Summary
Hollywood lets any resident or business post a No Solicitation sign at the entrance to a property, and City Code Section 122.32 makes an uninvited door-to-door solicitor's continued visit unlawful once that sign is up.
Any person in possession or in charge of any premises within the city who desires to remain undisturbed by the visit of uninvited solicitors may post or place in a conspicuous place near or at the entrance of the premises a sign containing the words "No Solicitation" or a substantially similar message in letters easily read by a person approaching the premises.
Full Breakdown
32 gives anyone in possession or in charge of premises in the city the right to post or place a sign reading No Solicitation, or a substantially similar message, in a conspicuous spot near or at the entrance so it is easily read by a person approaching. 24, which bars uninvited solicitors, peddlers, vendors, itinerant merchants and other door-to-door canvassers or hawkers from continuing to approach a residence displaying such a sign. 33, which requires them to make books, records and papers pertaining to the registered solicitation available for inspection by a city agent on request, both while the permit is in effect and after it expires, at the request of the Director of Licensing.
The no-solicitation posting rule traces to the 1972 Code and was carried forward by Ordinance O-84-3, passed January 4, 1984, and sits within the broader charitable-solicitation and peddler licensing framework of Chapter 122 that requires most door-to-door sellers and canvassers to first obtain a permit from the Director of Licensing.
Violations & Fines
Violating the solicitation provisions of Chapter 122, including ignoring a posted No Solicitation sign or refusing a records inspection under Section 122.33, is punishable under the chapter's general penalty at Section 122.99: a fine not exceeding $500, imprisonment not exceeding 60 days, or both, for each separate violation.
