Tucson recognizes and enforces no-solicitation and no-knock postings on private residences. Solicitors who ignore posted 'No Soliciting' or 'No Knock' signs are in violation of city code and may face fines and permit revocation. Residents can post signs at their entrance to prevent unwanted solicitation, and commercial solicitors are required to check for and honor these postings.
No-knock rules apply primarily to commercial solicitors. Religious, political, and charitable canvassers may have broader First Amendment protections but are still expected to respect clear no-contact postings. The sign must be visible at or near the front entrance. Solicitors who ring the doorbell or knock despite a posted sign can be cited. Residents who experience repeat violations should document the solicitor's identity and report to code enforcement.
Ignoring a no-knock posting can result in a civil infraction and fine for commercial solicitors. Repeat violations may lead to permit revocation. Solicitors who refuse to leave after being asked to depart may be charged with trespassing.
