Full Breakdown
the following morning, or at any time on Sundays or National Holidays, unless the resident has made a specific appointment or extended an invitation. Section 18-127 adds the no-knock protection homeowners actually rely on: it is unlawful for any peddler, canvasser or solicitor to enter a private premises or residential subdivision once it is posted with a sign reading "No Peddlers Allowed," "No Solicitations Allowed," or other words to the same effect, meaning a single posted sign at a subdivision entrance can bar solicitors from the whole neighborhood, not just one house.
The article also bars operating in the public streets or rights-of-way while going house to house (§ 18-124), requires written duplicate order forms for anything sold for future delivery (§ 18-125), and prohibits horns, bells, or amplified sound used to attract attention to goods for sale (§ 18-126). Any person violating these provisions is subject to the penalty in § 1-8 of the Code (§ 18-129), and misrepresenting the quality or nature of goods to induce a purchase is separately unlawful under § 18-128.
Violations & Fines
Entering a posted "No Peddlers Allowed" or "No Solicitations Allowed" property, soliciting outside the 9:00 a.m. to half-hour-before-sunset window, or soliciting on a Sunday or National Holiday without an appointment all violate Article VI and are punished under § 1-8 of the Code (§ 18-129).
