About each permit
Doggy Dining Permit (Dogs in Outdoor Dining Areas, Unincorporated Osceola)
County Code Sec. 12-1, adopted under F.S. §509.233, lets a public food service establishment in the unincorporated area of Osceola County allow patrons' dogs in a designated outdoor dining area, but only after it applies for and receives an annual permit from the county. The application includes a scaled diagram of the outdoor area, the days and hours dogs will be allowed, the establishment's Division of Hotels and Restaurants license number, and a certificate of commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate with no exclusion for animals or animal bites. Sec. 12-1 sets a non-refundable application fee of $150.00 and a $25.00 late fee per permit when a permit is not renewed within five days of expiry, and Appendix B of the county fee schedule, effective October 1, 2026 by Resolution #26-019R, as listed on the county's official fee schedule page, lists the permit at $150.00 for a new permit or renewal, with renewals going through the same review and Code Enforcement inspections as the original. Permits expire on June 30 each year and expire automatically on sale of the establishment rather than transferring to the new owner. Operating rules include leashed dogs, no dogs on chairs or tables, hand sanitizer at every table and posted signs for staff and patrons.
