Posting a No Solicitors or No Trespassing sign in Hayward creates legal notice; ignoring it is an infraction and can support a trespass citation.
Hayward Municipal Code makes it unlawful for a solicitor or peddler to enter a property, knock, ring the bell, or otherwise disturb occupants when the premises display a conspicuous No Solicitors, No Peddlers, No Trespassing, or similar sign near the entrance. A sign posted at the walkway or on the front door is sufficient legal notice. Once a solicitor has been informed, either by sign or verbally, that the occupant does not wish to be contacted, further contact on that visit or on future visits during the permit period is prohibited. Residents may also register their address on a City no-knock or do-not-solicit list where maintained, and solicitors must consult and honor the list. Violations are enforced as infractions by the Hayward Police Department, with escalating fines and potential revocation of the solicitor permit for repeated offenses. Residential property owners should report repeat offenders with description and permit badge number.
