Lodi recognizes residents' right to refuse solicitation by posting a 'No Soliciting' sign at the residence. Under LMC Title 5 and the U.S. Supreme Court framework (Watchtower v. Stratton), a posted sign withdraws the implied invitation for commercial solicitors to approach the door.
Lodi residents who do not wish to be solicited may post a clear 'No Soliciting' sign at the front door or property entry. Under LMC Title 5 solicitor regulations, commercial solicitors and peddlers may not contact a residence that has posted such a sign. Violation is a citable offense. Religious and political canvassing has stronger First Amendment protection but may still be limited by clearly posted no-solicitation signs and by general daytime-hours rules. Residents experiencing harassment by repeated solicitors should call Lodi Police (non-emergency) at (209) 333-6727.
Soliciting at a residence with a posted no-soliciting sign is a violation of LMC Title 5 enforceable by Lodi Police, typically as an infraction with administrative citation. Aggressive or repeated solicitation can rise to misdemeanor trespass.
