Corpus Christi residents can post 'No Soliciting' signs to opt out of door-to-door solicitation. Solicitors who ignore posted signs may face enforcement action. The city enforces solicitation rules through the police department. Violations of the solicitor ordinance can result in fines and permit revocation.
Corpus Christi's no-knock registry provides residents with a formal mechanism to opt out of commercial door-to-door solicitation. Residents register their address (typically online or at city hall) and their property is added to the no-knock list. Licensed solicitors must obtain and check the current registry before canvassing and must not contact registered addresses. "No Soliciting" signs posted at a property are independently enforceable — solicitors who ignore posted signs face citations regardless of registry status. The registry covers commercial solicitation only; First Amendment-protected activities (religious, political, nonprofit) may continue at registered addresses but must respect posted signs. The registry is updated periodically and solicitors must maintain current lists.
Soliciting at a registered no-knock address: $100–$250 fine per occurrence. Ignoring "No Soliciting" signs: $50–$100 fine. Repeat violations: permit revocation.
