Florida SMS Compliance Compliance
Text message marketing compliance rules in Florida
Mini-TCPA State — Fla. Stat. § 501.059
Florida has enacted a state-level TCPA that goes beyond federal requirements. Federal compliance alone is not enough for SMS Compliance operations here.
Consent Requirements
One-to-One Consent Required
Shared consent from lead generators is NOT valid. Consent must specifically name your company.
FTSA explicitly and specifically covers text messages sent using automated systems. This places Florida among the strictest states for SMS marketing. Even platforms marketed as "P2P" may trigger FTSA if they automate the delivery sequence. The FCC one-to-one consent rule (effective Jan 2025) compounds the risk — purchased lead lists where consent was obtained for a different company are now largely unusable in Florida. Build a first-party, consent-verified contact list or face class action exposure.
