Florida licenses food establishments through DBPR (most restaurants) and FDACS (groceries). FDOH-Miami-Dade handles institutional kitchens, schools, and complaints. Florida does not issue letter grades, but inspection reports are public and posted online by establishment.
Most Miami-Dade restaurants fall under Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) Division of Hotels and Restaurants per FL Chapter 509. Inspection reports list violations as basic, intermediate, or high-priority and are searchable at MyFloridaLicense.com. Schools, hospitals, and group homes are inspected by FDOH-Miami-Dade. Unlike Los Angeles or New York, Florida does not require letter grades posted at entrances. Repeat high-priority violations can trigger emergency closure orders. Consumers can file complaints with DBPR online or by phone, prompting unannounced reinspection.
Operating without a current DBPR license, ignoring stop-sale orders, or failing reinspection can lead to administrative fines, license suspension, or emergency closure.
