Summary
Victorville solicitors must honor posted No Soliciting or No Trespassing signs at individual homes and multi-family entrances. Ignoring a posted sign is a Municipal Code violation enforceable by citation.
Except as provided in subdivisions (u), (v), and (x), and Section 602.8, a person who willfully commits a trespass by any of the following acts is guilty of a misdemeanor:
(m) Entering and occupying real property or structures of any kind without the consent of the owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in lawful possession.
(n) Driving a vehicle, as defined in Section 670 of the Vehicle Code, upon real property belonging to, or lawfully occupied by, another and known not to be open to the general public, without the consent of the owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in lawful possession.
(o) (1) Refusing or failing to leave land, real property, or structures belonging to, or lawfully occupied by, another and not open to the general public, upon being requested to leave by (1) a peace officer at the request of the owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in lawful possession, and upon being informed by the peace officer that they are acting at the request of the owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in lawful possession, or (2) the owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in lawful possession. The owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in lawful possession shall make a separate request to the peace officer on each occasion when the peace officer’s assistance in dealing with a trespass is requested. However, a single request for a peace officer’s assistance, made in a notarized writing on a form provided by the law enforcement agency, may be made to cover a limited period of time not to exceed a time period determined by local ordinance or 12 months, whichever is shorter, and identified by specific dates, during which there is a fire hazard or the owner, owner’s agent, or person in lawful possession is absent from the premises or property.
Full Breakdown
Victorville Municipal Code treats a clearly visible No Soliciting, No Trespassing, or similar sign at a residence, apartment complex, or gated community entrance as legal notice that solicitation is not welcome. Commercial solicitors and peddlers who enter or remain on the property after seeing such a sign may be cited under the soliciting ordinance and California Penal Code 602 trespass provisions. Multi-family and gated communities can post community-wide No Soliciting signs at entries, and these apply to all units inside. Residents can supplement with individual signs near the front door. Solicitors may not use knockers or doorbells repeatedly or engage in intimidating behavior after being asked to leave. Charitable and religious canvassers also must respect posted No Soliciting signs for door-to-door commercial-style activity, although pure political canvassing has stronger First Amendment protections. Repeat violations of no-knock rules can lead to solicitor permit suspension or revocation.
