According to the records of the Florida Commission on Ethics, you are required to complete a Form 1, Statement of Financial Interests, in order to satisfy your obligation to file financial disclosure. State officers, local officers, and specified state employees serving as of December 31, 2025 (and persons elected in 2025 whose terms began this year) are required to file by July 1. Even if you left the position during 2026, you are required to file disclosure for the year 2025 using the e-filing system.
If you believe you were sent this notice in error, you must contact the financial disclosure coordinator for your agency, who provided your name and position as meeting the criteria for filing disclosure. In order to remove your name from the official list, the agency coordinator must submit documentation to our office. To find your agency's coordinator go to our website, www.ethics.state.fl.us, click on the "Financial Disclosure" tab, then "Coordinator Information" to search for your agency's coordinator.
WHEN TO FILE:
On or before July 1, 2026
» HOW TO FILE ELECTRONICALLY:
The law requires the Form 1 to be filed electronically with the Florida Commission on Ethics via the Electronic Financial Disclosure Management System (EFDMS). If you have not previously registered in EFDMS, visit https://disclosure.floridaethics.gov. Click the "I am a Filer" button, and then the "Request Registration Email" button. Enter your email address where this official notice was received. Once you register and create a username and password, you can log into EFDMS to electronically complete and file your Form 1.
Before you file electronically, visit https://ethics.state.fl.us/Documents/Ethics/Tips.pdf?cp=202442 for important information and tips about filing electronically this year.
FAILURE TO FILE the annual disclosure form by September 1, 2026, triggers automatic fines of $25.00 for each late day. In addition, pursuant to law, the Commission on Ethics must initiate investigations of delinquent filers in certain circumstances. This can result in your being removed from your public office or employment. See Section 112.3145(9)(c), Florida Statutes. You may also be subject to a complaint being filed, resulting in penalties as outlined in Section 112.317, Florida Statutes.
QUALIFYING FOR OFFICE? Your electronically filed 2025 Form 1 can be used for qualifying purposes by printing the Verification and Receipt of Filing from your EFDMS Filer Dashboard.
QUESTIONS? Call the Florida Commission on Ethics, 850-488-7864 or 1-800-262-8824.
Persons with disabilities or handicaps who need assistance or reasonable accommodation to complete this form should contact the Commission on Ethics at (850) 488-7864.
