Door-to-door commercial solicitors in Pinellas Park must obtain a Pinellas County peddlers and solicitors permit under County Code Chapter 42 Article V, plus a city Business Tax Receipt for commercial activity.
Pinellas Park is part of Pinellas County's countywide peddler and solicitor permitting framework. Pinellas County Code of Ordinances Chapter 42 Article V (Peddlers and Solicitors) requires individuals engaged in door-to-door commercial sales, peddling, or canvassing to obtain a permit, including a background check, application fee, and identification badge worn during solicitation. Additionally, Pinellas Park requires a local Business Tax Receipt (BTR) for commercial activity within city limits. Religious, political, and charitable canvassing is generally exempt from the permit requirement under First Amendment protections, though Florida Statute 501.022 also requires a state home solicitation permit from the clerk of court for sales over $25.
Soliciting without the required permit is a misdemeanor and can result in citations, fines, and refusal of further activity by Pinellas Park Police.
