How to Change Your Florida LLC Address
This one is free. We are not going to sell you a filing for it.
The short answer: Florida lets you change your LLC’s principal office address and mailing address free, on the annual report you already have to file. There is no separate form and no extra state fee. If you can wait for your next report, you are done — the rest of this page is the detail.
The free route: your annual report
Every Florida LLC files an annual report between January 1 and May 1, for a state fee of $138.75. That report is also the state’s address-update mechanism. When you file it, you simply enter the new principal office and mailing address, and the public record updates when the report is accepted.
- Find your company. Use the Sunbiz record search and note your document number.
- File the annual report on Sunbiz between January 1 and May 1, entering the new addresses in place of the old ones.
- Keep the confirmation. The state emails one; save it with your records.
Cost of the address change itself: $0. You are paying the $138.75 you already owed.
When it is not free
Two cases:
- You need the change on the record before your next report. Then you file Articles of Amendment, with a $25 Florida fee. That is the only reason to pay for an address change — timing. Our amendment service is $79 plus that $25 if you would rather not handle it.
- Your registered agent address is what is changing. That is a different line on the record and a different form — Florida’s Statement of Change of Registered Agent, $25. If you are moving and you were your own agent, this is probably the filing you actually need.
The trap: your registered agent address
If you listed yourself as registered agent at your old address, updating your principal office on the annual report is not enough. The agent address is separate, and Florida serves legal process there. Leave a stale agent address on the record and you can miss a lawsuit — the default judgment kind of miss — and eventually lose the company to administrative dissolution for an unreachable agent.
Moving house is the most frequent way this happens. If you are moving, deal with the agent line at the same time as the principal address.
Use a permanent agent address instead →
$99/year for a Florida street address that does not change when you do, legal mail scanned to you the day it arrives, and your annual report prepared and filed every year. It is the reason most people never have to think about this page again.
What the state filing does not update
Changing the address with the Division of Corporations changes one government record. These are separate, and all of them matter:
- The IRS — Form 8822-B updates the address attached to your EIN.
- Florida Department of Revenue, if you are registered for sales tax or reemployment tax.
- Your bank, which will often ask for the updated state record as proof.
- Licences and permits — local, county, and any professional licensing board.
- Insurance, contracts, and your website — unglamorous, but a stale address on a contract notice clause causes real problems.
- USPS mail forwarding, which buys you time but is not a substitute for any of the above.
Questions
Can I use a PO Box?
For your mailing address, yes. For your principal office and for your registered agent, no — Florida requires a physical street address for both.
I already filed this year’s annual report and then moved. Now what?
You can file an amended annual report, or Articles of Amendment at $25, or wait for next January. If the agent address is affected, do not wait.
Do I have to tell Florida within a certain number of days?
There is no fixed deadline for the principal address, which is why the annual report route works. Your registered agent information is different in practice: the whole point of it is that the state and the courts can reach you, so a wrong agent address is a live risk from the day you move.
