As is the case with all Florida roads with federal designations, the entirety of US 19 has a hidden Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) designation:
- State Road 55 (SR 55) from the U.S. Highway's southern terminus at US 41 south of Terra Ceia to the junction with US 221/SR 55 north in Perry.
- SR 30 from the junction with US 221/SR 55 in Perry for roughly one mile (1.6 km) to the junction with US 27 south (SR 20 east)/US 98 west (SR 30 west) via US 221 Truck.
- SR 20 from the junction with US 27/US 98 in Perry cosigning with US 27 until the routes split in Capps.
- State Road 57 (SR 57) from the US 27/SR 20 split in Capps to the Georgia state line north of Texas Hill.
US 19 remains independent of Interstate 75 (I-75), even as the routes converge in the Tampa Bay area. The route is cosigned with I-275 over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge over the mouth of Tampa Bay, US 98 between the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge and Perry, US 27 Alternate (US 27 Alt.) between Chiefland and Perry, and US 27 between and Perry and Capps.
