How much can I sue for in small claims court in Virginia?
Answered for: Virginia
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the small claims court shall have jurisdiction, concurrent with that of the general district court, over the civil action specified in § 16.1-77 (1) when the amount claimed does not exceed $5,000, exclusive of interest.
Virginia caps a small claims suit at $5,000, Exclusive of interest. Jurisdiction is concurrent with the general district court, whose own civil limit is higher..
