LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Florida Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, covering the 12-month period from January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2005. Inside, you'll find valuable information about how the fund was managed during the reporting period, including a discussion with the fund's portfolio manager, Scott Sprauer.

Municipal bonds generally shrugged off bad news and focused on more positive factors in 2005, helping the market post its sixth consecutive calendar year of positive returns.Although short-term interest rates rose by 200 basis points due to eight consecutive increases by the Federal Reserve Board during 2005, the yield of 30-year AAA-rated general obligation bonds ended the year 22 basis points lower than where it began.Analysts generally attribute the municipal bond market's strength to low inflation and robust investor demand for tax-exempt income.

Looking forward, we expect the U.S. economy to continue its moderate expansion in 2006, while inflation should stay low and investor demand for income-producing securities should remain high. Risks in the new year include uncertainty regarding Fed policy under a new chairman and relatively rich valuations among municipal bonds compared to U.S.Treasury securities.

As always, we encourage you to speak with your financial consultant about how these and other market forces may affect your investments. Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

Stephen E. Canter
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation
January 17, 2006

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Scott Sprauer, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Florida Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund perform relative to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2005, the fund achieved a total return of 1.38% .¹In comparison, the Lehman Brothers 7-Year Municipal Bond Index (the "Index"), the fund's benchmark, achieved a total return of 1.72% for the same period.²In addition, the fund is reported in the Lipper Florida Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category. Over the reporting period, the average total return for all funds reported in the Lipper category was 1.33% .³

Low inflation expectations and robust investor demand helped intermediate-term municipal bonds withstand most of the potentially eroding effects of rising short-term interest rates in 2005. Income from seasoned holdings and our emphasis on longer-term bonds helped the fund produce a higher return than its Lipper category average. However, the fund underperformed the Index, primarily due to relatively light exposure to lower-rated securities that are part of the benchmark. In addition, the benchmark's performance does not reflect fund fees and expenses.

What is the fund's investment approach?

The fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds issued by the state of Florida, its political subdivisions, authorities and corporations, that provide income exempt from federal income tax and which enable the fund's shares to be exempt from the Florida intangible personal property tax. The fund generally maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity between three and 10 years.

The Fund 3

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

While the fund generally intends to invest only in investment-grade securities or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus, it does have the ability to invest up to 20% of its net assets in bonds rated below investment grade ("high-yield" or "junk" bonds) or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may assess the current interest-rate environment and the municipal bond's potential volatility in different rate environments.We focus on bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices.A portion of the fund's assets may be allocated to "discount" bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value, or to "premium" bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund's allocation to either discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environment.We also may look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

What other factors influenced the fund's performance?

Rising short-term interest rates represented a significant factor affecting the fund's performance during 2005. In its ongoing fight against inflation, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") raised the overnight federal funds rate eight consecutive times, from 2.25% at the start of the year to 4.25% by the end.

Yields of municipal bonds with short maturities rose along with interest rates, eroding their value. Contrary to historical norms, however, longer-term bond yields fell slightly during the reporting period, as prices were supported by low inflation and robust investor demand. As a result, yield differences between shorter- and longer-term bonds narrowed, producing better performance at the long end of the maturity spectrum.

The fund also was influenced by an improving fiscal environment in Florida, including the creation of new jobs and higher sales tax receipts in the recovering economy. Due to these factors, significant budget reserves and the state's historically conservative fiscal policies, Florida's financial performance has been stronger than many other states.

In this environment, we continued to diversify the fund's holdings across its full maturity spectrum. However, we placed mild emphasis on premium-priced securities with 15- to 20-year maturities, a section of the yield curve that benefited when short-term rates rose and long-term rates fell. In addition, the fund received strong income contributions from its longstanding core holdings, which provided higher yields than were available from newly issued securities.However,these positive factors were offset to a degree by the fund's relatively high credit profile, as some lower-rated credits that are part of the benchmark rallied in 2005.

What is the fund's current strategy?

Many analysts interpreted the minutes of the Fed's December meeting as evidence that the end of the credit-tightening cycle may be approaching. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy has been sending mixed signals, including signs of weaker consumer spending. Until the outlook becomes clearer, we have maintained a generally neutral investment posture. Of course, we are prepared to adjust our strategies as market conditions change.

Past performance is not predictive of future performance.The fund's performance shown in the graph and table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Dreyfus Florida Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund on 12/31/95 to a $10,000 investment made in the Lehman Brothers 7-Year Municipal Bond Index (the "Index") on that date. All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.

The fund invests primarily in Florida municipal securities and its performance shown in the line graph takes into account fees and expenses.The Index is not limited to investments principally in Florida municipal obligations and does not take into account charges, fees and other expenses.The Index, unlike the fund, is an unmanaged, total return performance benchmark for the investment-grade, geographically unrestricted 7-year tax-exempt bond market, consisting of municipal bonds with maturities of 6-8 years.These factors can contribute to the Index potentially outperforming or underperforming the fund. Further information relating to fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is contained in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Florida Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (the "fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a non-diversified open-end management investment com-pany.The fund's investment objective is to provide investors with as high a level of income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital.The Dreyfus Corporation (the "Manager" or "Dreyfus") serves as the fund's investment adviser. The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation ("Mellon Financial"). Dreyfus Service Corporation (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund's shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.

The fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the "Service") approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gain are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, if any, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the

The Fund 19

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

At December 31, 2005, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed tax exempt income $70,679, undistributed capital gains $112,101 and unrealized appreciation $7,559,277.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, were as follows: tax exempt income $7,629,208 and $8,331,786 and long-term capital gains $974,461 and $367,314.

Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowing. During the period ended December 31, 2005, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement ("Agreement") with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .60% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

(b) Under the fund's Shareholder Services Plan, the fund reimburses the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets for certain allocated expenses of providing personal services and/or maintaining shareholder accounts.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. During the period ended December 31, 2005, the fund was charged of $111,324 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dreyfus Florida Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the years indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian.We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus Florida Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund at December 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated years, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
