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

Section 5.25.03 states that notwithstanding the other provisions of the solicitation chapter, it is unlawful for any person to solicit orders for or hawk goods, services, or merchandise, or to conduct charitable or other solicitation, at any house or residence when a sign in clear view has been placed prohibiting such solicitation or peddling. The section closes a loophole by specifying that a sign worded to prohibit only 'solicitation' or only 'peddling' is construed to prohibit both activities, so a resident does not need to post two separate notices covering commercial sales pitches and charitable canvassing. This sign-based rule sits alongside the chapter's other solicitation controls: Section 5.25.02's ban on aggressive door-to-door conduct and Section 5.25.04's ban on solicitation in roadways and street medians, giving residents and police a straightforward, self-enforced tool that does not require proving aggressive conduct, just that a visible sign was posted and ignored.
