Summary

Rothschild bars door-to-door sellers from calling before 9 a.m. or after 9 p.m. without an appointment, and from calling at any home posted with a "No Peddlers" or "No Solicitors" sign under § 271-7. Ignoring a posted sign or ringing after hours is a Chapter 271 violation on top of any registration requirement.

A direct seller shall be prohibited from calling at any dwelling or other place between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m., except by appointment; calling at any dwelling or other place where a sign is displayed bearing the words "No Peddlers," "No Solicitors," or words of a similar meaning; calling at the rear door of any dwelling place; or remaining on any premises after being asked to leave by the owner, occupant or other person having authority over such premises.

Full Breakdown

Section 271-7A(1) of the Direct Sellers chapter sets Rothschild's calling-hours and no-knock protections in one sentence: a direct seller is prohibited from calling at any dwelling between 9:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. except by appointment, from calling at any dwelling posted with a "No Peddlers," "No Solicitors," or similarly worded sign, from calling at the rear door of any dwelling, and from remaining on premises after being asked to leave by the owner, occupant or other person with authority over the property. A resident who posts a qualifying sign is protected from any registered seller's visit, and any seller told to leave must go immediately, regardless of the hour.

The same subsection folds in conduct rules that go beyond the clock and the sign: no misrepresenting the purpose of a visit or the goods offered, no blocking sidewalks or streets, no loud noise or amplified sound audible beyond 100 feet, and no letting rubbish or litter accumulate around a sales location. These sit alongside the disclosure duties in § 271-7B, which require a seller to state their name, affiliation and the goods offered right after the initial greeting, before any other statement is made to the resident.

Violations & Fines

Ignoring the posted sign, the 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. calling window, or an order to leave is a Chapter 271 violation subject to § 271-10's reference to the Village's general penalty, § 1-2: $10 to $100 for a first offense, $50 to $500 for a repeat violation of the same rule within a year. A pattern of violations can also support revocation of the seller's registration under § 271-9.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I stop solicitors by posting a sign?
Yes. Section 271-7A(1) bars any direct seller from calling at a dwelling posted with a "No Peddlers," "No Solicitors," or similarly worded sign, so a posted sign is legally enough to keep registered sellers from approaching your door in Rothschild.
What hours can door-to-door sellers approach my home?
Between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. only, unless you've made an appointment with the seller for another time. Calling outside that window, even briefly, violates § 271-7A(1) regardless of whether the seller is otherwise properly registered with the Village Clerk.
What if I tell a solicitor to leave and they don't?
Section 271-7A(1) requires a direct seller to stop remaining on the premises once the owner, occupant, or anyone with authority over the property asks them to leave; refusing to go is itself a Chapter 271 violation carrying the Village's general fine.
