Burglary Bail in Florida
Burglary in Florida is always a felony. The severity depends on whether the structure was occupied, whether a weapon was used, and whether assault/battery occurred during the burglary.
| Charge | Classification | Typical Bail |
|---|---|---|
| Burglary (unoccupied structure) | 3rd Degree Felony | $5,000 – $15,000 |
| Burglary (occupied dwelling) | 2nd Degree Felony | $10,000 – $25,000 |
| Burglary w/ Assault | 1st Degree Felony | $25,000 – $75,000 |
| Armed Burglary | 1st Degree Felony (PBL) | $50,000 – $150,000 |
Note: "PBL" means Punishable by Life — armed burglary carries up to a life sentence, which significantly increases bail.

Florida Statute Reference
Burglary offenses in Florida are governed by F.S. 810.02. Key provisions include the definition of the offense, penalty classifications, and sentencing guidelines. For the full text, visit the Florida Legislature website.
The right to bail in Florida is guaranteed by Article I, Section 14 of the Florida Constitution for all non-capital offenses. This means that for most burglary charges, bail must be offered — the only question is the amount.
