Westland honors No Soliciting and No Knock signs at residences. Solicitors who knock or ring the bell at a posted home are subject to civil infraction tickets and immediate permit revocation.
The Westland Code of Ordinances expressly prohibits any solicitor, peddler, or canvasser from knocking on the door, ringing the bell, or otherwise summoning the occupant of a residence that displays a No Soliciting, No Knock, No Peddlers, or similarly worded sign clearly visible at the front entry. The rule applies to permitted commercial solicitors, charitable canvassers, and political and religious callers to the extent constitutionally permissible. Violations are municipal civil infractions and grounds for immediate revocation of any city-issued solicitor permit, plus a one-year disqualification for the violator and their employing organization. Residents who experience repeated violations can file a complaint with Westland Police, who maintain a registry of revoked permits.
