Orlando restaurants are inspected by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Division of Hotels and Restaurants. Florida does not use letter grades; inspection reports are public and posted online at MyFloridaLicense.com.
Unlike Los Angeles or NYC, Florida has no A/B/C placard system. State inspectors visit Orlando food service establishments one to four times per year based on risk. Reports list violations as Basic, Intermediate, or High Priority, with High Priority requiring quick correction. Orange County Health Department handles foodborne-illness complaints and water-system oversight. Restaurants must hold an active DBPR public food service license and post it visibly. Repeat critical violations or imminent health hazards can trigger emergency closure orders, with reopening contingent on a callback inspection confirming compliance.
Operating without an active DBPR license, refusing inspector entry, or failing to correct High Priority violations can trigger fines, administrative complaints, and emergency closure until reinspected.
