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.
Correct. I have read the law, but it doesn't say anything about enforcement or penalties. So, I doubt that law enforcement will do anything if you call them. In my opinion, the best way to prevent soliciting is to place a "No Soliciting" sign on the front door.
