Sacramento honors no-solicitation signs and postings under City Code Chapter 5.36. Solicitors are prohibited from knocking on doors or ringing doorbells at properties that display a no-solicitation or no-trespassing sign. Residents can also request to be placed on a no-solicitation list. Violations of no-solicitation postings can be reported to the Sacramento Police Department.
Property owners and tenants can post no-solicitation signs at their entrance or property boundary to prevent unwanted solicitation. Under city code, it is unlawful for any solicitor to knock, ring, or otherwise disturb a property with a posted no-solicitation notice. Religious and political canvassers are generally exempt from solicitor permit requirements but are still required to leave immediately when asked by an occupant. The Sacramento Police Department non-emergency line (916-808-5471) handles complaints about aggressive or illegal solicitation.
Ignoring a no-solicitation sign can result in a misdemeanor charge and fines. Continued presence after being asked to leave constitutes trespassing under California Penal Code §602. Aggressive or threatening solicitation may result in arrest.
