Do "No Soliciting" signs apply to door hangers?

Legally, "No Soliciting" signs generally target face-to-face sales pitches rather than passive printed materials like door hangers. But the smart move is to skip those homes anyway.

• What the sign usually means: the resident does not want to be approached for an in-person pitch.
• Where door hangers sit: a hanger left on the knob is passive, so it typically falls outside the strict definition of soliciting.
• Why to skip them anyway: respecting the sign reads as professional and avoids complaints that can invite code-enforcement attention to your whole campaign.

Local ordinances vary, so when in doubt, honor the sign and focus your drop on receptive homes.
