Full Breakdown

Tuolumne County has not adopted a specific solicitor, peddler, or door-to-door sales permit ordinance for unincorporated areas. Solicitation is generally a First Amendment-protected activity. California Penal Code §602 (trespassing) protects homeowners who post 'No Trespassing' or 'No Soliciting' signs. California Business and Professions Code §17500-17509 provides consumer protection against deceptive solicitation. The county's rural character and widely-spaced properties make door-to-door solicitation less common than in suburban areas. Some HOA communities (Pine Mountain Lake) may have CC&R provisions regarding solicitation within their developments.

Violations & Fines

Ignoring No Soliciting signs: potential trespassing (PC §602). Deceptive practices: consumer protection violations (BPC §17500).
