St. Petersburg honors posted no-soliciting and no-trespass signs, and ignoring them can lead to trespass charges under Florida Statute 810.09 and city code enforcement.
St. Petersburg residents who post visible no-soliciting or no-trespass signs at their property entrance establish notice that uninvited commercial solicitation is unwelcome. Solicitors who ignore posted signs may be cited under city ordinance and may also be charged with trespass after warning under Florida Statute 810.09. Florida Statute 501.022 separately requires commercial solicitors to leave immediately if asked. Some St. Petersburg neighborhoods have additional no-knock registries or HOA rules that prohibit door-to-door sales entirely. Religious and political canvassers retain First Amendment protection in many cases but must still respect clear posted notices and leave when asked. Repeated violations should be reported to the St. Petersburg Police non-emergency line.
Trespass after warning is a second-degree misdemeanor under FS 810.09 with fines up to $500 and up to 60 days in jail. City code violations carry additional administrative fines.
