Summary
Jupiter bars any permitted solicitor from entering a property posted with a 'No Soliciting' sign or from staying after being told to leave. Door-to-door sales and solicitation are also barred on Sundays and outside 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on other days, unless the resident invites otherwise.
It shall be unlawful for any person holding a permit under this article to go on the private residence of any person within the town which has been posted by a sign at or near the front entrance reading "No Soliciting," or words of similar import, or to remain upon the premises of any private residence within the town after having been requested to leave by the occupant. ... No person holding a permit under the provisions of this article shall engage in any solicitation or sales activity on Sundays nor at times other than between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. during the remainder of the week, unless by appointment or invitation of the owner or occupant of the premises visited, or unless specific authorization to the contrary is first obtained from the chief of police, with the consent of the town manager, upon the showing of reasonable cause and necessity therefor.
Full Breakdown
Section 7-83 of the Town Code makes it unlawful for anyone holding a peddler, solicitor or itinerant merchant permit under article IV to go onto a private residence that has posted a sign at or near its front entrance reading 'No Soliciting' or similar wording, and it is equally unlawful to remain on any private residence's premises after the occupant asks the permit holder to leave. The rule only restrains permit holders themselves; it does not create a separate town registry of no-solicitation addresses, so the posted sign at the property is the operative notice.
m. Both restrictions bend for a resident's own invitation, meaning a homeowner or occupant can invite or make an appointment with a solicitor outside those hours or despite a posted sign, since the posted sign and the time window exist to protect the resident, not to bind them. The chief of police, with the town manager's consent, can also authorize an exception to the hours restriction on a showing of reasonable cause and necessity. Both rules apply only to permit holders operating under article IV; a person going door to door without any permit at all is separately unlawful under section 7-78's permit requirement.
Violations & Fines
Ignoring a posted 'No Soliciting' sign, refusing to leave when asked, or soliciting outside the 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. window or on a Sunday violates sections 7-83 and 7-84 and can result in permit revocation as well as the town's general code enforcement penalties under chapter 8 and section 1-14.
