Florida Laws Surrounding Arson

In Florida, arson can be punished as either a first-, second-, or third-degree felony. If any property that was damaged by fire was a dwelling occupied by people or a structure where people are normally present—such as a jail, a mall, or a place of worship—the crime will likely be charged as a first-degree felony punishable by up to 30 years in prison, 30 years’ probation, and a fine of $10,000.

If the structure damaged was not occupied, was not a dwelling, and was not a place where people normally gather, the crime will likely be charged as a second-degree felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison, 15 years’ probation, and a $10,000 fine.
