10 Most Unusual Laws in Florida

Contributor: George Lorenzo How can I contribute?

Florida's weird laws

Florida: a state full of unique people, places, and — come to find out — laws.

Some of these laws may be as old as St. Augustine (the oldest city in the US), but that doesn’t change the fact that they are written law.

Take a look at some of Florida’s most unique and outlandish laws. Who knows, maybe you’ve actually been acting illegally all along…

GRAVE SITE RESPECT. In the state of Florida, it’s illegal to park or drive over top of a grave site. Tweet this
COUCHES AND CARPORTS. In the city of Cape Coral, Florida, a person can be fined $50 for keeping a couch underneath their outdoor carport. Tweet this
HAIR SALON ETIQUETTE. It’s illegal for women to fall asleep under a hair dryer while at a hair salon. Tweet this
PUBLIC MORALS. Anyone who is convicted of “corrupting the public’s morals” can be given a misdemeanor offense in Florida. The real question is what constitutes “corrupting the public’s morals?” Tweet this
ROLLING BARRELS. In the city of Pensacola, rolling a barrel down the street is considered illegal. You may also face a fine, depending on the contents of your barrel. Tweet this
FLOWERPOTS. If you plant a flower in a pot without a drainage hole, you have created a public nuisance. Tweet this
STEALING HORSES. If you are tried and convicted of horse theft, the penalty in Florida is still written as death by hanging. Tweet this
DIRECTIONAL DOORS. Did you know that Florida law states that all doors to public buildings must open in the outward direction? Tweet this
SAFE SKATEBOARDING. Ignoring most teenagers in the state, Florida still considers skateboarding without a license to be illegal. Tweet this
EXPECTING PIGS. If you have a pregnant pig on your hands, Florida law requires that it be kept free from a confining cage. Tweet this

After reviewing this list, are you guilty of breaking any of these extra-ordinary Florida laws? Let us know in the comments below.

    It would be nice if you cited the statute to these so people can find the actual laws.

      Thanks for the comment, Jacqueline. We cite the statutes in some of our other articles on unusual state laws (such as Arizona). We’ll keep this recommendation in mind for future articles.

    The door one isn’t weird. They do this for safety due to hurricanes. Heavy winds push against the door and the door is less likely to cave in. Its very smart! 😊
