Which agency inspects restaurants in Florida?

Routine regulation and inspection of restaurants is carried out by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The Department of Health is responsible for the investigation and control of foodborne illness outbreaks associated with all food service establishments.

How do I report a dirty restaurant in Florida?

If you see violations of state standards, report them and the Department of Business and Professional Regulation will send inspectors. Call the Florida DBPR at 850-487-1395 or report a restaurant for health violations online.

The full story can be found in our restaurant inspection database.

What does all this terminology mean when it comes to Florida restaurant inspections?

Basic violations are those that are contrary to best practices.

a warning is issued after an inspector documents violations that must be corrected by a certain date or within a certain number of days after receipt of the inspection report.

A administrative complaint is a form of legal action taken by the division. Lack of compliance after a warning, a pattern of repeated violations, or the existence of serious circumstances that warrant immediate action may result in the division filing an administrative complaint against the facility. The division’s website states, “Correcting the violations is important, but sanctions may still apply to violations corrected after the warning period has passed.”

A emergency order — when a restaurant is closed by the inspector — is based on an imminent threat to the public. Here, the director of the Division of Hotels and Restaurants has determined that the establishment must cease doing business and that any division license has been revoked to protect the health, safety, or welfare of the public.

After an emergency closure or permit withdrawal, a call-back inspection is carried out for 24 hours.
