Ce Form 1 PDF Details

The CE Form 1, officially the Statement of Financial Interests, is an annual disclosure form required under Section 112.3145, Florida Statutes. It applies to local officers, specified state employees, state officers, and candidates for positions that require Form 1 filers. The form promotes transparency and helps prevent conflicts of interest in Florida public service.

Filers must report their primary sources of income, including the name, address, and principal business activity of each source. Secondary sources of income earned through business entities must also be disclosed. The form covers intangible assets such as stocks and bonds, real property interests, and liabilities or debts above the reporting threshold.

The annual filing deadline is July 1 of each year. New filers must submit CE Form 1 within 30 days of starting a qualifying position. Local officers file with their county Supervisor of Elections. State officers and specified state employees file with the Florida Commission on Ethics. Beginning with the 2023 form year (filed in 2024), Form 1 must be submitted electronically through the Electronic Financial Disclosure Management System (EFDMS).

Filers may choose between two reporting thresholds: a dollar value threshold or a comparative percentage value. This flexibility lets filers select the method that best fits their financial situation. The form also requires disclosure of interests in specified businesses where the filer holds a position or owns more than a five percent interest, helping identify potential conflicts of interest with public duties.

Candidates for elections to Form 1 offices must also file. Non-incumbent candidates who do not hold another position requiring financial disclosure must request an invitation to register for the EFDMS. Failure to file by the deadline may result in civil penalties of up to $25 per day.
