Consumer Fraud Deceptive Trade Practices Statute Of Limitations in Florida

Florida’s consumer fraud deceptive trade practices statute of limitations is set by Fla. Stat. § 95.11 (2024), as amended by 2023 HB 837, effective March 24, 2023. This governing authority establishes a two-year window for bringing such claims. The clock typically begins running from the date the cause of action accrues, though the statute provides exceptions and factors that may affect the calculation. A worked example below demonstrates how the two-year period applies in a hypothetical scenario. Because the precise start date can vary based on the specific facts, the official source contains the exact detail. For an estimate of how this rule applies to a particular situation, the calculator can compute the relevant timeline.
