It is best to call the county and a call to the permitting office can get you in contact with the right person to answer the question. You'll find the number at the bottom of the Electrical Permit page. Since replacing the panel might be classed as "repair" AFCI may not be required but it is always up to the inspector.
If you're doing the work get a permit. You'll feel better after the inspection passes and that all is OK with the work. Since it requires the meter to be removed and disconnected to do the work, Duke, or OUC may show up since the smart meter will no longer be transmitting. To reconnect it they may want a permit.
This is for the Orange county. The City of Orlando have their own permitting. http://www.cityoforlando.net/permits/residential/
