Honolulu County regulates door-to-door soliciting under ROH Section 13-6.2 but maintains no dedicated do-not-knock registry, relying on peddler licensing and state trespass law instead.
ROH Section 13-6.2 sets the regulatory framework for peddling activity in the City and County of Honolulu, including where and when peddlers may operate. Unlike some mainland cities, the Revised Ordinances of Honolulu do not include a dedicated 'no-knock' or do-not-solicit registry. Instead, residential door-to-door solicitation is governed primarily by the peddler's license regime in ROH Chapter 13, Article 6 together with Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 708-814 on simple trespass. Property owners who post clear 'No Soliciting' or 'No Trespassing' signage can invoke state trespass law against persistent solicitors. Time-of-day and location restrictions apply, and licenses can be revoked for complaints.
Violating ROH 13-6.2 or ignoring posted no-soliciting signage can lead to license revocation, misdemeanor citations, and simple trespass charges under HRS 708-814 with fines and potential jail time for repeat offenders.
