Miami-Dade County follows Florida state law on security cameras. Homeowners may install cameras on their property without a permit. Florida Statute Β§810.145 prohibits video voyeurism. Cameras must not record areas with a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Miami-Dade County does not have a local ordinance regulating residential security cameras. Florida state law governs. Homeowners may install security cameras on their own property β exterior walls, fences, carports, trees β without a county permit. Florida Statute Β§810.145 (Video Voyeurism) prohibits recording images of another person in a place where that person has a reasonable expectation of privacy, without their knowledge and consent, for entertainment or other specified purposes. This protects against cameras aimed into bedrooms, bathrooms, or other private areas. For audio recording, Florida is a two-party (all-party) consent state under Florida Statute Β§934.03. This means recording conversations β whether in person or by phone β requires the consent of all parties to the conversation. Security cameras that capture audio of neighbors' conversations without their consent can violate Florida wiretapping law, which is a third-degree felony. Video-only recording (no audio capture) of public areas and areas without privacy expectations is generally permissible. Miami-Dade County encourages residential security cameras as part of crime prevention programs.
Video voyeurism (FL Β§810.145): first-degree misdemeanor (up to 1 year jail). Wiretapping (FL Β§934.03): third-degree felony (up to 5 years prison).
