Florida Statute §767.14 preempts breed-specific local bans, but Hillsborough County Code §6-27 prohibits any dog from engaging in vicious, aggressive, or unprovoked menacing behavior regardless of breed.
An animal officially declared 'dangerous' must be confined indoors or in a securely fenced/locked enclosure, kept on a leash with a muzzle when off the owner's property, and have liability insurance covering at least $100,000 per Florida Statute §767.12. Confirmed bite incidents may result in classification as a 'dangerous dog' with enhanced confinement.
First offense for vicious/aggressive behavior starts at $450; dangerous-dog non-compliance is a misdemeanor or felony depending on resulting harm.
