Summary
Cicero lets any resident block door-to-door peddlers and solicitors by posting a 'No Soliciting' decal at the entrance under Section 66-5, and Section 66-6 separately bars all peddling and soliciting before 9 a.m. or after 9 p.m. on weekdays and at any time on Sundays and holidays.
A weatherproof decal, sticker or card, not less than one inch by four inches in size, shall be exhibited upon or near the main entrance door to the residence or clearly displayed on or near the main entryway, indicating the determination by the occupant, containing the applicable words "No Soliciting." ... It is declared unlawful and a nuisance for any person who has not made a prearranged appointment with the occupant to go upon any premises and ring the doorbell or create any sound in any other manner calculated to attract the attention of the occupant of such residence, for the purpose of engaging in peddling or commercial soliciting, after 9:00 p.m. and prior to 9:00 a.m. of any weekday or at any time on Sunday or on a state or national holiday.

Full Breakdown
' Section 66-5 spells out how a resident exercises that choice: posting a 'weatherproof decal, sticker or card, not less than one inch by four inches in size,' displayed at or near the main entrance, bearing the words 'No Soliciting' in letters at least one-third inch tall. The Town Collector's office supplies decals at cost, though a resident may buy a compliant decal elsewhere and display it instead. Once posted, the decal is legally sufficient notice to every peddler and commercial solicitor. ' The same section separately bars false or fraudulent claims, misrepresenting a right to cancel a sale, blocking vehicular or pedestrian traffic, displaying goods within 100 feet of a street intersection, and failing to display a license or registration on the outer garment while soliciting.
Every peddler or solicitor also consents, by virtue of operating, to inspection of goods and merchandise by the Cicero Police Department. 00, and any license held by the violator is revoked.
Violations & Fines
Section 66-3 fines any Chapter 66 violation, including disregarding a posted 'No Soliciting' decal or knocking outside the 9:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. window, between $100.00 and $750.00 per offense, and revokes the violator's peddler or solicitor license. The Cicero Police Department, under the director of public safety, enforces the chapter.
