Kansas City recognizes 'No Soliciting' and 'No Trespassing' signs as enforceable indicators that solicitors are not welcome. Solicitors who ignore these signs may be cited for trespassing. The city's solicitation ordinance requires permitted solicitors to respect posted signage.
Property owners may post 'No Soliciting' signs at their residence to indicate that door-to-door sales are not welcome. Under the city's solicitation regulations, licensed solicitors must respect these signs. Continuing to knock or ring doorbells at properties with posted 'No Soliciting' signs constitutes a violation. 'No Trespassing' signs provide additional legal protection under Missouri trespass law. The city does not operate a formal do-not-knock registry, but the posted signage system provides the primary enforcement mechanism. Residents who experience persistent solicitation despite posted signs should contact the police non-emergency line.
Solicitors who ignore 'No Soliciting' signs may be cited for violating the solicitation ordinance and potentially for trespassing under Missouri law. Repeated offenses can result in increased fines and revocation of solicitor permits. Aggressive or intimidating solicitation may result in criminal charges.
