Yonkers residents may post "No Soliciting" signs; solicitors must honor them under Yonkers Code Chapter 50. The city maintains a Do Not Knock Registry for residents who opt out.
Yonkers Code Chapter 50 requires commercial solicitors to respect posted No Soliciting signs. Violation is a ticketable offense. Residents may register their address with the city's Do Not Knock Registry maintained by the City Clerk — licensed solicitors receive the updated list and must avoid those addresses. Religious and political canvassers have constitutional protections but most still honor signs as courtesy.
