Summary
Lakewood lets residents post a no-soliciting notice on their property, making it unlawful for peddlers, solicitors or hawkers to enter or solicit sales there without an invitation.
Every resident of the city shall have the right to post a notice or notices upon his property, including but not limited to apartments, condominium units and detached residences, to the effect that peddlers, solicitors and hawkers shall not enter the premises or solicit or attempt to solicit orders or sales from the occupant or occupants thereof. Any person who shall go in or upon any place so posted without previous invitation so to do from the occupant or occupants thereof, for the purpose of soliciting orders for the sale of, or selling, goods, wares, merchandise, services, magazines, contracts, policies of insurance, stocks, bonds, rights, or anything of value, is guilty of an unlawful act.
(Ord. O-82-133 § 1, 1982).

Full Breakdown
Under Municipal Code §5.28.010, every Lakewood resident may post a notice on their property, including apartments, condo units and single-family homes, stating that peddlers, solicitors and hawkers may not enter or solicit orders or sales from occupants. Anyone who enters posted premises without a prior invitation to solicit sales of goods, services, insurance, or anything else of value commits an unlawful act. Chapter 5.28 is a single, narrow section: it creates the posting right and ties enforcement to that posted notice, without separately setting citywide solicitation hours or a general solicitor-registration requirement.
Violations & Fines
Entering a posted property to solicit sales without an invitation is an unlawful act under §5.28.010, enforceable like any other Municipal Code violation subject to the general penalty provisions.
