Full Breakdown
Sec. 14-55 of the Victoria Code of Ordinances, within the itinerant-vendor and solicitor licensing article, sets two hard limits on door-to-door activity. Selling or soliciting at a private residence is unlawful from 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise unless the occupant invited the visit. Separately, a resident who posts a sign reading wording such as 'NO SOLICITORS' makes any further solicitation on that property unlawful: functioning as a per-property opt-out rather than a citywide do-not-knock registry. Both limits apply regardless of whether the solicitor holds a City Secretary-issued itinerant vendor permit under the same article.
Violations & Fines
Violating the curfew or ignoring a posted 'No Solicitors' sign is a Code violation punishable by up to a $500 fine per offense, with each day a separate offense, under the citywide general penalty, Sec. 1-8.
