810.09 Trespass on property other than structure or conveyance. — (1)(a) A person who, without being authorized, licensed, or invited, willfully enters upon or remains in any property other than a structure or conveyance: 1. As to which notice against entering or remaining is given, either by actual communication to the offender or by posting, fencing, or cultivation as described in s. 810.011; or

2. If the property is the unenclosed curtilage of a dwelling and the offender enters or remains with the intent to commit an offense thereon, other than the offense of trespass, commits the offense of trespass on property other than a structure or conveyance.

(b) As used in this section, the term "unenclosed curtilage" means the unenclosed land or grounds, and any outbuildings, that are directly and intimately adjacent to and connected with the dwelling and necessary, convenient, and habitually used in connection with that dwelling. (2)(a) Except as provided in this subsection, trespass on property other than a structure or conveyance is a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

(b) If the offender defies an order to leave, personally communicated to the offender by the owner of the premises or by an authorized person, or if the offender willfully opens any door, fence, or gate or does any act that exposes animals, crops, or other property to waste, destruction, or freedom; unlawfully dumps litter on property; or trespasses on property other than a structure or conveyance, the offender commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

Full Breakdown

Florida Statute 810.09 (trespass on property other than a structure or conveyance) makes it a misdemeanor for any person to enter or remain on posted property after notice. A No Soliciting sign visible at the primary entrance constitutes notice to commercial solicitors. Apopka Police enforce trespass complaints. Residents may also verbally tell any visitor to leave; refusal to leave is trespass regardless of posting. No-knock registries at the state level do not exist in Florida; property owners self-post. Commercial solicitors violating posted signs face citation and may have permits revoked. Religious and political canvassers retain right to approach but must depart promptly upon verbal request.

Violations & Fines

Ignoring No Soliciting: trespass under FL 810.09, second degree misdemeanor up to 60 days jail and 500 dollar fine. Permit revocation for commercial violators.
