Can LLC Members Vote You Out in Florida?<\/h2>\n

Members can remove an owner of a Florida LLC only when the operating agreement or the statute gives them that power. A simple majority is not always enough. LLC member removal Florida questions usually start with one document: the operating agreement.<\/p>\n

Many owners assume that more than half the owners can push out a partner. That assumption often fails. Removing someone is a different question. Without authority in the agreement, the other members can expel a member by unanimous consent, but only in listed circumstances, and a court can also expel a member by judicial order on application by the company or a member in a direct action (\u00a7 605.0602<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This guide covers expulsion, voluntary withdrawal, notice, dissolution and buyouts. It also explains what to check if a vote is contested.<\/p>\n\n

Why the Operating Agreement Controls the Outcome<\/h2>\n

The operating agreement usually decides removal questions. Florida’s LLC law is in Chapter 605 of the Florida Statutes, and it lets owners set many of their own rules. Except as otherwise provided in subsections (3) and (4), the agreement governs relations among members and between the members and the company (\u00a7 605.0105<\/a>). A person who becomes a member is bound by the agreement, even without signing it (\u00a7 605.0106<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Statutory default rules fill the gaps. A Florida LLC is member-managed unless the agreement or articles say otherwise (\u00a7 605.0407<\/a>). The Sunbiz LLC FAQ<\/a> explains that members are the owners of the company. Management structure changes who votes on what.<\/p>\n
