La Mesa, CA Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

Section 6.28.120, part of Chapter 6.28's Peddlers and Solicitors rules, sits alongside the chapter's licensing scheme in Sections 6.28.010 through 6.28.190 and gives residents and businesses their own enforcement tool: if a property posts a clearly visible sign bearing the words 'No peddlers or solicitors' or similar words of the same purport and effect, a peddler or solicitor who knocks anyway is violating the ordinance regardless of whether that person holds a valid license under Section 6.28.020. The chapter does not set a minimum sign size, wording or placement beyond visibility, leaving property owners free to use a standard commercial no-soliciting placard at the door or gate.

The provision traces to Ordinance 1363, adopted May 14, 1963, the same ordinance that created the chapter's licensing, application, bond and appeal structure, so it has stood alongside the licensing requirement essentially unchanged for six decades. Because Section 6.28.120 sits inside the same chapter as the license and revocation provisions, a solicitor who repeatedly ignores posted signs also risks license revocation under Section 6.28.110 for conduct that constitutes a breach of the peace or a menace to public welfare, on top of being separately cited for violating the no-soliciting sign rule itself.
