Springfield, OR Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

Section 7.204 of the Springfield Municipal Code lets any resident refuse solicitors by posting a card or sign near the main entrance door. The sign must be weatherproof, no smaller than three inches by four inches, and print the words 'No Solicitors' or 'No Soliciting' in letters at least one-half inch tall; once posted, § 7.204(2) makes the sign sufficient notice to any solicitor that the occupant refuses entry. Section 7.206 then lists the acts every door-to-door solicitor must avoid: knocking at a residence displaying a compliant sign, showing up before 10 a.m. or after 8 p.m. on any day, soliciting at all on Sunday or a state or national legal holiday, working without the § 7.208 registration certificate, working without displaying the § 7.212 badge, or refusing to immediately and peacefully leave when the occupant asks.

These rules apply to any person entering a residence uninvited to sell goods or services, seek insurance or publication orders, or collect charitable donations, as defined in § 7.200. Minors 18 or under who are not paid agents of a company are exempt from most of Article XI, but § 7.214(1) specifically preserves their duty to honor a posted no-soliciting sign under § 7.204. There is no separate city-run do-not-knock registry; the sign itself is the mechanism, and Springfield Police Department officers enforce the hours and sign rules as a civil infraction, with the city able to revoke a solicitor's registration certificate for a violation within the preceding three years.
