Plano's Ordinance 11-145 makes it unlawful to solicit at any residential premises that displays a 'No Solicitation,' 'No Peddlers,' or 'No Trespassing' sign. The sign must be at least 3 inches by 4 inches with letters at least 2/3 of an inch high. Violations can result in citations and fines. Plano actively enforces this provision.
Plano's no-knock registry provides residents with a formal mechanism to opt out of commercial door-to-door solicitation. Residents register their address (typically online or at city hall) and their property is added to the no-knock list. Licensed solicitors must obtain and check the current registry before canvassing and must not contact registered addresses. "No Soliciting" signs posted at a property are independently enforceable — solicitors who ignore posted signs face citations regardless of registry status. The registry covers commercial solicitation only; First Amendment-protected activities (religious, political, nonprofit) may continue at registered addresses but must respect posted signs. The registry is updated periodically and solicitors must maintain current lists.
Soliciting at a registered no-knock address: $100–$250 fine per occurrence. Ignoring "No Soliciting" signs: $50–$100 fine. Repeat violations: permit revocation.
