Fullerton, CA Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

30 regulates distribution of handbills and other papers, and gives property owners, occupants and residents two distinct tools to stop unwanted door-to-door literature. 030's ban on distributing to unwilling recipients can be given either by posting the property near the front door or main entrance with a sign at least 12 square inches stating, in effect, 'No Handbills,' 'No Solicitors' or similar words, or by direct written communication to the distributor. 034 creates a separate, city-run mechanism: any owner, manager or occupant of a residential building may file a sworn affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury with the City Clerk refusing consent to have handbills, circulars, dodgers or similar free papers left at the property, on doorsteps, in entryways, on stairs or at unit doors.

the day after filing. It can be revoked at any time, also free, by a signed written statement or sworn declaration that the filer is no longer an owner, manager or occupant. A refusal filed by a multi-unit building's owner or manager does not reach individual unit doors, while a refusal filed by a unit's own occupant covers only that unit. 034 bars anyone from leaving covered material at a listed address unless that person examined all refusals filed with the City Clerk within the preceding 24 hours, so distributors bear an affirmative duty to check the registry on a rolling basis.
