Which Florida Statute regulates Landscape Architecture?

The regulation of Landscape Architecture in Florida is governed by Chapter 481, Part II of the Florida Statutes. This chapter encompasses the licensure and practice of various design professionals, including landscape architects. It outlines the qualifications for becoming licensed, the processes involved in obtaining a license, and the ethical standards that licensed professionals must adhere to. The inclusion of landscape architecture within this statute reflects the importance of these professionals in maintaining public health, safety, and welfare through responsible landscape planning and design.

In contrast, the other chapters listed deal with different fields or professions. Chapter 479 pertains to advertising and outdoor signs, Chapter 487 addresses pest control, and Chapter 483 concerns medical practice, none of which are related to the field of landscape architecture. Thus, Chapter 481, Part II is specifically tailored to regulate landscape architecture and its practitioners within the state.
