Riverside residents can post 'No Soliciting' signs to opt out of door-to-door solicitation. Solicitors who ignore posted signs may be cited for trespassing. The city enforces no-knock protections through the police department. Violations can result in fines and revocation of the solicitor's permit. Aggressive solicitation practices are prohibited.
Riverside offers a no-knock or no-soliciting registry allowing residents to opt out of door-to-door sales visits. Registered addresses are added to a list provided to all permitted solicitors. Solicitors who knowingly visit a registered address or ignore a posted no-soliciting sign face citations. Residents can register online, by phone, or at city hall. The registry does not apply to political, religious, or nonprofit canvassers, which are protected speech.
Ignoring no-soliciting sign: $50 to $250. Visiting registered address: $100 to $500. Repeated violations may result in permit revocation.
