Cobb County does not operate a central No-Knock registry. Instead, Ch. 90, Art. III gives 'No Soliciting' signs the force of law — violators face trespass and permit revocation. Several Cobb cities (Marietta) run their own registries.
Unincorporated Cobb County relies on posted 'No Soliciting' signs rather than a central registry. Under Code §90-Art. III, any commercial solicitor who approaches a residence displaying a clearly visible 'No Soliciting' sign near the front entrance commits a violation regardless of whether the resident answers the door. This mirrors O.C.G.A. §16-7-21 criminal trespass standards. Cobb does NOT maintain an opt-in list like Gwinnett County's registry. The City of Marietta, however, operates a separate Do-Not-Knock registry through the police department. Religious and political canvassers are constitutionally protected and the sign does not legally bar them, though most respect posted requests. Report violations to Cobb County Police non-emergency (770-499-3911) or the Business License Division.
Solicitor ignoring posted sign: criminal trespass O.C.G.A. §16-7-21 (misdemeanor) + Ch. 90 permit revocation. Peddling after warning: $250–$1,000 fine.
