Full Breakdown
City Code §26 and FL §810.09 (trespass after warning) make a clearly posted No Soliciting or No Trespassing sign a legal warning. Commercial solicitors who knock or ring at posted properties are subject to immediate citation and may be charged with trespass after warning, a second-degree misdemeanor (up to 60 days jail). The city does not maintain a centralized do-not-knock registry; signs at the property serve that function. Religious and political canvassers are still subject to trespass law if they ignore posted signs.
Violations & Fines
First offense at posted property: $100 civil citation. Refusal to leave: misdemeanor trespass arrest. Repeat: permit revocation.
