Door-to-door sellers in Hernando County register before canvassing. The county and the City of Brooksville require a commercial solicitor or peddler to obtain a permit and pass a background check through the Sheriff's Office or city, and to carry identification while working neighborhoods.
Florida leaves commercial door-to-door soliciting to local ordinance. Hernando County and the City of Brooksville require a person selling or taking orders house to house to register as a solicitor or peddler, submit identifying information, and clear a background check before canvassing. The Hernando County Sheriff's Office handles complaints about unregistered vendors in Spring Hill, Weeki Wachee, and the rest of the unincorporated county. Charitable, religious, and political canvassers are treated differently and generally cannot be barred, since their door-to-door activity is constitutionally protected, but a commercial seller must hold the local permit and show it on request.
Selling door to door without the required registration lets deputies or city police order the solicitor to stop, issue a citation under the local ordinance, and refuse future permits.
