Mesa enforces No Solicitation sign protections under its peddler and solicitor ordinance (Title 5, Chapter 8). Solicitors must honor posted No Solicitation or No Trespassing signs on residential properties. Continuing to knock or ring the bell after seeing such a sign constitutes a violation. Residents can report violators to Mesa Police, and repeat offenders may have their solicitor permits revoked.
Mesa offers a no-knock or no-soliciting registry allowing residents to opt out of door-to-door sales visits. Registered addresses are added to a list provided to all permitted solicitors. Solicitors who knowingly visit a registered address or ignore a posted no-soliciting sign face citations. Residents can register online, by phone, or at city hall. The registry does not apply to political, religious, or nonprofit canvassers, which are protected speech.
Ignoring no-soliciting sign: $50 to $250. Visiting registered address: $100 to $500. Repeated violations may result in permit revocation.
