It is unlawful for any peddler, or any person pretending to be a peddler, for the purpose of peddling or soliciting, or to pretending to peddle or solicit, to ring the bell or knock at or on any building or entrance thereto whereon there is painted, affixed, or otherwise displayed to the public view any visible sign containing any or all of the words “NO PEDDLERS PERMITTED,” “NO SOLICITORS PERMITTED,” “NO AGENTS PERMITTED,” or words which otherwise propose to prohibit or indicate objection of occupant to peddling or soliciting on the premises, or to attempt to gain admittance thereto.

Full Breakdown
Indio's peddler-and-solicitor curfew and posted-sign rule sit in Municipal Code Chapter 117, Subchapter 3 (Commercial). Anyone selling goods or soliciting funds door-to-door must stay within the 8:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. window, and once a resident posts a visible sign reading "NO PEDDLERS PERMITTED," "NO SOLICITORS PERMITTED," "NO AGENTS PERMITTED," or similar wording, ringing the bell, knocking, or attempting to gain entry there becomes unlawful outright, the sign withdraws the resident's implied consent to be approached. The rule applies citywide, in Riverside County, California, and works alongside the separate commercial peddler/solicitor permit requirement in § 117.30.
Violations & Fines
Knocking at a posted "no soliciting" address, or soliciting outside 8:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m., violates § 117.38; the city can also revoke a Chapter 117 permit for unlawful conduct under § 117.34.
