Residents can stop commercial solicitors by posting a no-soliciting sign or joining a local no-knock list where offered. A permitted solicitor who ignores it faces a citation. Protected canvassers are exempt.
Bay County and its cities enforce no-soliciting protections through local ordinance. A clearly posted no-soliciting sign is binding on commercial solicitors, and some jurisdictions maintain a do-not-knock list residents can join and that permitted solicitors must honor. A registered solicitor who knocks at a posted or listed home, or canvasses outside allowed hours, violates the ordinance. These protections apply to commercial sales only; charitable, religious, and political canvassers keep their constitutional right to approach a home regardless of a sign or registry. Contact the county or city to register or report violations.
A solicitor who ignores a posted no-soliciting sign or a listed address, or knocks outside permitted hours, faces a citation and possible revocation of the local solicitor permit.
