Florida Nudity Laws

Return to Discussions

I have read and heard in several places that it is legal to be nude on your own property, ?even if you can be seen by neghbors.
Does anyone know if the same is true for invited guests if they have the owner's permission?

RE:Florida Nudity Laws

Here's the statute for Lewdness/Indecent Exposure in Florida:

800.03Exposure of sexual organs.

(1)A person commits unlawful exposure of sexual organs by:

(a)Exposing or exhibiting his or her sexual organs in public or on the private premises of another, or so near thereto as to be seen from such private premises, in a vulgar or indecent manner; or

(b)Being naked in public in a vulgar or indecent manner.

(2)(a)Except as provided in paragraph (b), a violation of this section is a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

(b)A second or subsequent violation of this section is a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

(3)The exposure of sexual organs by any of the following does not violate this section:

(a)A mother breastfeeding her baby; or

(b)An individual who is merely naked at any place provided or set apart for that purpose.

Based on section (1)(a) you have to be displaying yourself in a public place or on someone else's private property to run afoul of the law. If you are on your own private property, the statute would not apply. If you're invited onto or have the owner's permission you fall under the exception described in (3)(b).
