Q: Does an LLC have to report a change in principle operating address within a certain amount of time from the change?
Also is it illegal to submit annual reports from an LLC showing false information as to the agents address?
A: The change in the agent's address shall be reported "promptly". The required reports are to be filed under penalty of perjury (See Florida Statute 605.0205 (3)), so intentionally filing false information could in theory be a crime. And of course, if a court summons is attempted to be served on the agent at the wrong address, the company could be subject to a default judgment.
Bruce Alexander Minnick agrees with this answer
A: The Florida Department of State (DOS) has the power of regulation over all LLCs and all other corporate entities. Anyone can file a complaint about any organization not following Florida law. DOS can sanction the owners.
