Trespass Statute of Limitations by State (50 States + DC)

The general time limit to file a trespass lawsuit in each state and the District of Columbia, and the statute that sets it. Each period shown was read from the statute’s official text and matches the rule the calculator applies.

These are the general periods. When the clock starts, and what can pause or shorten it, depends on the state and the facts. States marked “Verification in progress” have no figure here until we finish checking them. None of this is legal advice.
