Summary
Floyd County keeps a no-knock list of residents who do not want door-to-door solicitors, maintained by the Board of Commissioners under Floyd County Code § 110.03. Soliciting a listed address, or one displaying a no-soliciting sign, is a separate violation under § 110.05(B) that carries its own fine and lets the resident sue for civil damages.
COUNTY NO-KNOCK LIST. ... The list of names and addresses of residents of the county who have indicated that they do not wish to receive solicitors. ... NO-SOLICITING SIGN. A sign placed on or near a resident’s door facing the street that indicates that solicitors are unwanted. ... (A) Any resident of the county may add his or her name and address to the county no-knock list by providing this information to the Board of Commissioners. The purpose of the no-knock list is to inform solicitors that they do not wish to be called upon. (B) This information will be collected by the Board of Commissioners and made available to solicitors in a readable, tabular form, indexed by the names of the resident and by the names of the streets. ... (B) Also subject to the penalty provided in § 110.99, any person who solicits for a commercial purpose at an address that: (1) Is on the county no-knock list; or (2) Displays a no-soliciting sign.
Full Breakdown
03(A); the stated purpose is telling solicitors which residents do not want to be called upon. 02(E) makes sure every licensed solicitor is issued a current copy of the list, along with a copy of the subchapter, when their license is granted. 01 as a sign placed on or near the door facing the street indicating solicitors are unwanted. 99, independent of any license violation. 99(B)(2) gives the resident a private right of action: they may recover $1,000 per incident in civil damages, jointly and severally, from the solicitor, the solicitor's employer, and any organization the solicitor was representing, plus any further proven damages, court costs, and a reasonable attorney's fee.
06(B) exempts solicitation for a non-commercial purpose, including charitable, religious, educational, and political canvassing, from the entire subchapter, so the no-knock list and sign protections apply only to commercial solicitors.
Violations & Fines
Soliciting a no-knock-listed address or one displaying a no-soliciting sign violates Floyd County Code § 110.05(B), subject to the § 110.99(B)(1)(a) fine schedule of up to $100, $250, or $500 for repeat offenses.
