Knock Knock. Who’s There? Unwanted Solicitors in Fairway Cove

A frequent concern shared by Fairway Cove homeowners is the increasing number of door-to-door solicitors visiting our neighborhood.

While there is a “No Soliciting” sign posted at the front entrance, it’s important to remember that Fairway Cove streets and sidewalks are public and owned by the City of Orlando. Under City of Orlando ordinances, door-to-door solicitation is generally allowed, but there are restrictions, and a posted “No Soliciting” sign can be legally enforced.

If you display a “No Soliciting” sign on your property, solicitors are legally prohibited from entering your property for the purpose of solicitation, even if they have the right to walk the public sidewalks within the neighborhood.

Additionally, individuals going door-to-door to sell, lease, or rent consumer goods or services within Orlando are required to have a permit issued by the City. Certain groups, such as political or religious organizations, are exempt from these requirements.

Our off-duty Orlando Police Department officers who provide extra patrols in Fairway Cove are aware of our community’s desire to discourage door-to-door solicitation whenever possible.

Homeowners can assist in maintaining this boundary:

• If a solicitor comes to your door, you are within your rights to ask them to leave your property and the neighborhood.

• If you encounter concerning or suspicious behavior from solicitors, please report it promptly.
