Most Nassau County towns and villages maintain No-Knock or No-Solicitor registries. Residents can add their address to an official list and solicitors must check it before canvassing. Posted No Soliciting signs at entry carry legal weight for trespass charges.
Town of Hempstead maintains a No-Knock registry through the Town Clerk's office. Residents can register via form submission, and permitted solicitors must check the list before canvassing; violations can void the solicitor's permit. Town of North Hempstead and Town of Oyster Bay have similar programs. NY Penal Law 140.05 trespass applies when a solicitor enters property posted with clear No Soliciting signage. Federal DNC rules (FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule) apply to commercial telephone solicitation but not door-to-door. First Amendment protections for religious and political canvassing remain, but No Soliciting signs generally bind commercial solicitors.
Violating a No-Knock registry: permit revocation plus 250 to 1,000 dollar fine. Trespass: Penal Law 140.05 violation, 250 dollar fine.
