Roseville, MN Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

Roseville regulates door-to-door sales through the nuisance chapter, Sec. 405.03(13). Sec. 405.01 defines peddling and soliciting as going house-to-house, door-to-door, business-to-business, street-to-street, or any other place-to-place to offer property or services.

Subsection (13)a lists manners of peddling or soliciting that are nuisances: obstructing the free flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic on any street, alley, sidewalk or other public right-of-way; creating a threat to the health, safety and welfare of any individual or the public; doing so before 9:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m.; making false or misleading statements about the product or service, including untrue statements of endorsement; remaining on the property of another when requested to leave; and acting in a manner a reasonable person would find obscene, threatening, intimidating or abusive.

Subsection (13)b is the no-knock rule. A peddler or solicitor may not enter the property of another, unless invited by the property owner or tenant before entering, when the property is marked with a sign or placard that is at least four inches long and four inches wide, has print at least 48-point in size or one half inch tall, and states "no trespassing" or "no peddlers or solicitor," or "peddlers and solicitors prohibited" or another comparable statement. Subsection (13)c makes it a nuisance for anyone other than the property owner or tenant to remove, deface or tamper with a sign displayed under (13)b.

The code in Sec. 405.03(13) works through the posted sign and the hour limits. It does not print a list or registry that a resident signs up for. The community development director administers and enforces Chapter 405 under Sec. 405.06, and the public works director takes nuisances impacting the public right-of-way.
