FL S1454

Homeowners may display up to two portable, removable flags (not larger than 4 1/2 feet by 6 feet) including the U.S. flag, Florida flag, military service flags, POW-MIA flag, or first responder flags, regardless of homeowners' association restrictions.

"First responder flag" is defined to include flags honoring law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, correctional officers, 911 telecommunicators, nurses, search and rescue personnel, and federal law enforcement officers.

Homeowners may erect a freestanding flagpole up to 20 feet high on their property and display one U.S. flag and one additional permitted flag from it, provided the flagpole does not obstruct sightlines at intersections or encroach on easements.

Homeowners' associations cannot restrict property owners or tenants from storing or displaying items on their parcels that are not visible from the parcel's frontage or adjacent parcels, including artificial turf, boats, recreational vehicles, and flags.

All flags must be displayed in a respectful manner consistent with Title 36 U.S.C. chapter 10 requirements; the act takes effect July 1, 2023.
