Are pets allowed in most Florida retirement communities?

Yes, pets are generally allowed in Florida retirement communities, but policies vary by community and often include rules about number, weight/size, and sometimes breed. Most active adult and independent living communities accept family pets, especially cats and dogs, with residents responsible for care, vaccinations, and control.

If you have a beloved pet, be sure to ask each community about its specific pet policy before moving in to make sure your furry family member is welcome.
