Albuquerque and Bernalillo County honor posted No Soliciting signs as enforceable notices under the solicitor ordinance. Ignoring a posted sign or entering a fenced yard past a gate can be a citation or criminal trespass under NMSA §30-14-1.
Albuquerque ROA 1994 §13-1-1 makes it an offense for a commercial solicitor to knock or ring at a residence posted with a conspicuous No Soliciting sign. Bernalillo County does not operate a formal opt-out registry like some jurisdictions, but the posted sign alone is legally sufficient. Entering past a fence, gate, or posted sign with intent to solicit can also support a criminal trespass charge under NMSA §30-14-1 (misdemeanor). The sign must be legible and posted at the primary entrance (front door, gate, or mailbox area). Religious and political canvassing are NOT fully bound by No Soliciting signs under First Amendment doctrine (Watchtower v. Stratton), though many respect them voluntarily. Complaints go to APD (inside city) or Bernalillo County Sheriff (unincorporated). Repeat offenders risk permit revocation.
Ignoring No Soliciting sign: $100 to $500 citation under ROA §13-1-1. Criminal trespass under NMSA §30-14-1: petty misdemeanor, up to $500 and 6 months jail. Repeat violations: permit revocation by the city clerk.
