Rock Hill, SC Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

Rock Hill does not run a do-not-solicit registry the way some cities do. ' Because the definitions in Section 26-16(b)(6) tie 'soliciting' to both busking and panhandling as defined in that section, this posted-sign rule applies most directly to street performers and panhandlers approaching private property; door-to-door commercial peddling and sales are separately licensed under the city's business license and street vendor provisions in Chapter 11. Section 26-16(d) layers on a citywide time restriction that applies regardless of signage: no soliciting of any kind is allowed between sunset and sunrise, with the boundary set by the National Weather Service's local tables.

Subsection (e) adds that a solicitor may never approach a moving vehicle or step into the roadway to reach a car stopped at an intersection, and subsection (g) requires solicitors to keep clear of doors, driveways, and building entrances so a posted property's access is never blocked even where soliciting itself is not otherwise restricted. Together, the posted-sign rule, the nighttime ban, and the access-clearance rule give property owners layered protection without the city having to maintain its own no-knock list.
