A. Every solicitor shall check each residence for any “No Soliciting” sign or placard or any other notice or sign notifying a solicitor not to solicit on the premises, such as, but not limited to, “No Trespassing” and “No Solicitors” signs. If such sign or placard is posted such solicitor shall desist from any efforts to solicit at the residence or dwelling and shall immediately depart from such property. Possession of a certificate of registration does not in any way relieve any solicitor of this duty.

B. It is a violation of this chapter for any person to knock on the door, ring the door bell, or in any other manner attempt to attract the attention of an occupant of a residence that bears a “No Soliciting” or similar sign or placard. It is a violation of this chapter for any solicitor through ruse, deception, or concealment of a purpose to solicit, to take action calculated to secure an audience with the occupant of a residence that has posted a “No Soliciting” or similar sign or placard.

C. Any solicitor who is at any time asked by the occupant of a residence or dwelling to leave shall immediately and peacefully depart. [Code 2000 § 16-11-19].
