Caddo Parish, LA Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

Section 32-50(m) lets any resident of the unincorporated parish exclude door-to-door solicitors and canvassers simply by posting a printed placard or sign near the entrance stating that solicitors are prohibited. Once posted, 'No solicitor shall enter upon any premises, ring any doorbell or knock on any door where a placard or sign is posted, unless the solicitor has been previously invited by the individual occupying the residence.' This placard right sits inside the parish's broader solicitation ordinance (§ 32-50), which also bars all licensed solicitors from working any residence between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. under § 32-50(i)(9), and separately protects owners who have posted ordinary 'no trespassing' signs: § 32-50(i)(5) tells solicitors and canvassers to stay off private property altogether wherever trespassing signs are prominently posted, treating that as equivalent to a solicitation placard.

A solicitor who ignores a placard, a no-trespassing sign, or the curfew hours violates § 32-50, and § 32-50(i)(11) separately requires any solicitor asked to leave by an owner or occupant to depart immediately and stay off the property for 30 days unless expressly invited back. Tax-exempt canvassers working for churches, charities, schools or political campaigns are not licensed under this section, but they still must identify their organization to the occupant and are equally bound to honor a posted no-solicitation placard.
