FAQ
An HOA can enforce pet limits in the community. Your HOA dog rules can have limitations on breed, the number of pets, and maximum size or weight. For example, if the community is comprised of families with a lot of young children, you might want to prohibit dangerous dog breeds, such as pit bulls and rottweilers.
Yes. HOA may restrict breeds.
The only way to force an HOA to enforce the rules is file for arbitration against the HOA or gain support from neighbors and recall the board. There is no FL government sector that watches over HOAs.

Unfortunately, if they prove the dogs are aggressive, they can make you remove them from the property. If the dogs are service animals or emotional support animals, even though those are protected under the law, if they are aggressive and it can be proven they are aggressive the HOA can force you to remove them.
Florida adopted a new dangerous dog law that went into effect on October 1, 2023. This new law prevents local governments and public housing authorities from adopting policies or ordinances that designate a dog as dangerous based solely on its breed, size, or weight.
Summary: Florida Senate Bill 942 prohibits public housing authorities or local governments from adopting policies that ban dogs based on breed, size, or weight.
HOAs often forbid or strictly limit the number of animals residents can have. You may be allowed no dogs, or only one dog, or up to two dogs so long as each one weighs less than 35 pounds, or only dogs that belong to certain breeds. Cats, birds, and other pets may be similarly limited or restricted.
