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

Unlike some larger California cities (e.g., Elk Grove, Sacramento), Concord has not adopted a formal municipal no-knock or do-not-solicit registry where residents can enroll addresses to legally prohibit all commercial solicitation. Instead, Concord relies on a sign-based enforcement model: a conspicuously posted "No Soliciting" sign at the front entrance or gate provides legal notice, and any commercial solicitor who ignores it violates CMC Chapter 5.50 and may also be committing trespass after demand to leave under California Penal Code §602(o). Signs should be readable from the street or front walkway and clearly state the property owner's prohibition. On the phone side, California residents should register on the federal Do Not Call Registry (donotcall.gov) — enrollment is permanent and free — to reduce telemarketing calls; California also has robust protections under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA, Civ. Code §1798.100 et seq.) and the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Text-message spam may violate the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA, 47 USC §227) with statutory damages of $500–$1,500 per violation. Residents receiving solicitation from the same commercial operator repeatedly can file complaints with the California Department of Consumer Affairs, the Attorney General's Office, or pursue small-claims actions under TCPA.
