Florida Registered Agent.io$99$99$99$297Yes
FL Registered Agent.org$99$99$99$297Yes

We took each price from the company's own pages on November 12, 2026. Florida's own fees stay the same no matter which agent you choose.

Why we ordered them this way

Two things count most to us, three-year cost and filings in the price, at 29% each. Renewal price, state fit and up-front totals share 42%, and Florida came down to three-year cost.

Florida Registered Agent.io comes to $297 over three years, which is $150 less than Mainstay Filing. If you only need an agent in Florida, fifty-state reach doesn't help much, so the lower yearly price won.

The Florida annual report: when and how much

Your questions about Florida registered agents

Do I really need a registered agent for a Florida LLC?

You do. Florida won't accept an LLC without a registered agent who has a street address in the state, and that name goes on the public record.

What do Florida registered agents usually cost per year?

Plan on $99 to $149 a year, and each service keeps its price when you renew.

Can I be my own registered agent?

Sometimes, if you meet the state's rules. A Florida resident, or a business entity authorized in Florida, whose business address is the registered office. The agent files a written acceptance.

When do I have to send in the Florida annual report?

Mark May 1 on your calendar. The state's charge is $138.75, and sending it late tacks on $400.
