Moorpark's solicitor regulations protect residents from unwanted door-to-door solicitation. While the city does not maintain a formal no-knock registry, the solicitor permit requirements and prohibited conduct rules provide protection. Solicitors who ignore posted no-solicitation signs or harass residents may be cited.
Moorpark does not maintain a formal no-knock or no-solicitation registry like some other cities. However, the solicitor permit requirements under Chapter 5.64 provide resident protections. All solicitors must have a valid permit, which means unlicensed solicitors can be reported to law enforcement. The prohibited conduct provisions prevent solicitors from obstructing pedestrians, approaching captive audiences, or soliciting vehicle occupants. Residents may post no-solicitation signs on their property, and persistent solicitors who ignore such signs may face harassment charges. The Ventura County Sheriff's Department responds to reports of aggressive or unlicensed solicitors. Residents should ask to see the solicitor's city permit before engaging. Religious and political canvassing is generally protected First Amendment activity and may not be restricted to the same degree as commercial solicitation.
Unlicensed solicitors should be reported to the Ventura County Sheriff at (805) 532-2700. Aggressive or persistent solicitation that ignores posted signs may constitute harassment. Contact Code Compliance at (805) 517-6232 to verify if a solicitor has a valid permit.
