Apopka honors No Soliciting and No Trespassing signs posted on private property. Commercial solicitors who ignore signs commit trespass under FL 810.09. Religious and political canvassers enjoy First Amendment protection but must leave on request.
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.
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.
