Showing ordinances that apply to Zephyrhills West, FL
Zephyrhills West is an unincorporated community (population 5,533) in Pasco County, Florida. Because Zephyrhills West is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Pasco County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The no-knock registry rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Pasco County enforces posted 'No Soliciting' and 'No Trespassing' signs. Permitted solicitors who ignore signs face citations under Pasco Code Chapter 58. Residents can also rely on Florida's 'Do Not Call' list (FL §501.059) for phone solicitation.
Pasco County Code Chapter 58 requires permitted commercial solicitors to honor posted 'No Soliciting' or 'No Trespassing' signs at residences. A solicitor who knocks or rings after encountering such a sign is subject to citation and may have their permit revoked. Pasco does not maintain a dedicated county-wide no-knock registry in the form some larger municipalities operate, but signage has the same legal effect under the ordinance. Florida Statute §810.09 (trespass) provides additional teeth — continuing after being warned off may rise to criminal trespass. Religious, political, and nonprofit canvassers are generally protected First Amendment speech and are not bound by 'No Soliciting' signs in the same commercial sense, though they remain subject to trespass law if they refuse to leave after request. Phone solicitation in Pasco falls under FL §501.059 (Florida Do Not Call) and federal TCPA rules, enforced by the Florida DACS Office of Consumer Services.
Ignoring posted sign: $50 to $250. Visiting after warning: $100 to $500 and permit revocation. Criminal trespass possible under FL §810.09. Phone violations: FL DACS enforcement.
