Dunedin's Outdoor Hospitality Permit is a zoning permit for outdoor dining or drinking areas located wholly on private property and associated with a business that provides food or drink service. It is permissible for any restaurant, bar, cafe, or related business. Businesses already operating unapproved outdoor dining areas must obtain the permit by September 1, 2027, under a three-year grace period granted by the City Commission.
