Door-to-door solicitors in North Port must obtain a Solicitors Permit from the City. The application form requires identifying information, business credentials, and a background check; permits are issued by the City Clerk / Police Department.
Religious and political solicitation are constitutionally protected and exempt from permit requirements in most cases. Commercial solicitation, magazine sales, and home repair canvassing fall under the permit requirement. Residents can post 'No Soliciting' signs - violation by a permitted commercial solicitor is a citation matter. The Solicitors Permit Application form (PDF) is available from the City.
Soliciting without a required permit is a code violation, and refusing to leave a 'No Soliciting' property can support trespass charges under F.S. §810.09.
