No breed-specific restrictions are allowed in Temple Terrace. FL 767.14 preempts breed bans statewide, and Miami-Dades grandfathered pit bull ban was repealed by referendum in October 2023. Dangerous dog determinations are behavior-based.
Florida Statute 767.14 prohibits cities and counties from enacting breed-specific legislation. Any dog that bites, attacks, or causes severe injury can be declared dangerous under FL 767.12 regardless of breed. Temple Terrace follows Hillsborough County procedure for dangerous dog hearings. Homeowners insurance carriers may still exclude certain breeds (pit bulls, rottweilers, dobermans) even though city/county cannot ban them. HOAs in Temple Terrace Preserve and other subdivisions sometimes impose breed restrictions which are enforceable as private contract.
No breed-based citations possible. Dangerous dog violations: $500 fine, mandatory muzzling, $100K liability insurance, secure enclosure required.
