A no-soliciting sign carries legal weight in Hernando County. A registered solicitor who ignores a clearly posted no-soliciting notice, or canvasses outside permitted hours, violates the local peddler ordinance and can be cited by the Sheriff's Office or Brooksville police.
Hernando County and the City of Brooksville back a resident's posted no-soliciting sign through the local solicitation ordinance. A commercial solicitor who approaches a home displaying a clear no-soliciting notice, or who knocks outside the hours the ordinance allows, commits a violation. Sheriff's deputies enforce the rule in unincorporated areas like Spring Hill and Weeki Wachee, and Brooksville police enforce the city version. The protection reaches commercial sellers only; charitable, religious, and political canvassers keep their constitutional right to knock regardless of a posted sign, though many honor it by custom.
A solicitor who knocks at a posted no-soliciting home, or canvasses after the permitted hours, faces a citation under the local ordinance and possible revocation of the solicitor permit.
