Question 1

What changed with Florida Series LLC law in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Florida enacted Series LLC legislation effective July 1, 2026, under Florida Statutes § 605.0901. This allows Florida syndicators to form domestic Series LLCs rather than using Delaware entities. The filing fee is $500, competitive with Delaware's $200.

Question 2

How do Florida Blue Sky fees compare to other states?

Accepted Answer

Florida's $500 Blue Sky filing fee is among the higher fees nationally. Compare to Texas ($300), Illinois ($100), or Arizona/Colorado (no fee required). However, Florida's no-income-tax advantage often offsets this compliance cost.

Question 3

What SEC regional office covers Florida syndications?

Accepted Answer

The SEC Miami Regional Office (801 Brickell Avenue, Suite 1950) oversees Florida securities enforcement. Their phone is (305) 982-6300. You'll file Form D with the SEC nationally, and the Miami office handles any examinations or inquiries.

Question 4

Are short-term rental syndications popular in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Florida's tourism industry makes STR syndications attractive in markets like Orlando, Miami Beach, and the Keys. However, STR syndications require careful attention to local regulations and may have different risk profiles than traditional multifamily.

Question 5
