How long do I have to sue over written contract in Florida?

Answered for: Florida

(2) WITHIN FIVE YEARS. — ... (b) A legal or equitable action on a contract, obligation, or liability founded on a written instrument

The statute states 5 years for written contract. When that clock starts, and whether it can be paused, are separate questions this entry does not answer.
