Lakewood residents can opt out of commercial solicitation by posting a No Solicitation sign. Solicitors who knock anyway commit a minor misdemeanor under Codified Ordinance Chapter 729.
Lakewood CO 729 makes it a violation for commercial solicitors to enter property or knock at a door where a clear No Solicitation sign is posted at the entry or front door. The rule applies to peddlers, canvassers, and commercial promoters. First Amendment-protected speech (political, religious, charitable) is generally exempt, though respect of posted signs is customary. Residents may also revoke consent verbally, after which further solicitation is trespassing.
Ignoring No Solicitation signs: minor misdemeanor, fine up to 150 dollars. Continued contact after verbal refusal: criminal trespass charge.
