to sue in Florida courts
Exclusive right to your business name
Ability to maintain property titles in the LLC's name

This cannot be undone by filing the annual report retroactively. You must file a reinstatement application.

Prevent Future Dissolution

Once reinstated, never miss another annual report deadline. Set up automated monitoring so you receive email reminders at least 60 days before May 1, and again 30 days before.

File your annual report immediately — don't wait until April.
