Annual report status, explained

Florida requires every active entity to file an annual report between January 1 and May 1, starting the year after it was formed. Filing after May 1 adds a $400 late fee, and entities that still have not filed by the third Friday of September are administratively dissolved.

annualReportStatus is one of:

• filed — this year's report is on file.
• due — not filed yet, and it is before May 1.
• late_fee_applies — not filed, after May 1, before the September dissolution date.
• past_dissolution_deadline — not filed and past the dissolution date.
• not_yet_required — the entity was formed this year.
• not_applicable_inactive — the entity is not active.

Use it to flag clients who are about to miss the deadline, verify that a counterparty is in good standing, or build a compliance calendar.

Pricing

You pay per entity record returned. Searches that return nothing cost nothing beyond platform usage. Set Max results per search term to keep runs predictable.

Tips

• Officer names go last name first: Smith John, not John Smith.
• Turn off Fetch full details for a fast, cheap list of name, document number and status only.
• Use Active entities only to skip dissolved and cross-referenced records.
• Sunbiz is protected by Cloudflare, so the Actor uses a real browser. Keep the default Apify proxy on.

Integrations and API

Run it from the Apify API, schedule it, or call it from an AI agent through Apify's MCP server. Results land in a dataset you can export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or push to Google Sheets, webhooks and Zapier.

Legal
