Albuquerque honors 'No Soliciting' and 'No Trespassing' signs posted on residential properties. Solicitors who ignore posted signs are in violation of both the solicitation ordinance and may face trespassing charges. The city enforces these protections through both the solicitor permit system and general trespassing laws.
Residents may post 'No Soliciting' signs at their property entrance to opt out of commercial solicitation. Solicitors must check for and respect these signs before approaching a residence. Continuing to solicit after being asked to leave or ignoring a no-soliciting sign may constitute criminal trespass under NM law. The city does not maintain a formal 'do not knock' registry. Some neighborhood associations coordinate no-soliciting programs. Posting a sign is the most effective way to prevent unwanted solicitors. The sign should be clearly visible at the property entrance or front door.
Ignoring a 'No Soliciting' sign may result in a citation under the solicitation ordinance. Refusing to leave after being asked constitutes criminal trespass under NM Statutes §30-14-1. Repeated violations may result in revocation of a solicitor's permit and potential criminal charges.
