Summary

In the City of Yorba Linda, residents can bar solicitors from their property by enrolling in the City Clerk's Do Not Knock Registry under Municipal Code Section 5.02.080, and solicitors are also barred from knocking earlier than 8:00 a.m. or later than 30 minutes after sunset.

The City Clerk's office shall prepare a list of addresses of those premises where the owner and/or occupant has notified the City Clerk that soliciting is not permitted on the premises (hereinafter referred to as the "Do Not Knock" Registry). ... The list shall be updated every 30 days and shall be effective on the first day of each month. ... It is unlawful for any person, while soliciting, ... whether it be for commercial or noncommercial purposes, to go upon, ring the bell, knock on the door of or attempt to gain admission to the premises of any residence, dwelling or apartment in the City 30 minutes after sunset or earlier than 8:00 a.m.

Full Breakdown

Section 5.02.080 lets any owner or occupant list their address on the City's Do Not Knock Registry by submitting a form to the City Clerk; the listing is valid for one year and must be renewed annually. The registry is updated every 30 days and takes effect on the first of each month. The City Clerk's office issues the current registry to every solicitor when a solicitation permit is granted, and solicitors must obtain an updated copy on the first of each month; property owners on the list may also buy a sticker or sign from the Clerk's office for a nominal fee to post on the premises.

Section 5.02.100 separately makes it unlawful to go upon, ring the bell of, or knock on any residence where the occupant has objected by explicit instruction, registry listing, or a posted No Solicitation sign or decal, unless the occupant invited the visit; routine deliveries and requested service calls are presumed invited. Section 5.02.140 sets citywide solicitation hours: no one may knock, ring a bell, or attempt entry earlier than 8:00 a.m. or later than 30 minutes after sunset, again unless invited by the owner or an adult occupant.

Violations & Fines

Section 5.02.080(G) makes it unlawful for a solicitor to solicit any address on the current Do Not Knock Registry regardless of whether they picked up the latest monthly update. Violations of the registry rule, the unwanted-solicitation rule in Section 5.02.100, or the hours limit in Section 5.02.140 fall under the general enforcement of Section 5.02.150, punishable under Chapter 1.12 and grounds to revoke the solicitor's permit with a one-year bar on reapplying.
