The City of Orange requires solicitors to respect posted no-solicitation signs under OMC Chapter 5.64. Property owners may post signs at least 18x24 inches with 1-inch lettering, or file a written no-solicitation notice with the Police Department.
Except as provided in subdivisions (u), (v), and (x), and Section 602.8, a person who willfully commits a trespass by any of the following acts is guilty of a misdemeanor: ... (o)(1) Refusing or failing to leave land, real property, or structures belonging to, or lawfully occupied by, another and not open to the general public, upon being requested to leave by (1) a peace officer at the request of the owner, the owner's agent, or the person in lawful possession, and upon being informed by the peace officer that they are acting at the request of the owner, the owner's agent, or the person in lawful possession, or (2) the owner, the owner's agent, or the person in lawful possession.
Full Breakdown
Under OMC Chapter 5.64, property owners in Orange can prohibit solicitation by posting a no-solicitation sign at each entrance measuring at least 18 by 24 inches with lettering at least 1 inch in height and not exceeding 6 square feet. Alternatively, property owners may file a written no-solicitation notice with the Police Department, which remains effective until withdrawn in writing. Solicitors are required to respect these posted notices and written notifications. Continuing to solicit at a property with a posted no-solicitation sign constitutes a violation. This protection applies to door-to-door sales, charitable solicitations, and other forms of direct solicitation. Political canvassing and religious proselytizing receive First Amendment protections that may limit enforcement in some circumstances.
Violations & Fines
Soliciting at a property with a posted no-solicitation sign or registered no-solicitation notice may result in citations and fines under OMC Chapter 5.64.
