Residents of unincorporated Riverside County may post a No Solicitation sign at their front door or property entrance to legally bar commercial solicitors under Ordinance 534. California Penal Code 602 and Civil Code 1940.2 further support trespass and harassment enforcement when solicitors ignore posted notices.
Posted signage such as No Solicitors, No Trespassing, or Do Not Knock must be conspicuously displayed at the main entrance or driveway. A commercial solicitor who approaches and attempts to pitch after the sign is visible has violated Ord. 534 and may be cited for misdemeanor trespass under Penal Code 602. Landlords and tenants have additional protection under Civil Code 1940.2, which forbids using fraud, intimidation, or threats to induce a resident to engage in any act. Political and religious canvassers retain constitutional protection but must also leave promptly on request; refusal to leave converts the conduct to trespass. Neighborhoods with gated HOA entrances can post universal No Solicitation at the gate and the Sheriff treats entry past such a sign by commercial solicitors as trespass. To report, residents can call the Sheriff's non-emergency line with a description and direction of travel; for aggressive conduct, call 911. Keep photographic evidence of the posted sign and any solicitor identification for enforcement.
