Denver recognizes 'No Soliciting' and 'No Trespassing' signs as enforceable under DRMC trespassing provisions. Solicitors who ignore posted signs or refuse to leave when asked are subject to trespassing charges. Denver does not maintain a citywide no-knock registry but property owners can effectively opt out of solicitation through posted signage.
Property owners may post 'No Soliciting' signs to prohibit commercial door-to-door solicitation. Licensed solicitors who enter property posted with such signs violate their license conditions and may be cited. The 'No Soliciting' sign applies to commercial solicitors but may not legally extend to political canvassers, religious visitors, or government officials (mail carriers, census workers) who have First Amendment or statutory rights to approach doors. Denver does not operate a municipal do-not-knock list. The FTC's National Do Not Call Registry covers telephone solicitation but not door-to-door visits.
Solicitors who ignore 'No Soliciting' signs face license violations and potential trespassing charges under DRMC §38-5. Trespassing is a misdemeanor in Denver. Property owners can call Denver police non-emergency (720-913-2000) to report solicitors who refuse to leave. Persistent solicitation harassment may support a restraining order.
