If it is not a 768.28 complaint, state would have 40 days to respond, 30 for 768.28, and if non state agency 20. Rule 1.140

Different jurisdictions have different time periods for answering, i.e., city court vs. state court. Generally, when you are served with a petition it says on the very first page the time period for answering.
