Summary
Chino bars permit-holding parade and special-event solicitors from approaching any home posting a 'No Solicitations' or 'Do Not Disturb' sign, under Municipal Code section 10.64.140(C)(1).
No person shall solicit at any dwelling, including but not limited to a house, apartment, or condominium where there is a sign indicating "No Solicitations," "Do Not Disturb," or any other indication that the occupants do not wish to be solicited or in any other way have their privacy disturbed. Complaints arising from violations of this requirement shall support suspension or revocation of the permit upon verification, by the city, of a violation of this provision.

Full Breakdown
Chino Municipal Code section 10.64.140(C)(1), part of Chapter 10.64 governing parades and special events, tells anyone issued a city solicitation permit for such an event not to solicit at a dwelling displaying a 'No Solicitations,' 'Do Not Disturb,' or similar sign indicating the occupant does not want to be approached. The city treats a verified complaint about a violation as grounds to suspend or revoke the solicitor's permit. The rule is scoped to solicitors operating under a parade/special-event permit rather than door-to-door sellers generally; Chino's separate business-license chapter (section 5.04.030) defines 'solicitor' but does not itself carry a no-knock sign requirement.
Violations & Fines
Soliciting at a posted 'No Solicitations' or 'Do Not Disturb' address is a permit violation; a verified complaint can lead to suspension or revocation of the event solicitation permit.
