No Soliciting

If you have ever questioned how to get rid of those annoying door to door sales people or the annoying flyers placed on your door daily you need to get a NO SOLICITING sign free from the city to post on your front door.  If the sales person ignores the sign, contact local authorities.

Specifics on no soliciting: ( the below could be different from city to city)

Door-to-door solicitation is the act of approaching a person or building in order to:

• canvass*
• sell or offer for sale, or attempt to take orders for the sale of goods or services of any kind
• request, directly or indirectly, contributions of funds
• advertise by the hanging of a flyer or handbill to any building or vehicle, regardless of whether a doorbell is rung or any physical or verbal contact is made

Are there any restrictions?
Certain restrictions apply to door-to-door solicitation:

• allowed only between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m.
• no more than one solicitation within any consecutive 14 days at the same location, unless invited back by the resident
• only at main entrance of residence or business

In addition, solicitors must:

• disclose who they are and why they are there
• provide a receipt if purchase or donation is over $5
• leave immediately if asked to do so
• not approach if a "No Solicitors" or “No Trespassers” sign is displayed
• not block traffic of any drive or street
• carry a government-issued photo identification card if the solicitor is 16 years of age or older and is engaged in commercial solicitation

You may not solicit or canvass if you've been convicted of a felony, misdemeanor or ordinance involving force, violence, moral turpitude, deceit, fraud or the violation of any law regarding the act of soliciting. (Moral turpitude is an act or behavior that gravely violates moral sentiment or accepted moral standards of community, such as prostitution, theft or embezzlement.)
