Palm Beach County has no breed-specific restrictions. FL Statute §767.14 preempts all local breed bans statewide. Dangerous-dog determinations are behavior-based under FL §767.
FL §767.14 prohibits any local government from regulating dogs based on breed. PBC Animal Care and Control classifies dangerous dogs only after a documented bite or aggressive incident under FL §767.12. Once classified, the owner must obtain a $100,000 liability policy, install a secure enclosure, post warning signs and microchip the animal.
