Seminole residents may post no-solicitation signs at their property, and registered solicitors must honor them. Violations are enforced as trespass under Florida law and city Chapter 6 business regulations.
The City of Seminole's Chapter 6 business regulations prohibit any solicitor or peddler from approaching or knocking at a residence that displays a clearly visible no-solicitation, no-trespassing, or similar notice. Signs must be readable from the right-of-way and posted near the front entrance, gate, or driveway. Violations may be cited under city ordinance and prosecuted as trespass under Florida Statute 810.09. Residents are encouraged to keep doorbell or video records of repeated visits. Registered commercial canvassers receive specific instruction from the city to maintain a do-not-knock list. The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office handles in-progress complaints.
Solicitors who ignore posted signs face citations, permit revocation, and potential criminal trespass charges. Repeat offenders may be barred from soliciting citywide.
