Naperville, IL Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

Naperville Municipal Code § 3-7-5 lets any occupant restrict peddling and soliciting, or limit the hours during which peddlers and solicitors are invited, by posting that intention at the residence. The code specifies the notice itself: a weatherproof card, approximately three inches by four inches (3" x 4") in size, may be exhibited upon or near the main entrance door to the residence, reading NO SOLICITING OR PEDDLING PERMITTED ON PREMISES. Once posted, that card shall constitute sufficient notice to any peddler/solicitor of the determination by the occupant, and § 3-7-5(3) makes it the duty of every peddler/solicitor upon going onto any premises to first examine whether there is any notice, departing immediately and peacefully if the resident has restricted access.

m. Monday through Saturday, and at any time on a Sunday or on a state or federal holiday. Nonprofit peddlers and solicitors, defined in § 3-7-2 to include religious, charitable, political and membership organizations, and any group the City Clerk deems appropriate, are exempt from the whole chapter under § 3-7-6, so a posted card and the curfew do not legally bind, for example, charity fundraisers or church canvassers, though many still honor posted signs as a courtesy. Naperville Police Department background-checks every commercial peddler and solicitor before issuing an ID badge, which must be worn on the outer layer of clothing at all times while working a neighborhood.
