Florida Statute Section 767.14 preempts all breed-specific legislation statewide. Titusville cannot enact breed bans or restrictions. Dangerous dog classifications are behavior-based under FL Sections 767.01-767.04.
Titusville does not enforce breed-specific legislation (BSL) in city limits. Instead, the county uses behavior-based dangerous dog classifications. A dog may be declared "dangerous" or "potentially dangerous" after biting a person, attacking another animal, or exhibiting threatening behavior. Owners of declared dangerous dogs must maintain secure enclosures (6-foot fenced yard or kennel), carry $100,000+ liability insurance, muzzle the dog in public, and register the animal with Titusville Animal Control annually. Florida state law governs the hearing process for dangerous dog declarations.
Failure to comply with dangerous dog requirements carries fines of $500–$1,000. Dogs that cause serious injury may be ordered euthanized. Owners face potential criminal charges for negligent handling.
