Mission Viejo does not operate a formal no-knock registry. Residents can post 'No Soliciting' signs which solicitors are legally required to respect under the municipal code. Most Mission Viejo HOA communities have their own solicitation policies and gated entry that limits unwanted visitors.
Mission Viejo does not maintain a centralized no-knock or no-soliciting registry. Instead, residents may post 'No Soliciting' signs at their property entrance, which solicitors are legally required to obey under the municipal code. Ignoring a posted sign constitutes a violation. Most Mission Viejo neighborhoods are HOA-managed communities, many with private gates that restrict solicitor access. HOA boards may establish their own solicitation policies and can prohibit solicitors from entering community common areas. Residents who experience persistent unwanted solicitation should contact OC Sheriff non-emergency at (949) 770-6011. Aggressive solicitors or those who refuse to leave constitute trespassing and can be reported to law enforcement immediately. California Penal Code 602 covers criminal trespass. The city recommends using clearly visible, weather-resistant 'No Soliciting' signs at front doors or community entrances. Contact Code Enforcement at (949) 470-3054 for solicitation complaints.
Solicitors who ignore 'No Soliciting' signs face municipal code violations and administrative citations. Refusing to leave after being asked constitutes trespassing under California Penal Code 602, a misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine. HOAs may impose separate fines on solicitors who enter without authorization.
