Can a landlord refuse Section 8 in Holmes County?
It depends on the city. Florida has no statewide source-of-income law, but some local ordinances in the state prohibit voucher discrimination. Check whether Holmes County sits inside a protected jurisdiction before assuming either way.
No statewide SOI protection. Miami-Dade County (2020) and a few other localities have protections. Elsewhere, landlords may refuse vouchers.
