Wichita maintains a no-knock/do-not-knock registry allowing residents to opt out of door-to-door solicitation. Solicitors are required to check the registry and honor no-soliciting signs posted at residences.
Residents can register their address on the city's do-not-knock list to prevent unwanted commercial solicitation. Registered solicitors must check the list before canvassing and skip registered addresses. Posting a no-soliciting sign at the entrance of a home has legal effect, and solicitors who ignore it may be cited. Religious organizations, political campaigns, and nonprofit groups are generally exempt from no-knock requirements. The registry does not prevent delivery of mail, packages, or government notices.
Solicitors who ignore no-soliciting signs or contact registered no-knock addresses face municipal fines. Repeat violations can result in permit revocation. Residents may report violations to code enforcement or police non-emergency.
