Feeding alligators, bears, raccoons, foxes and sandhill cranes is illegal under FL §379.412 and FWC rules. PBC supplements with §4-30 prohibiting intentional feeding of wildlife on public property. First offense is a second-degree misdemeanor.
Alligator feeding is a Level Two violation under FWC, punishable by up to $500 fine and 60 days in jail. PBC parks (Loxahatchee Slough, Riverbend, Lake Lytal) post no-feeding signs. Sandhill cranes (a state-threatened species) are protected from harassment. Iguana, muscovy duck and feral cat feeding are not state-prohibited but discouraged; some HOAs cite under nuisance rules.
FL second-degree misdemeanor: up to $500 fine, 60 days jail. PBC code citation: $250.
