Summary

In the Town of Collierville, Tennessee, no solicitor, commercial or noncommercial, can enter or remain on private premises that display a No Solicitation or No Trespassing sign or a Town no-solicitation sticker. The code also authorizes a Town no-solicitation list, and commercial door-to-door selling is limited to 9:00 a.m. through one-half hour before sunset.

(A) No solicitor, whether commercial or noncommercial, shall enter or remain upon any private premises in the Town where: (1) A “No Solicitation” or “No Trespassing” sign is clearly posted or placed at or near the entrance(s) to such premises or ... (2) A town no-solicitation sticker, supplied by the Town of Collierville, is placed upon or affixed to the entryway or door of such premises or individual dwelling. (B) This provision shall apply to all solicitation, including, without limitation, all activities that are religious, charitable or political in nature and all solicitation of newspaper or magazine subscriptions. ... (A) The Town may establish a no-solicitation list allowing any owner or lawful occupant of any residence within the Town to prohibit solicitation at said residence by registering the address with the Town. Such registration shall take effect as soon as it is noted on the Town’s no-solicitation list.

Full Breakdown

Two separate tools let a resident of the Town of Collierville shut out door-to-door callers. The first is a posted sign or sticker. Section 110.33(A) bars any solicitor, whether commercial or noncommercial, from entering or remaining on private premises where a No Solicitation or No Trespassing sign is clearly posted at or near the entrance, or where a Town no-solicitation sticker is affixed to the entryway or door. In a multi-family dwelling the sign goes at the entrance to the individual dwelling. Division (B) extends the rule to all solicitation, including religious, charitable and political activity and newspaper or magazine subscription sales. Section 110.31 defines the Town sticker as a blue circular sticker, supplied by the Town of Collierville, bearing the words No Solicitation.

The second tool is the no-solicitation list in § 110.34. The Town can establish a list, and an owner or lawful occupant registers an address with the Town. Registration takes effect as soon as it is noted on the list. If the Town establishes the list, it must publish it on the Town's website and keep it at the office of the Town Clerk, free of charge and without requiring identification from anyone who asks for a copy. Each address stays on the list until the occupant removes it, and door-to-door solicitation at a listed address is prohibited. Each permit holder must review the list immediately upon issuance of a permit and at later intervals. Section 110.34(E) says the Town and its officers are not liable for errors or omissions in compiling the list.

Hours and conduct limits sit in the same chapter. Section 110.47(B) bars commercial door-to-door solicitation except between 9:00 a.m. and one-half hour before sunset. Section 110.46 forbids any solicitor from removing a posted sign or Town sticker and from staying after the owner or occupant says to leave. Section 110.32 exempts bona fide merchants delivering goods in the regular course of business and sellers responding to a prior invitation.

Violations & Fines

Entering or remaining on premises posted with a No Solicitation or No Trespassing sign or a Town sticker violates § 110.33, as does staying after being told to leave under § 110.46(B). Soliciting outside the permitted hours violates § 110.47(B). Under § 110.99 a violator can be fined not more than $50 or the maximum amount permitted by state law, whichever is greater, for each offense, with each day a separate offense. Any police officer or code enforcement official can enforce the chapter under § 110.98.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a No Solicitation sign actually bind solicitors in Collierville?
Yes. Section 110.33(A) forbids any solicitor, commercial or noncommercial, from entering or remaining on private premises where a No Solicitation or No Trespassing sign is clearly posted at or near the entrance. The rule covers religious, charitable and political callers and newspaper or magazine subscription sellers too, and a solicitor cannot remove the sign under § 110.46(A).
How do I get on the Collierville no-solicitation list?
Section 110.34(A) lets an owner or lawful occupant of a residence in the Town register the address with the Town, and registration takes effect as soon as it is noted on the list. The list is published on the Town's website and held at the Town Clerk's office. The code makes the list optional for the Town, so ask the Town Clerk how to register.
What hours can door-to-door sellers knock in the Town of Collierville?
Section 110.47(B) bars commercial door-to-door solicitation except between 9:00 a.m. and one-half hour before sunset. The code states the intent that these calls happen during daylight hours and at times when citizens feel secure in their homes to receive unexpected visitors. The hours limit in that section is written for commercial solicitors.
Are charities and political canvassers exempt from the sign rule?
No. Section 110.33(B) applies to all solicitation, including all activities that are religious, charitable or political in nature and all solicitation of newspaper or magazine subscriptions. The only exemptions in § 110.32 are bona fide merchants who deliver goods in the regular course of business and sellers responding to a prior invitation by the owner or occupant of a residence.
