# Sunbiz.org

## Profile

Sunbiz.org is the official State of Florida website operated by the Department of State Division of Corporations. It provides public access to Florida business entity filings, registered agents, officer information, and annual reports.

## Role in This Vault

Bowen highlights Sunbiz as the canonical **free public-records tool** for executing Step 4 of [[framework-sue-spammers]] — identifying the legal registered agent and corporate identity of a spammer so they can be served with TCPA litigation.

Equivalent registries exist in every US state (e.g., New York's Department of State, California's Secretary of State business search). Bowen uses Sunbiz as the worked example because of Florida's particularly accessible interface and its concentration of registered businesses.

## Companion Resources

Bowen also references county GIS portals (for property records / collectible assets) and court records (PACER, state court search) as part of the broader public-records stack.
