Canal Winchester residents can post No Solicitors or No Trespassing signs at their property and solicitors who ignore them commit a code violation. The city maintains a no-knock registry option through some neighborhoods and HOAs.
Posted No Solicitors, No Trespassing, or Private Property signs at property entrances are legally enforceable. Commercial solicitors who enter after notice are subject to criminal trespass under ORC 2911.21 in addition to municipal code violations. Signs must be reasonably visible at the main entry or driveway. Religious and political canvassers have constitutional protection that may override No Solicitors signs for brief contact, but they must leave if specifically asked. Some HOAs in Canal Winchester neighborhoods maintain private no-knock lists. The Federal Trade Commission Do Not Call Registry covers phone solicitation, not door-to-door.
Ignoring posted sign: $100-$250 municipal fine plus possible ORC 2911.21 criminal trespass charge (M4, up to $250 and 30 days). Repeated violations may result in permit revocation.
