Deadline before the state dissolves you. Due the third Friday of September every year. Not a filing of its own - this is the date Florida administratively dissolves a company that has not filed its annual report. Failure to file by the 3rd Friday of September results in administrative dissolution or revocation at close of business on the 4th Friday of September
The deadlines above are the rules. Your actual dates depend on when you form, so the calendar is built from your formation date — free, no account.
