Pasco County Code Chapter 58 requires door-to-door commercial solicitors to register with the county, undergo a background check, and carry a visible ID badge. Soliciting hours typically end at dusk. Religious and political canvassers are exempt under the First Amendment.
Pasco County Code of Ordinances Chapter 58 (Peddlers and Solicitors) regulates door-to-door commercial solicitation. Commercial solicitors must apply for a solicitor permit with the Pasco County Tax Collector or designated department, submit to a background check (conducted by or coordinated with the Pasco Sheriff's Office), and wear a visible identification badge showing name, company, and permit number when canvassing. Permits are typically valid 30 to 90 days. Soliciting hours are restricted — commonly 9 AM to dusk or 9 PM at latest. Religious, political, and not-for-profit canvassers are exempt under First Amendment protections but may still be required to file a notice. Charitable solicitors may need separate Florida registration with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services under FL §496. Roofing and solar door-knockers — very common in Pasco post-hurricane season — fall under commercial solicitor rules. Homeowners can post 'No Soliciting' signs to trigger additional enforcement.
Soliciting without permit: $100 to $500 citation. Outside lawful hours: $100 to $250. Failure to display badge: $50 to $200. Repeated violations: permit revocation.
