Florida Right to Farm Act

Florida · Public Nuisances · §§ 823.14 to 823.14 · 1 section

Overview

The Right to Farm Act limits nuisance liability for agricultural operations, declaring a policy of protecting farming activity from legal challenge on that basis. Its core mechanism deems qualifying agricultural operations not to be a nuisance, with definitions fixing which operations and activities fall within that protection. The act also addresses the effect of private contracts and agreements, sets rules governing damages, and provides for the treatment of lawsuits found to be frivolous.
