How much can I sue for in small claims court in Florida?
Answered for: Florida
These rules are applicable to all actions of a civil nature in the county courts which contain a demand for money or property, the value of which does not exceed $8,000 exclusive of costs, interest, and attorneys' fees.
The statute sets the small claims limit at $8,000, $8,000 is the ceiling for the SMALL CLAIMS RULES track, exclusive of costs, interest and attorneys' fees. It is set by Supreme Court rule, not by statute. The county court's general civil jurisdiction is much higher - see limitOther.. That figure is the one the section states; the words above are the section itself.
This answer is true in Florida and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Florida.
