Sec. 6-27 prohibits ownership of pigs or other swine except purebred miniature Vietnamese potbellied pigs — limited to two per household, indoors only, spayed/neutered. Other exotic animals are regulated by Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission Class I/II/III licensing.
Sec. 6-27(a) makes potbelly pigs the only allowed swine: max two per household, kept indoors, exercised only on leash or in secure fenced enclosure, no running at large. Sec. 6-27(a)(3) requires the owner to produce a vet letter confirming the pig is a spayed or neutered Vietnamese potbellied pig and to allow code-enforcement photos for identification. Other exotic species (reptiles, primates, large cats, wolves) require state-level FWC permits under F.A.C. ch. 68A-6: Class I prohibited from personal use; Class II requires permits and caging; Class III requires no-cost permits. Florida F.S. §379.372 makes unlicensed possession a first-degree misdemeanor.
Sec. 1-22(a) general penalty up to $500 for Sec. 6-27 violations. Sec. 6-27(b) cross-references Sec. 22-50 sanitary nuisance — pigs declared nuisances must be removed. FWC violations are state misdemeanors with separate $500-$1,000 fines.
