Solicitors in unincorporated Orange County must respect posted no-soliciting signs on residential properties. The county's business licensing ordinance and California Penal Code Section 602 protect residents from unwanted door-to-door solicitation.
Residents of unincorporated Orange County can post no-soliciting signs to deter unwanted door-to-door sales and canvassing. Under California law, a solicitor who ignores a clearly posted no-soliciting sign and continues to solicit may be subject to trespass charges under Penal Code Section 602. The Orange County Sheriff's Department enforces solicitation regulations in unincorporated areas. Licensed solicitors must respect posted signs and leave immediately when asked by a property owner. Religious and political canvassing receive First Amendment protections and are generally exempt from commercial solicitation restrictions, though canvassers must still leave when asked. The county's complaint-driven code enforcement system means residents should report persistent violators to the Sheriff's Department non-emergency line. HOA communities throughout Orange County may have additional no-soliciting rules enforced through CC&Rs.
Ignoring a no-soliciting sign may constitute trespass under California Penal Code Section 602, a misdemeanor. Soliciting without a required county business license is a separate violation enforced by the Sheriff's Department.
