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

Sec. 18-357(e) lets any residence or business opt out of door-to-door peddling by displaying a weatherproof card at least three inches by four inches near the main entrance reading "NO PEDDLERS ALLOWED" or similar wording, with lettering at least one-third inch tall; once posted, no peddler may lawfully approach that address. Sec. 18-357(f) separately requires a peddler to leave any residence immediately once an occupant asks, regardless of whether a sign is posted. Sec. 18-357(i) extends the opt-out to entire subdivisions: the homeowners association, or a majority of the property owners in the subdivision, can file a "No Peddlers Allowed" request form with the city comptroller and post a weatherproof sign at the subdivision's main entrance or entrances reading "NO PEDDLERS ALLOWED IN THIS SUBDIVISION," after which peddling anywhere in the subdivision is unlawful.

These opt-out provisions sit within Article IX, Division 1 (Secs. , bars stopping within 200 feet of a playground or school during organized activities, and bans peddling from vehicles over four tons except for prearranged deliveries. The sign requirements apply on top of, not instead of, the citywide peddler license requirement in Division 2 (Sec. 18-376), so a subdivision opt-out sign works even against a fully licensed peddler.
