The Florida Lemon Law


The Florida lemon law is a state statute governing vehicles sold and leased in Florida. It provides remedies to consumers who experience vehicle “nonconformities" that cannot be repaired after multiple attempts. 

The law covers cars and trucks purchased for the transport of persons or property. 

The law does not cover vehicles run only on tracks, off-road vehicles, trucks over 10,000 pounds G.V.W., motorcycles, mopeds, or the living facilities of recreational vehicles. 

The “lemon law rights period,” when a consumer may report a nonconformity to the manufacturer and pursue their rights under the law, in Florida is 24 months from the date of original delivery of the vehicle to the consumer. After 24 months, a consumer has 60 days to file a lemon law dispute.
