Summary
Sec. 53-10(a)(2)-(3) bars solicitors from any residence on the city's annually renewed nonsolicitation list or from a home that posts a 'NO SOLICITORS' sign with letters at least two-thirds of an inch high on a card at least three by four inches. Sec. 53-11(a) separately bans residential solicitation between sunset and 9:00 a.m. and outright on Sundays and six named holidays.
(a)It shall be unlawful for any person to peddle, solicit, hawk, sell or take orders for or offer to take orders for any item or service in the following places in the city: ... (2)Any residence the address of which appears on the nonsolicitation list maintained by the city for residents who request in writing that their address be excluded from solicitation activities for that calendar year. Nonsolicitation lists are valid for January 1 through December 31 each calendar year. It is the responsibility of the resident, occupant, tenant, or homeowner to renew his request each year to keep it on the list; (3)Any residence that exhibits or displays in a conspicuous place, upon or near the main entrance to the residence, a sign or posting that contains the words "NO SOLICITORS." The letters shall be not less than two-thirds of an inch in height and should be displayed on a weatherproof card not less than three inches by four inches in size.
Full Breakdown
The nonsolicitation list under Sec. 53-10(a)(2) is maintained by the city for residents who ask in writing to be excluded from solicitation for that calendar year; it runs January 1 through December 31 and the resident must renew the request every year to stay on it. Sec. 53-10(a)(3) gives residents a second, self-help option: displaying a 'NO SOLICITORS' sign or posting in a conspicuous place at or near the main entrance, with letters not less than two-thirds of an inch high on a weatherproof card at least three inches by four inches.
Sec. 53-10(d)(5) makes it a separate offense to remove, deface, or render illegible such a posted card. Beyond specific addresses, Sec. 53-10(a)(1) bars soliciting on any city-owned or leased property, public street, alley, or traffic island, and Sec. 53-10(a)(4) adds a 25-foot buffer around ATMs, bank and credit union entrances, exterior pay phones, self-service car washes and fuel pumps, and public transit stops. Sec. m. Monday through Saturday, and none at all on Sundays, New Year's Day, the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, or Christmas Day, unless the resident specifically asked for the visit.
Sec. 53-10(f) also ties handbill littering under the Health and Safety Code to this chapter, treating the address named on a dropped notice as evidence of who committed the violation.
Violations & Fines
A solicitor who knocks on a nonsolicitation-list address, ignores a posted 'NO SOLICITORS' sign, or solicits during the barred hours or holidays commits a misdemeanor under Sec. 53-13, punishable by a fine of up to $500.00 or up to $2,000.00 for a Health and Safety Code violation such as handbill littering, with each continuing day counted as a separate offense.
