Does any one here know the truth? The information out there seems contradictory.

If local law enforcement believes it is not against the law then .....

If hardly a day goes by without someone knocking at the door then contact Community Standards per the FAQ and see what they have to say.

Florida Statute 501.022 says home solicitation requires a permit. This implies to me that door-to-door solicitation is legal as long as the person has the permit. They should show you their permit automatically but you can also ask to see it.
