DeKalb County honors no-soliciting signs posted on private property. Several cities within DeKalb (Brookhaven, Dunwoody) operate formal no-knock registries. Religious and political canvassers exempt.
DeKalb County requires permitted solicitors to honor posted 'No Soliciting' or 'No Trespassing' signs on private residences. Cities within DeKalb, including Brookhaven and Dunwoody, maintain formal no-knock registries managed through the city clerk or police non-emergency line; residents register their address free of charge and the list is provided to all permitted solicitors. Violations by commercial solicitors are citable. First Amendment-protected canvassing (religious groups, political campaigns, nonprofit advocacy) is generally exempt from no-knock registries under Watchtower Bible v. Village of Stratton but not from trespass law if a sign is posted.
Ignoring posted sign: $100 to $500 and possible trespass charge. Visiting a registered address (where registry exists): $100 to $1,000 and permit revocation.
