Rankin County cities honor posted 'No Soliciting' signs. Brandon and Pearl enforce citations against permitted solicitors who ignore signs. No statewide no-knock registry in Mississippi; relies on municipal sign enforcement.
Mississippi does not maintain a statewide no-knock registry. Rankin County residents rely on posted 'No Soliciting' or 'No Trespassing' signs, which are legally enforceable under MS §97-17-87 (trespass after notice). Signs must be conspicuously posted at the entrance or driveway. Brandon, Pearl, and Flowood municipal ordinances typically require that permitted solicitors honor posted signs, and permit revocation is standard for repeat violations. Religious canvassers and political campaigners retain First Amendment protection under Watchtower v. Village of Stratton (2002) — they may still approach posted homes, though most respect signs voluntarily. Homeowners can also use Mississippi's no-trespass letter process: a written notice delivered by certified mail or sheriff establishes criminal trespass liability for return visits. Some HOAs in Brandon (Castlewoods, Lakeland) and Reservoir-area subdivisions post community-wide no-solicit signs at entrances.
Trespass after notice under MS §97-17-87: up to $500 fine, 6 months jail. Ignoring posted sign with commercial permit: $50-$250 plus permit revocation. Repeat violations: permanent ban from city solicitor list.
