An appeal of a final order must be commenced by filing a notice of appeal within 30 days of rendition of the order. This deadline is jurisdictional — missing it generally ends the appeal.
Florida > Appeals from final orders of trial courts
File the notice of appeal with the clerk of the lower tribunal, with the filing fee, within 30 days of rendition of the final order. Confirm the rendition date carefully: authorized and timely post-judgment motions can suspend rendition. This deadline is jurisdictional and cannot be extended by agreement.

Reviewer note: Live-verified Phase 9.3 (2026-08-01) against the Bar's 7/1/2026 Appellate Rules: 9.110(b) 30-days-of-rendition and 9.020(h)(1) tolling motions confirmed verbatim.
The Justice Court Appeal Rules sheet posted by JP Precinct 1 Place 2 (April 2026 edition, captured from the court's own page): the TRCP 506.1 appeal-perfection requirements from justice court to the County Courts at Law — bond amounts and the 21-day window, filing fees, and the inability-to-pay alternative; the composition also carries the court's Repair & Remedy appeal sheet (Rule 509.8): 21-day written notice of appeal, enforcement stayed on timely notice with no bond required, appellant pays county-court costs, the $64 justice-court appeal fee, and the County Clerk's 20-day fee window.
A civil notice of appeal is due 30 days after the judgment is signed — extended to 90 days by a timely motion for new trial, motion to modify, motion to reinstate, or proper findings request; accelerated appeals allow only 20 days; restricted appeals six months; and any other party may appeal within 14 days after the first notice.
