Dunedin's solicitor ordinance under Chapter 62 prohibits soliciting at any residence displaying a No Solicitation sign and restricts canvassing to reasonable daytime hours. Violations can lead to citation, permit revocation, and trespass enforcement by police.
Under Chapter 62 of the Dunedin Code, permitted solicitors and peddlers must respect posted No Solicitation or No Trespassing signs at residences. Knocking or ringing the bell at homes that have visibly posted such signs is prohibited and can constitute trespass. Soliciting hours are limited to reasonable daytime windows, typically not before 9 a.m. or after sunset or 8 p.m., depending on the ordinance period. Aggressive or deceptive practices, including refusing to leave when asked, are prohibited. Repeated violations can result in permit revocation, fines, and arrest for trespass. Florida Statute 501.022 also governs home solicitation sales contract rules statewide.
Ignoring No Solicitation signs or soliciting outside permitted hours can result in trespass charges, fines, immediate permit revocation, and removal from the city's permit list.
