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

Posting a clearly visible 'No Soliciting,' 'No Trespassing,' or 'No Knock' sign at the entrance to a Corona residence creates a legally enforceable barrier against commercial door-to-door solicitation under Municipal Code provisions and California trespass law (Penal Code Section 602). Commercial solicitors who knock at posted residences are committing a violation and may be cited by Code Enforcement or arrested for trespassing if they refuse to leave when asked. Signs must be clearly visible from the entry approach (typically near the front door, gate, or driveway entrance) and use clear language. Religious and political canvassers retain First Amendment protection to ring doorbells and leave literature at most homes (Watchtower v. Stratton, 2002), but residents may still ask them to leave; refusal becomes trespass. California Civil Code Section 1940.2 specifically prohibits landlords from using harassment, including unauthorized entries or threats, against tenants. Residents can also place themselves on the National Do Not Call Registry to reduce telemarketing (a separate but related protection). Aggressive solicitation, including continued knocking after being told to leave, threatening behavior, or solicitation outside permitted hours (9 AM to 7 PM/sunset), constitutes additional violations. Report aggressive solicitors to Corona Police non-emergency: (951) 736-2330. Some communities maintain HOA-level no-soliciting provisions for entire neighborhoods enforceable against vendors.
