Colorado Springs does not maintain a formal city-wide no-knock registry, but CSCC Β§2.4.106 requires commercial solicitors to honor posted "No Soliciting" signs. Violation carries $100-$300 fines. El Paso County unincorporated relies on trespassing statutes (C.R.S. Β§18-4-503) for enforcement.
Unlike cities such as Aurora, Arvada, or Denver with formal no-knock registries, Colorado Springs relies on a posted-sign enforcement model under CSCC Β§2.4.106. Any "No Soliciting" or "No Trespassing" sign posted at the entrance, driveway, or door legally bars commercial solicitors β ignoring the sign is a municipal offense. Residents do not need to register centrally. Sign must be reasonably visible (4-inch letters, near entrance). Many HOAs in master-planned communities maintain community-wide no-soliciting lists by requesting that licensed solicitors avoid their neighborhoods β enforced through HOA private communications rather than municipal code. Manitou Springs and Monument operate similar posted-sign systems. Political, religious, and 501(c)(3) charitable canvassers are exempt under First Amendment protections, even when signs are posted β they may still knock but must leave promptly when asked (Watchtower v. Stratton). Repeated violations by a commercial solicitor can result in permit revocation under CSCC Β§2.4.105(g). El Paso County unincorporated areas use C.R.S. Β§18-4-503 criminal trespass (second degree) as the enforcement tool β a Class 3 misdemeanor.
Ignoring no-soliciting sign: $100-$300 CSCC Β§2.4.106. Trespassing after verbal refusal: C.R.S. Β§18-4-503 Class 3 misdemeanor, up to 6 months jail and $750 fine. Permit revocation after repeat violations.
