Cape Coral respects residents' right to post 'No Soliciting' or 'No Trespassing' signs. Solicitors who ignore these signs may be cited for trespassing or violation of the solicitation ordinance.
Residents may post 'No Soliciting' signs at their property entrance to indicate they do not wish to be contacted by door-to-door salespeople. Licensed solicitors are required to observe these signs and skip posted properties. Ignoring a no-soliciting sign is grounds for permit revocation and may constitute trespass. Religious and political canvassers, while exempt from permit requirements, should also respect no-soliciting signs as a matter of courtesy, though enforcement is more limited due to First Amendment protections. The city encourages residents to register complaints about solicitors who ignore posted signs.
Solicitors who ignore 'No Soliciting' signs face citation for violating the solicitation ordinance and potential trespass charges. Continued solicitation at a property after being asked to leave is criminal trespass under Florida law. Repeat violations may result in permit revocation and ban from future permits.
