Full Breakdown
170 allows an occupant to give notice of a desire to refuse solicitors simply by displaying a "No Solicitation" sign or placard near the main entrance door, or near the property line adjacent to the sidewalk leading to the residence; posting the sign is legally treated as notice to every solicitor that the occupant does not invite or want solicitors. 180(A) requires every person soliciting or advocating to check each residence for a "No Soliciting" sign or similar notice before making contact, and if one is posted, to desist and immediately depart the property.
Holding a valid registration certificate does not excuse a solicitor from this duty. 170(D) makes the sign rule apply to all solicitors, whether or not they are otherwise required to register under the chapter, so exempt canvassers such as political and religious advocates are bound by it as well. 180 layers on additional conduct duties once a solicitor is at a residence without a posted sign: no deceptive ruse to secure an audience, immediate and peaceful departure if the occupant asks the person to leave, no physical contact without consent, no following someone into a residence, no continued soliciting after the occupant has clearly expressed disinterest, and no obscene language or gestures.
Violations & Fines
It is a specific, separate violation of Chapter 5.25 EMMC for a solicitor to knock, ring the doorbell, or otherwise try to attract the attention of an occupant at a residence bearing a "No Solicitation" sign, and it is also a violation to use ruse or fraudulent concealment to secure an audience with an occupant (EMMC 5.25.180(B), (C)). Any violation of Chapter 5.25 is a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and up to six months in jail under EMMC 5.25.210.
