Trespass Statute Of Limitations in Florida

Under Florida law, the statute of limitations for trespass claims is governed by Fla. Stat. § 95.11 (2024), as amended by 2023 HB 837, effective March 24, 2023. This authority establishes a two-year limitations period for bringing a civil action alleging trespass. The statute provides the exclusive time frame within which a plaintiff must file suit, beginning from the date the trespass is discovered or should have been discovered with reasonable diligence. The official text, available through the Florida Senate website, outlines the specific rule and any applicable exceptions. The worked example below illustrates how the two-year period applies in a typical scenario. To estimate the deadline for a particular situation, users may consult the DocketMath calculator.
