Residents in Murrieta can post no-solicitation signs at their home, and commercial solicitors who ignore such signs commit an infraction under state and local trespass and solicitation laws.
California treats door-to-door commercial solicitation at a home posting a clear no-solicitation or no-trespassing sign as a form of trespass once the occupant has communicated a desire not to be disturbed. A sign at the door stating no solicitors or no trespassing is legally sufficient notice for commercial canvassers; continuing to knock or ring can support a trespass complaint and a code enforcement citation. HOAs in Murrieta often post master no-solicitation signs at community entrances, which apply to the entire tract. Non-commercial speech (political, religious, charitable) is treated differently under First Amendment case law, though individual residents may still ask such canvassers to leave and a refusal to do so becomes a trespass. Consumers who believe they signed an in-home contract under pressure have three business days to cancel under the FTC Cooling-Off Rule and California Civil Code section 1689.6 et seq. Complaints about aggressive or after-hours knocking can be reported to Murrieta police non-emergency.
