Four Charges a Year Is Still a Yearly Price

Bias first, arithmetic second. FL Registered Agent.org is a Florida registered agent service charging $99 a year, and this page exists to win your business. The Swyft Filings figure is their published rate, checked in July 2026, and the conversion below is one multiplication you can redo on your phone.

Smaller Bills, More Often, on Purpose

Quarterly billing is not automatically a red flag, and plenty of owners prefer it. A young company watching its balance week to week may genuinely rather absorb four moderate charges than one larger one. Spreading payments smooths cash flow. That is a genuine advantage, not a courtesy we are extending in order to seem even-handed.

The catch is not the frequency. It is that almost everybody else in this category quotes by the year, so the two numbers sitting side by side in your browser tabs are not measuring the same span of time.

$149 Is a Quarter, Not a Year

Swyft Filings charges $149 for registered agent service every three months. Four of those comes to roughly $596 for twelve months of coverage, and $596 is the figure to carry into any comparison you make. We found no distinct first-year discount either, so the annualized number applies from the opening quarter onward.

There is a second-order effect worth naming. A charge that recurs four times a year is easier to stop noticing than one arriving annually with a renewal notice attached to it. Small and frequent is exactly the shape of a subscription people forget they are holding.

Run the conversion the other way if that helps more. Our $99 a year works out to $24.75 per quarter. Set that beside $149 per quarter and the shape of the difference is obvious whichever unit of time you prefer to think in.

Roughly $2,485 separates those five-year totals. Whatever it buys, it does not buy a more valid appointment, because Florida records the agent's name and address and takes no interest in the billing schedule behind them.

Ours Arrives Once and Reads the Same Every Time

One invoice a year, $99, and next year's also reads $99. The Florida registered office address is ours, which keeps your address off the Sunbiz record. Legal process gets scanned and sent to you the day it arrives. Deadline reminders come early. If you want general business mail scanned too, that is $15 an item, and it is the only optional line we have.

$99 is not the floor. BetterLegal publishes $90. What $99 is: one of the lowest annual prices in Florida that never turns into a different number later.

Florida's Calendar Has Two Dates, Not Four

Worth knowing while you are thinking about billing cycles, because the state's schedule is the one with teeth in it.

Florida gives an LLC an annual report window that opens on January 1 and closes on May 1. Miss the close and a late charge attaches that the Division of Corporations does not waive. Stay delinquent from there and the entity is administratively dissolved on the third Friday in September under Fla. Stat. § 605.0714.

Two dates. Whoever holds your agent appointment is the party positioned to warn you about both of them, and how often they bill you has no bearing whatsoever on whether they do.

The Florida Filing That Ends It, in One Sentence

A $25 statement to the Division of Corporations moves the appointment, and our change of agent page has the form, the fields and the confirmation step.

Time it against the quarter you have already paid for. Get the new agent appointed and recorded while that quarter is still running, and your coverage never breaks for even a day.
