Summary
Sacramento County honors posted No Soliciting and No Trespassing signs. Solicitors who ignore signs can be cited for trespass under Penal Code 602 in addition to county peddler violations.

(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.
(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.
Full Breakdown
A clearly posted No Soliciting or No Trespassing sign at a driveway, gate, or front door gives notice under California Penal Code 602(o) and 602.8 that entry for commercial solicitation is unauthorized. Sacramento County peddler ordinances also require solicitors to immediately leave premises when asked. Violations can be prosecuted as infractions or misdemeanors. Residents may also file complaints with the Sheriffs non-emergency line, the California Attorney General for DNC violations, or the FTC for robocall or deceptive practices.
