White Plains honors 'No Soliciting' and 'No Knock' signs posted at residences. Solicitors must not ring or knock at homes displaying such signs. The city does not maintain a formal centralized no-knock registry.
Under WP's peddler/solicitor chapter, licensed solicitors must obey posted notices refusing solicitation. Violating a posted no-solicitation sign is grounds for license revocation and criminal trespass charges. Religious canvassing and political canvassing receive broader First Amendment protection but are still expected to respect posted signs. Recommended sign text: 'No Soliciting' visibly posted at the front entry.
Soliciting after posted refusal: license revocation, trespass charge, fines up to $500.
