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.
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.
If you live in an apartment, duplex, town home etc. (your wall touches another family's wall), you may have up to a total of four (4) dogs and/or cats. If you live in a single family home on less than a half an acre, the limit is six (6) dogs and/or cats.
