A licensed commercial solicitor who approaches a home displaying a clear no-soliciting notice, or who continues after being asked to leave, commits a violation and can be cited. Enforcement runs through the police and city licensing office, which also issue the underlying permits. The protection reaches commercial sellers; religious, political, and charitable canvassers keep their constitutional right to knock whatever a sign says, though many honor it by custom. A sign applies to the individual home where it is posted.
