Door-to-door sellers in Indian River County register before canvassing. The county and cities like Vero Beach require a commercial solicitor or peddler to obtain a permit and pass a background check, and to carry identification while working neighborhoods.
Florida leaves commercial door-to-door soliciting to local ordinance. Indian River County and its municipalities 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. Vero Beach, Sebastian, and Fellsmere regulate itinerant merchants and solicitors under their own city codes, and the Indian River County Sheriff's Office handles complaints about unregistered vendors. 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.
