What is Considered Theft in Florida?

In Florida, theft is defined as knowingly obtaining or using the property of another with the intent to, either temporarily or permanently, deprive the owner of their right to the property or to appropriate the property for themselves or another who is not entitled to it.

Florida law recognizes several types of theft crimes, including:

Petit Theft: Petit theft is the unlawful taking of another person's property when the total value of the property is less than $300. Petit theft is a second-degree misdemeanor in Florida.
Grand Theft: Grand theft is the unlawful taking of another person's property when the total value of the property is $300 or more. Grand theft can be charged as a third-degree, second-degree, or first-degree felony, depending on the value of the property.
Embezzlement: Embezzlement is a type of theft crime that involves misappropriating funds that have been entrusted to you, often by an employer.
Robbery: Robbery occurs when a person uses force, violence, assault, or putting the victim in fear while committing theft.

What Are the Penalties for Theft in Florida?

The penalties for theft depend on the value of the property stolen and the specific theft crime with which you are charged.

The penalties for petit theft are as follows:

If the value of the property is less than $100, the offense is a second-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 60 days in jail and/or a maximum $500 fine.
If the value of the property is $100 or more but less than $300, the offense is a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year in jail and/or a maximum $1,000 fine.

The penalties for grand theft are as follows:

Grand theft of the third degree is a felony of the third degree, punishable by up to 5 years in prison and/or a maximum $5,000 fine.
Grand theft of the second degree is a felony of the second degree, punishable by up to 15 years in prison and/or a maximum $10,000 fine.
Grand theft of the first degree is a felony of the first degree, punishable by up to 30 years in prison and/or a maximum $10,000 fine.

If you are charged with robbery, the penalties are as follows:

If the robbery was committed without a weapon, it is a second-degree felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison and/or a maximum $10,000 fine.
If the robbery was committed with a weapon, it is a first-degree felony, punishable by up to 30 years in prison and/or a maximum $10,000 fine.

How Long Does a Theft Charge Stay on Your Record in Florida?

The length of time a theft charge remains on your record depends on the specific charge. In Florida, theft charges are not automatically expunged or sealed.

Here's how long theft charges stay on your record in Florida:

Petit theft: A first-time petit theft offense may be eligible for expunction or sealing, but a subsequent offense is not.
Grand theft: Grand theft charges may be eligible for expunction or sealing if the defendant was acquitted or the charge was dismissed.
Robbery: Robbery charges are not eligible for expunction or sealing.
