Miami Beach, FL Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

City Code Sec. 74-38 gives residents and businesses a direct enforcement tool against unwanted solicitation: posting a clearly visible sign or notice excluding solicitors from the premises. Once posted, a person who solicits contributions or sales in violation of that notice is subject to arrest and to the penalties set out in Sec. 74-37, on top of any other applicable civil or criminal penalties. Sec. 74-37 penalizes violations of the solicitation article generally with a fine up to $500 for a first offense, a fine up to $1,000 plus up to three days in jail for a second offense, and a fine up to $5,000 plus up to 30 days in jail for a third or subsequent offense.

The city manager may also suspend or revoke a solicitor's permit and exclude a violator from soliciting in the city for up to two years. The 'no solicitor' sign provision applies within the broader article covering charitable and other in-person solicitations, defined in Sec. 74-36 to include direct person-to-person requests for contributions on streets, sidewalks, at restaurants or hotels, or door-to-door, and it works alongside, not in place of, any other applicable law under the article's cumulative-provisions clause in Sec. 74-39.
