Commercial drone operations in Florida are regulated by federal FAA Part 107 and state law; local governments cannot impose additional commercial operation restrictions.
Under Fla. Stat. 330.41, no county or municipality may regulate commercial drone operations, including delivery, photography, surveying, or inspection services. Operators must hold an FAA Remote Pilot Certificate under 14 CFR Part 107. State law preserves narrow exceptions for limiting takeoff and landing on critical infrastructure or government property under Fla. Stat. 330.41(4). Surveillance of private property remains restricted by Fla. Stat. 934.50, with carve-outs for licensed surveyors, utility inspections, and law enforcement under warrant.
Operators violating FAA rules face federal civil penalties up to $32,666 per violation. State surveillance violations under Fla. Stat. 934.50 carry civil damages and attorneys' fee awards.
