Who inspects restaurants in Florida
Florida Division of Hotels and Restaurants. Florida doesn't publish letter grades or scores, so every letter is GradeLocal's, based on violations. We count every violation in the latest inspection, whatever its type, and use the same rule as every other state: none is an A, 1–2 a B, 3–5 a C, and 6 or more a D (an emergency closure order is also a D); for averages an A counts as 95, a B as 85, a C as 72 and a D as 50.

What Florida publishes
The agencies behind our Florida listings publish violation counts. None of them publish a score out of 100, so every Florida score on GradeLocal is a GradeLocal score, worked out from the official result.
How GradeLocal grades Florida restaurants
For violation counts, we count every violation in the latest inspection. None is an A, 1 or 2 is a B, 3 to 5 is a C, and 6 or more is a D. An emergency closure order is also a D.
Results with no score of their own get a set score for each letter: A is 95, B is 85, C is 72 and D is 50.
There are four letters, A to D, with no F. The same rule applies in every state, and the cutoffs are never adjusted for a state, county or city. We always use the latest inspection.
