Property Damage Statute of Limitations by State

Select your state to see how long you have to file a property damage claim — or scroll down for the full table, every deadline linked to its official statute.

Not legal advice — and missing this deadline can end your case. These are general filing deadlines under each state's statute. Your actual deadline can be shorter or longer: many states toll the clock for minors, apply a "discovery rule" when an injury isn't immediately obvious, or give you far less time to sue a government agency. Confirm your specific deadline with a licensed attorney in your state before relying on any date here.

About this data: Each period and citation above was extracted by hand from the actual statute text in our statutes database (sourced from official government publishers via the Open US Law dataset, Vaquill AI, CC BY 4.0) and cross-checked against that text, rather than copied from another site's chart — where we found a state's citation didn't match what's commonly cited elsewhere (a recent law change, for example), we used the current statute. Where a state's source text isn't in our database yet, we say so instead of linking to something we haven't verified.
