Delray Beach residents may post no-trespassing or no-soliciting signs at property entrances to prohibit commercial solicitation. Under Chapter 118, solicitors must honor posted signs or face permit revocation and trespass charges.
Florida case law and Chapter 118 recognize that clearly posted no-soliciting signs create an immediate trespass barrier for commercial solicitors. Signs should be readable from the public sidewalk or street, at the driveway entrance, or posted near the front door. Non-commercial speech activities (religious outreach, political canvassing, petition gathering) may still be protected under the First Amendment even with posted signs, though courtesy generally prompts compliance. Delray Beach does not operate a formal Do Not Knock registry. Violations of posted signs are reported to Delray Beach Police (non-emergency line) for trespass enforcement.
Knowing violation of posted no-soliciting signs by a permitted solicitor results in permit revocation and criminal trespass (second-degree misdemeanor) with fines up to 500 dollars and up to 60 days jail.
