Ocoee cannot restrict dogs by breed. FL §767.14 preempts all breed-specific legislation statewide. Dangerous dog determinations are behavior-based under FL §767 regardless of breed.
Florida Statute 767.14 explicitly prohibits any municipality from adopting breed-specific ordinances. Ocoee evaluates dangerous dogs based on documented behavior through the Orange County Animal Services classification process. Homeowner insurance and HOA covenants in Ocoee subdivisions (Forestbrooke, Prairie Lake Reserve, Westyn Bay) may still impose private breed restrictions not preempted by state law.
