Full Breakdown
Under § 5.68.090, it is unlawful for any peddler or solicitor, licensed or not, to enter a residential property once the owner or occupant has posted a sign at the entry reading 'No Peddlers,' 'No Solicitors,' 'No Solicitation,' or similar wording. Section 5.68.100 separately bans all peddling or soliciting activity, including knocking on doors, between six p.m. and nine a.m. citywide, regardless of whether the solicitor holds a permit. Both rules apply even to peddlers who are otherwise exempt from the permit itself under the under-$15 exemption.
Violations & Fines
Entering a posted 'No Solicitors' property or knocking on doors between 6 p.m. and 9 a.m. is unlawful and can support a citation and permit revocation, independent of whether a permit was ever issued.
