Florida Theft Charge Details
In Florida’s criminal law, theft occurs when someone knowingly takes or uses property they do not own without the permission of its owner, or with the intent to remove its ownership and use from the rightful owner. The removal of property can be temporary or permanent, too, meaning borrowing an item without permission could be enough grounds to bring forth theft charges.
There are five main tiers of theft charges in Florida:
- Second degree petty theft: Property is valued less than $100; punishable by up to a $500 fine and up to 60 days in jail or 6 months of probation.
- First degree petty theft: Property is valued less than $300; punishable by up to a $1,000 fine and up to 12 months in jail and/or 12 months of probation.
- Third degree grand theft: Property is valued less than $20,000, or is a firearm, vehicle, farm animal, large quantities of fruit, fire extinguishers, most narcotics, certain road signs and construction site equipment, and certain gasses; punishable up to a $5,000 fine and up to 5 years in prison and/or 5 years of probation.
- Second degree grand theft: Property is valued less than $100,000; punishable by up to a $10,000 fine and 15 years in prison and/or 15 years of probation.
- First degree grand theft: Property is valued greater than $100,000; punishable by up to a $10,000 fine and 30 years in prison and/or 30 years of probation.
