A posted "No Soliciting" sign in Sarpy County's cities carries weight, and a permitted commercial solicitor who ignores it can be cited or lose the permit. The cities rely on the sign and permit system rather than a formal do-not-knock registry.
Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, and Gretna enforce unwanted solicitation mainly through posted-property rules and their solicitor-permit systems rather than a countywide do-not-knock list. A clearly posted "No Soliciting" sign puts a commercial solicitor on notice, and a permitted solicitor who ignores it or refuses to leave can lose the permit and be cited. Refusing to leave after a resident asks can also amount to criminal trespass under Nebraska law. Religious, political, and nonprofit canvassers are protected speech and are not bound by no-soliciting signs the way commercial sellers are. Residents who want visits to stop should post a sign and report violations to city code enforcement or police.
A commercial solicitor who ignores a posted no-soliciting sign or refuses to leave can be cited and lose the city permit, and entering or staying after being told to leave can be charged as criminal trespass.
