Default Solicitation : anyone else annoyed ?

Again today, [ Polo Ridge] door bell rings at 5:50 pm, dinner time, somebody trying to sell me sliding doors , screens , window washing etc. also afternoons. 3rd. time past several weeks. No solicitation in the Villages. Village Watch do your job . If you see somebody strolling around with a clipboard door to door stop them and send them on there way !

Cannot stop solicitation in the majority of the Villages. Can ask to see the solicitors’ permit and offer to turn them on if they don’t provide it. Can tell them to leave your property. Can ignore the doorbell.

If you live on a public street, then soliciting is allowed as long as they have a solicitor permit. Religious organizations, census taking, and political canvassing are exempt from that law because according to Supreme Court rulings, none of the three are soliciting.

I guess they hit the red button to get in the community?

I have a "No Solicitors" sign language in a prominent position on our front door but it only works once in a while.
