Residents in Elk Grove can prohibit commercial solicitation at their home by posting a clear No Soliciting or No Trespassing sign. Solicitors who ignore such signs commit criminal trespass under California Penal Code §602.
California Penal Code §602(o) makes it a misdemeanor to refuse to leave private property after being asked, or to enter property marked with No Trespassing signs. Elk Grove enforces this against solicitors who ignore posted No Soliciting signs at residential doorways. Signs should be clearly visible at the entry to the property (front door, porch, gate) and state No Soliciting or No Trespassing. Signs do not apply to government officials, emergency responders, mail carriers, or package delivery. Political canvassers and religious witnesses (Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.) enjoy First Amendment protection and cannot be banned by a No Soliciting sign, though they must leave when asked. The federal Do Not Call Registry separately covers telephone solicitation.
Ignoring posted No Soliciting sign: misdemeanor under CA Penal Code §602, up to $400 fine. Civil remedies for harassment available.
