DeSoto residents can legally prohibit solicitors from their property by posting a conspicuous 'No Solicitors' or 'No Trespassing' sign at the entrance. Solicitors who ignore such signage are subject to citation and may face trespass charges. The city may also maintain a no-solicitation registry in some cases. Protected non-commercial contact (religious outreach, political canvassing, charitable appeals) is generally not subject to no-solicitor signs under First Amendment precedent, though even protected canvassers should respect posted 'No Trespassing' signs that broadly apply. Complaints about non-compliant solicitors go to DeSoto Police non-emergency, and a visible permit badge should always be requested.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
