Glenn County, CA Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

04 of the Glenn County Code, adopted by Ordinance 354 in 1957 and amended by Ordinance 716 in 1979, governs peddlers, solicitors, and itinerant vendors in the unincorporated area. 010 defines a covered "person" broadly to include any corporation, association, partnership or individual carrying on solicitation, peddling or hawking within the county. 020 makes it unlawful for any solicitor, peddler, hawker, itinerant merchant or transit vendor to go in or upon private property occupied for residential purposes unless the owner or occupant has requested or invited the visit for the purpose of soliciting orders, sales, or services.

The rule functions as a default no-knock standard: a resident does not need to post a sign or register anywhere, because uninvited solicitation of a private residence is already illegal countywide. 030 carves out two exceptions: farmers, orchardists, poultrymen, or horticulturists selling exclusively their own produce grown and raised by them, and any person distributing religious literature free of charge or on a nonprofit basis. Those categories may approach homes without an invitation. 020 already declares.
