- Florida Statutes § 605.0213 sets the LLC filing fees, including the Articles, agent designation, annual report and reinstatement fees.
- § 607.193 adds the $88.75 supplemental fee and the $400 late charge.

- The Articles form itself: Form CR2E047 (PDF), filed under § 605.0201.
How to file Florida Articles of Organization
- Check the name. Search it free on Sunbiz. It must include "Limited Liability Company", "L.L.C." or "LLC" and be distinguishable from names already on file.
- Name a registered agent. A Florida resident or a business authorized in Florida, at a Florida street address (no P.O. box). The agent signs the Articles to accept, and the LLC cannot serve as its own agent.
- File and pay $125. Online, start at Sunbiz e-filing, choose Limited Liability Company and pay by credit or debit card. By mail, send the form with a check payable to the Florida Department of State to New Filing Section, Division of Corporations, P.O. Box 6327, Tallahassee, FL 32314.
- Plan the first annual report. It is due between January 1 and May 1 of the year after the LLC takes effect. Forming in December? A January 1 effective date on the Articles moves that first report out a year.
