Fair Lawn maintains a no-knock registry that bars licensed solicitors from approaching listed homes, and posted No Soliciting signs carry the same legal effect under the Borough ordinance.
Fair Lawn residents may add their address to a Borough no-knock registry maintained by the Borough Clerk. Licensed solicitors receive the registry list and are prohibited from approaching listed homes. Additionally, any home displaying a clearly visible No Soliciting or No Knock sign at the entrance is protected the same way. Violations are reported to the Police Department, which may revoke the solicitor's permit. The rule does not apply to invited visits, deliveries, or constitutionally protected non-commercial canvassing, though courteous compliance is encouraged.
Solicitors who ignore the registry or posted signs face fines up to $1,250, permit revocation, and potential trespass charges.
