The requirement for the 1000 hours is not written into the statutes. The law grants FWC authority to define additional requirements, and they are written into their regulations. Here's a summary:

Maybe I'm reading your comments wrong, but just to be clear, these regulations apply everywhere in the state, but municipalities may add additional requirements. Most places I've heard of have either none or an outright ban, fairly simple. The tough part will not so much be getting someone to cooperate with your questions, but finding someone who actually knows.



The best thing might be to call FWC and ask them to put you in touch with the local inspector who should know about any local ordinances...I hope. If not, he can probably tell you where to look. Everyone I've dealt with has been very helpful.



If you must contact local government, you might start by just asking who you can talk to about requirements for keeping exotic animals. If you get to someone knowledgable about that, they probably won't have a problem with the subject...
