Florida is not a second Colorado. FDACS's 'Pet Law', section 828.29, governs dogs and cats transported into the state or offered for sale — health certificates, vaccinations, a consumer guarantee and pet-dealer record-keeping — and says nothing about boarding or daycare; the FDACS Division of Animal Industry lists animal disease, movement, livestock identification and equine programs and no kennel or boarding program. No state boarding register was found. Miami-Dade is a different story from Orlando's Orange County and Tampa's Hillsborough County: it is not that the county never regulated boarding. Miami-Dade County Code Chapter 5 still contains a kennel/pet-care-center license requirement (§ 5-13) on its books, with an annual renewal deadline of September 30 and fees set by county order — but Miami-Dade's own Animal Services Department states, on its current licensing page, that it 'no longer requires licenses for breeders, hobby breeders, guard dog service businesses, kennel operators, mobile groomers, pet care centers and pet dealers' because of state legislation preempting local occupational licensing (Fla. Stat. § 163.211, enacted as HB 735 in 2021, with local non-construction occupational licenses phased out by July 1, 2023). The county still applies its Chapter 5 standards-of-care rules (§ 5-9) to kennels and pet care centers, and offers a voluntary, non-mandatory 'Certificate of Acknowledgement' program, but there is no license to hold and no registrant list to check.
