Nevermind, I looked it up..my mother raised a monster. She sold encyclopedias. No grandfathering....law says adopt new ordinances or amend existing ones.

Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine

(2) Each water management district shall design and implement an incentive program to encourage all local governments within its district to adopt new ordinances or amend existing ordinances to require Florida-friendly landscaping for development permitted after the effective date of the new ordinance or amendment. Each district shall assist the local governments within its jurisdiction by providing a model Florida-friendly landscaping ordinance and other technical assistance. Each district may develop its own model or use a model contained in the “Florida-Friendly Landscape Guidance Models for Ordinances, Covenants, and Restrictions” manual developed by the department.
I contacted a legislator and was told the Department of Environmental Protection Welcome | Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has a 52 page booklet that outlines all the do's and don'ts on the subject. I'd contact them to get the facts.
