No breed bans allowed in Apopka. FL Statute 767.14 preempts local breed-specific legislation statewide. Dangerous dog classification under FL 767 is behavior-based, not breed-based. Pit bulls, Rottweilers, and other breeds fully legal.
Florida amended 767.14 in 2023 removing any grandfather clause so no Florida municipality may restrict dogs by breed. Apopka regulates dangerous dogs only after individual bite or threatening behavior incidents investigated by OCAS. Insurance carriers may still impose breed restrictions on homeowners policies.
