Summary
Door-to-door business solicitation on private residential property is banned countywide between 7 p.m. and 8 a.m. without the property owner's or resident's consent, under Miami-Dade County Code Section 21-29.1.1.
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation, or other legal entity to engage in any private business, commercial activity, or to undertake to provide any service for compensation, or to advertise or display merchandise, or to transact any business for profit, or to solicit business, on any private residential property between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., without first obtaining the consent of the property owner or of a person residing at the property.

Full Breakdown
Miami-Dade County Code Section 21-29.1.1 bars any person, firm or corporation from soliciting business, advertising, or transacting business for profit on private residential property between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. without first getting the property owner's or a resident's consent. The rule applies across the county, including the 34 municipalities: Miami-Dade enforces it in unincorporated UMSA, cities enforce it within their own limits, and the county can still step in against any municipality that hasn't adopted its own solicitation regulations. Cities can adopt stricter, but not laxer, rules of their own.
Violations & Fines
Violating the residential no-solicitation hours is a misdemeanor punishable under the Code's general penalty: up to a $500 fine, 60 days in jail, or both, plus possible Chapter 8CC civil fines.
