Summary
Unincorporated Kendall County limits door-to-door soliciting to Monday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with no soliciting allowed on Sunday. Residents can also post a No Soliciting card at their door, which registered solicitors must obey and immediately leave if posted.
No soliciting within the unincorporated portions of the County shall be permitted except on Monday through Saturday between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. No soliciting is permitted at any time on Sunday. ... (a)Notice of the determination by the occupant or owner of the refusal of invitation to solicitors, to any premises shall be given in the following manner:(1)A card approximately three (3) inches by four (4) inches in size shall be exhibited upon or near the main entrance door to the premise, indicating such determination by the occupant or owner, substantially containing the applicable words as follows: "No Soliciting" or "No Solicitors."

Full Breakdown
m. Monday through Saturday and at any time on Sunday. Residents who do not want to be approached can post written notice under Section 22-144(a)(1): a card roughly three inches by four inches, displayed at or near the main entrance, reading 'No Soliciting' or 'No Solicitors' in letters at least one-third of an inch tall. Any card substantially containing those words, including 'No Solicitors Invited,' is sufficient notice. Section 22-144(b) requires every solicitor to check for a posted notice before approaching a residence in the unincorporated County, and if the notice reads 'No Solicitors Invited,' the solicitor must immediately and peacefully leave.
Even where no card is posted, or where entry was invited, Section 22-144(c) requires a solicitor to depart immediately and peacefully whenever the occupant or property owner asks them to leave. The County Clerk can revoke a solicitor's registration for violating these notice or hours rules under Section 22-145, and enforcement runs through the same registration and complaint record kept for the solicitor permit.
Violations & Fines
Ignoring a posted 'No Soliciting' card, or working outside the Monday-through-Saturday, 9:00 a.m.-to-7:00 p.m. window (or at all on Sunday), draws a fine of $50 to $500 per offense under Section 22-147, and each separate incident of disregarding a posted notice under Section 22-144 is charged as its own violation. The County Clerk may also revoke the solicitor's registration entirely.
