Summary
In unincorporated Nassau County, ringing a doorbell or knocking to solicit is unlawful before 9:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m. on any weekday, and banned entirely on Sundays and state or national holidays. It's also unlawful at any time at a home or subdivision entrance posted with a visible 'No Solicitors' or 'No Solicitation' notice, whether or not the solicitor holds a permit.
(5)It is hereby declared to be unlawful for any person whether permitted or registered or not to go upon any premises and ring the doorbell upon or near any door of a residence located thereon, or rap or knock upon any door or create any sound in any other manner calculated to attract the attention of the occupant of such residence, for the purpose of securing an audience with the occupant thereof and engage in, or attempt to engage in, soliciting as herein defined, prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m. of any weekday, or at any time on a Sunday or on a state or national holiday.(6)It is hereby declared to be unlawful for any person whether permitted or registered or not, to go upon any premises ... and engage in, or attempt to engage in, soliciting as herein defined if:a.A residence located on a private road or a public road, street or highway where a notice of the determination to refuse invitation to solicitors is given by displaying a clearly legible notice exhibited near the entrance of the home which displays something similar to the following: "No Solicitors" or "No Solicitation."
Full Breakdown
on any weekday, or at any time on a Sunday or a state or national holiday. Section 18½-79(b)(6) layers on a second, independent bar tied to posted notice rather than the clock: it's unlawful, at any hour, to approach a residence for soliciting if that residence sits on a private or public road where a clearly legible 'No Solicitors' or 'No Solicitation' sign is posted near the home's entrance, or if the residence is inside a subdivision where such a notice is posted at the community's entrance, which the code treats as sufficient notice for every residence inside.
Both rules apply regardless of whether the person holds a valid home solicitation sale permit issued under § 18½-78, meaning a permit never overrides a posted no-solicitation notice or the curfew window. The article defines 'canvasser or solicitor' broadly in § 18½-77 to include anyone going house to house taking orders for goods, wares, merchandise or future services, whether on foot, by vehicle, or by any other means of travel through the unincorporated county.
Violations & Fines
Soliciting door-to-door outside the 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. weekday window, on a Sunday or holiday, or at a home or subdivision posted with a 'No Solicitors' notice, violates § 18½-79(b) and is punishable under § 18½-80 by up to 60 days in the county detention facility and/or a $500.00 fine.
