No breed-specific bans in West Palm Beach. FL §767.14 preempts all local breed-specific legislation statewide. Pit bulls, Rottweilers, and other breeds are legal subject to general dangerous dog rules.
Florida Statute §767.14 prohibits any city or county from passing a breed-specific ordinance. Miami-Dade County's pit bull ban (the only grandfathered exception) was repealed by voter referendum in October 2023. WPB and PBC enforce behavior-based dangerous dog classifications under FL §767.10-.16, requiring secure enclosure, $100,000 liability insurance, and microchipping for declared dangerous dogs.
