Beekeeping is protected statewide under FL Statute 586.10 which preempts local bans. Jupiter residents may keep hives with FDACS annual registration. HOAs in communities like Abacoa and Admirals Cove may still restrict.
FL 586.10 bars any Florida city or county from prohibiting beekeeping on residential property. FDACS (Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services) requires annual registration of every colony regardless of size, and inspections are free. Best management practices (BMPs) under FL 586.10(2) require water source on-site, calm queen genetics, and flyway barriers at least 6 feet high. Jupiter has no local hive-count cap. Loxahatchee River Environmental Control District protects pollinator habitat, making Jupiter generally beekeeper-friendly.
Failure to register with FDACS 100 dollars civil penalty. Creating a nuisance actionable under FL 823.
