Door-to-door permit rules in Tampa
Florida requires a Home Solicitation Sale permit for door-to-door sales over $25, issued by the county clerk — in Tampa, the Hillsborough County Clerk of Court. The City of Tampa also has its own solicitation section in its code (Sec. 14-46).
- State permit (Fla. Stat. 501.022): required for door-to-door sales over $25; permit holders receive a laminated photo ID card, valid one year.
- Hillsborough application: start online, finish in person at a Clerk's office (downtown Tampa, Brandon, or Plant City) with photo ID, Social Security card, two passport photos, and a $100 non-refundable fee.
- Background check: a Sheriff's local record search plus Live Scan fingerprinting.
- New in 2026 (Fla. Stat. 501.062, effective July 1, 2026): commercial solicitation is banned at homes showing a compliant 'No Commercial Solicitation' sign (at least 8.5 x 11 inches, 1-inch letters, statutory wording); repeat violations are misdemeanors.
- Customers can cancel a home solicitation sale until midnight of the third business day.
Permits are issued county by county, so Pinellas County (St. Petersburg, Clearwater) runs its own process, and some cities add local rules.
