Posted no-soliciting signs at Hinds County residences are enforceable against commercial solicitors. Jackson, Clinton, and Raymond honor posted notices. Ignoring signs results in fines. Political and religious canvassers constitutionally exempt.
Hinds County municipalities enforce posted no-soliciting signs against commercial peddlers. The City of Jackson Code of Ordinances makes it unlawful for a permitted solicitor to enter property where a conspicuous no-soliciting notice is posted. Clinton and Raymond follow the same approach through their peddler ordinances. Hinds County does not maintain a centralized no-knock registry, so residents rely on posted signs at the front door or gate. Mississippi trespass law (§97-17-87) provides a secondary enforcement tool: once a solicitor is told to leave, refusing becomes criminal trespass. Religious door-knocking (Jehovah's Witnesses, LDS missionaries), political campaigning, and nonprofit canvassing are protected First Amendment activity and not covered by no-soliciting ordinances.
Commercial solicitor ignoring posted sign: $50 to $500 in Jackson. Repeated violations: permit revocation. Refusal to leave after notice: MS §97-17-87 trespass charge.
