Cornelius recognizes No Solicitation and No Trespassing signs posted at residential entrances. Soliciting at a home that displays such a sign is prohibited and may constitute second-degree trespass under N.C.G.S. §14-159.13.
Town solicitor permits are conditioned on respecting No Solicitation notices. Residents may post a sign at the front door, driveway entrance, or mailbox to bar commercial solicitation. Ignoring a clearly visible sign is a violation of the Town solicitation ordinance and can trigger revocation of the solicitor's permit. Under N.C.G.S. §14-159.13, entering or remaining on posted property without authorization is a Class 3 misdemeanor. Residents experiencing repeat violations should record the company name, solicitor ID, and time, then report to Cornelius Police non-emergency or the Town clerk who issued the permit.
