Summary
Moreno Valley does not maintain a formal no-knock registry, but posted 'No Solicitors' signs are legally enforceable and ignoring them is a municipal code violation and potentially criminal trespass.
602. Except as provided in subdivisions (u), (v), and (x), and Section 602.8, a person who willfully commits a trespass by any of the following acts is guilty of a misdemeanor: ... (l) Entering lands under cultivation or enclosed by fence, belonging to, or occupied by, another, or entering upon uncultivated or unenclosed lands where signs forbidding trespass are displayed ... (1) Refusing or failing to leave the lands immediately upon being requested by the owner of the land, the owner's agent, or by the person in lawful possession to leave the lands.
Full Breakdown
Unlike some California cities that operate opt-in no-knock registries, Moreno Valley relies on the self-help mechanism of posted signage. A clearly posted 'No Solicitors' or 'No Trespassing' sign at the front entry or on the door places solicitors on notice, and continued solicitation after notice becomes both a municipal violation and a basis for trespass under California Penal Code 602. Residents who receive repeated unwanted visits should note dates, times, descriptions, and any company names, then file complaints with Code Compliance or the Riverside County Sheriff. Robocallers and telemarketers fall under separate federal (TCPA) and state rules administered by the FCC and California Attorney General. The California Do Not Call Registry applies to phone solicitation, not door-to-door. If a solicitor claims a permit, residents can request the permit number and verify it with the Moreno Valley Finance Division during business hours.
