All Yuma residents wishing to prohibit solicitors from their residences may obtain a sign from the City of Yuma's police department or the City of Yuma's Customer Service Office. These weatherproof cards, approximately three inches by four inches in size, shall be exhibited upon or near the mailbox for the residence and shall bear the words "No Solicitors Invited." ... It is hereby declared to be unlawful and shall constitute a nuisance for any person to go upon any premises and ring the door bell upon or near any door, or create any sound in any other manner calculated to attract the attention of the occupant of such residence, for the purpose of securing an audience with the occupant thereof and engage in soliciting, in defiance of the notice exhibited at that residence. ...

Full Breakdown
Section 70-20(C) lets any Yuma resident obtain a weatherproof card, about three by four inches, from the police department or the Customer Service Office, reading 'No Solicitors Invited,' to post on or near the mailbox; residents may also use their own card of similar size and wording. Every solicitor must look for such a notice, and knocking, ringing the bell or otherwise trying to get a resident's attention to solicit at a posted address is declared unlawful and a nuisance. Section 70-20(D) gives residents who would rather not post a sign the option of asking the city to place their address on a master do-not-solicit list, which the city hands to every solicitor when it issues that solicitor's business license, and which carries the same legal weight as the posted card.
is unlawful and a nuisance, whether or not the solicitor is registered under the subchapter. Both the posted-card and curfew violations are enforced the same way as unlicensed solicitation, through the Chief of Police under § 70-02.
Violations & Fines
Soliciting at an address posted with a 'No Solicitors Invited' card, or on the master do-not-solicit list, or outside the nine a.m. to nine p.m. window, is declared a nuisance and unlawful under § 70-20(C) and (E), regardless of whether the solicitor is registered. Because no specific fine is set, § 70-99 applies § 10-99's class 2 misdemeanor penalty: up to a $750 fine, five days in jail, or both.
