North Miami residents can post 'No Soliciting' or 'No Trespassing' signs to prohibit door-to-door solicitors. Solicitors who ignore posted signs or refuse to leave when asked are subject to trespassing charges under Florida law. The city enforces these protections through the Police Department.
North Miami residents may post 'No Soliciting' or 'No Trespassing' signs at their property entrance to deter unwanted solicitors. Under the North Miami Code of Ordinances and Florida trespassing law (FL Statute 810.09), solicitors who ignore posted signs and enter the property are subject to trespassing charges. Any solicitor must immediately leave a property when requested by the owner or occupant — failure to do so constitutes trespassing regardless of whether a sign is posted. The city recognizes no-knock registries and posted sign protections. Charitable, religious, and political canvassers generally have First Amendment protections but must still respect 'No Trespassing' signs and requests to leave. Residents experiencing repeated unwanted solicitation should file a complaint with the North Miami Police Department at (305) 891-0294. Persistent violators may face escalated enforcement including arrest for trespassing. Homeowner associations within North Miami may establish additional no-solicitation policies for their communities.
Ignoring a 'No Soliciting' or 'No Trespassing' sign and entering property is trespassing under FL Statute 810.09, a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year in jail and $1,000 fine. Refusing to leave when asked is also trespassing. Repeated violations may result in arrest. Contact NMPD at (305) 891-0294 to report.
