A no-soliciting sign carries legal weight in St. Johns 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 city police.
St. Johns County and its cities 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. Deputies enforce the rule in the unincorporated county, and St. Augustine 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.
