Exotic and wildlife species are regulated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). Class I animals are banned as pets statewide; Class II and Class III require FWC permits.
FWC enforces FL 379 statewide. Class I wildlife (large cats, bears, great apes, crocodiles) cannot be kept as personal pets. Class II (cougars, wolves, alligators) require caging standards and a permit. Class III (most reptiles, small mammals) require a no-cost permit. The 2021 rule banning green iguanas and tegus as pets also applies. Plant City defers to state and county rules on exotics.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
