Summary
Oklahoma City lets homeowners opt out of door-to-door sales entirely: posting a "No Peddlers," "No Trespassers," or "No Trespassing" sign under Municipal Code Section 39-19 turns any peddler's entry or sales attempt into trespass. Even without a sign, peddlers may only work residential districts between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. under Section 39-18, unless the resident arranged a different time in advance.
No peddler shall enter any premises or attempt to sell, peddle or solicit where the owner or occupant of such premises has indicated his/her desire not to be contacted for sales or solicitations by the placing of a "No Peddlers" "No Trespassers," or "No Trespassing" sign on those premises, and any such entrance or attempt to sell or peddle shall constitute a trespass upon private property.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 5 Update 1).
Full Breakdown
" The sign does the legal work: once posted, a peddler who knocks anyway is committing trespass, not merely a licensing violation. " Both rules apply to peddlers as defined in Section 39-16, people traveling house to house selling goods or services, and exclude licensed mobile food vendors under Chapter 21. Charitable solicitors holding a valid permit under Article II of Chapter 13 are exempt from the entire peddler article, including the posted-sign and hours rules, under Section 39-20.
Violations & Fines
Violating the posted-sign rule or the 9:00 p.m.-to-9:00 a.m. curfew is a Class "b" offense under Section 39-21, punishable by a fine of up to $750.00 plus costs, and every act of peddling in violation is a separate offense. Entering posted property despite a "No Peddlers" sign is also a trespass under Section 39-19, independent of any licensing penalty.
