Fraud Statute Of Limitations in Florida

Florida law imposes a strict two-year deadline for bringing a fraud claim, as established by Fla. Stat. § 95.11 (2024), as amended by 2023 HB 837, effective March 24, 2023. This statute of limitations governs the time within which a plaintiff must file a civil action alleging fraud. The two-year period generally begins to run from the date the cause of action accrues, with the statute providing specific rules for determining that accrual date. The official source contains the full text of the law, including any applicable exceptions or tolling provisions that may affect the calculation. The worked example below demonstrates how the two-year limit applies in a typical scenario. For a result tailored to individual circumstances, the DocketMath calculator can estimate the applicable deadline.

In Florida, the statute of limitations rule is set by Fla. Stat. § 95.11 (2024) (as amended by 2023 HB 837, eff. Mar. 24, 2023). The verified packet cites Fla. Stat. § 95.11 (2024) (as amended by 2023 HB 837, eff. Mar. 24, 2023) (https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2024/0095.11).

Deadline example

For a Florida fraud limitations check, use the verified limitations period from the current rule packet: 2 years. The authority packet cites Fla. Stat. § 95.11 (2024) (as amended by 2023 HB 837, eff. Mar. 24, 2023) (https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2024/0095.11).

Example inputs:

• Accrual date: 2024-04-25
• Filing date checked: 2026-04-25

Calculation:

• Start with the accrual date.
• Add 2 years.
• The example deadline is 2026-04-25.

This example is generated from the verified facts packet rather than freeform prose. Confirm tolling, discovery rules, and claim-specific exceptions before relying on the date.
