Posted No Soliciting or No Trespassing signs are legally binding in West Palm Beach. Solicitors who ignore them face citation and trespass charges under FL §810.09.
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.
First offense at posted property: $100 civil citation. Refusal to leave: misdemeanor trespass arrest. Repeat: permit revocation.
