Property owners can post notices on their premises restricting solicitors and peddlers. Since 2013 (Ord. 2013-713), neighborhoods can also post notices at their entrances restricting solicitation for the entire neighborhood when supported by 60% of property owners.

Full Breakdown
Jacksonville's no-knock registry provides residents with a formal mechanism to opt out of commercial door-to-door solicitation. Residents register their address (typically online or at city hall) and their property is added to the no-knock list. Licensed solicitors must obtain and check the current registry before canvassing and must not contact registered addresses. "No Soliciting" signs posted at a property are independently enforceable: solicitors who ignore posted signs face citations regardless of registry status. The registry covers commercial solicitation only; First Amendment-protected activities (religious, political, nonprofit) may continue at registered addresses but must respect posted signs. The registry is updated periodically and solicitors must maintain current lists.
Violations & Fines
Soliciting at a registered no-knock address: $100–$250 fine per occurrence. Ignoring "No Soliciting" signs: $50–$100 fine. Repeat violations: permit revocation.
