Oakland honors 'No Soliciting' signs posted at residences. Solicitors who ignore signs may be cited for trespassing under California Penal Code §602. The city does not maintain a formal 'Do Not Knock' registry.
Residents can post 'No Soliciting' signs. Ignoring posted signs constitutes trespass under CA Penal Code §602. No formal city registry exists.

Trespass after warning is a misdemeanor under CA law — up to 6 months jail and $1,000 fine. Permit holders may have permits revoked.
