Leon County (which encompasses Tallahassee) enacted a no-solicitation ordinance in February 2024. Property owners who post the required signage citing Sec. 12-82 of the Leon County Code may bar solicitors; violations carry fines up to $500 or jail. Political canvassers are exempt.
Leon County Ordinance Sec. 12-82 (Leon County Code of Laws, Ch. 12, Art. IV), effective February 20, 2024, prohibits solicitation on private property that displays proper no-solicitation signage. "Soliciting" broadly covers requests for money, donations, petition signatures, or any article of value. Solicitors must carry written permission from the property owner and produce it on demand. On a first offense the violator receives a warning; subsequent offenses may result in arrest. City of Tallahassee Code §12-62 separately prohibits soliciting from motor-vehicle occupants on public rights-of-way. Political canvassers are explicitly exempted from Sec. 12-82.
First offense: warning. Subsequent offenses: fine up to $500 and/or jail for soliciting on posted private property. Right-of-way soliciting without permit: fine up to $500 or 60 days imprisonment.
