To breed animals within the state of Florida, a kennel and business license is required. Permits and licenses must be obtained from local county and city government offices. The local County Animal Control agency will oversee the process once the business requirements are met. They will also continue to monitor the process to make sure that all regulations and laws are being followed. Additional requirements might be needed from breeding or kennel clubs in order to stay in good standing if the litters are registered with a club.
Contact the local city government for zoning laws that might limit or ban kennels in the location where your business will operate.
Register a fictitious business name with the Division of Corporations and pay the fee involved. Call 850-245-6058 if you have any filing questions. The Florida Department of State Division of Corporations is in charge of accepting and indexing business registrations or fillings as well as supplying information and certifications to businesses.
