What Is Burglary Under Florida Law?
Florida Statute § 810.02 defines burglary as entering a dwelling, structure, or conveyance with the intent to commit a crime inside, without permission. There are three degrees of burglary:
-
First-degree: Armed burglary or burglary involving assault/battery or property damage over $1,000
-
Second-degree: Unarmed burglary of an occupied dwelling or structure
-
Third-degree: Unarmed burglary of an unoccupied structure or conveyance
Each level carries distinct penalties, with first-degree burglary punishable by up to life imprisonment.
