Showing ordinances that apply to Goose Creek Village, VA
Goose Creek Village is an unincorporated community (population 2,298) in Loudoun County, Virginia. Because Goose Creek Village is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Loudoun County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The no-knock registry rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Loudoun County does not maintain a central no-knock registry, but residents can post 'No Soliciting' or 'No Trespassing' signs that are legally enforceable under VA Code §18.2-119 (trespass after forbidden). Solicitors ignoring clearly posted signs face citations under Ord. Ch. 1056 plus state trespass charges. Most Ashburn, Brambleton, Broadlands, and Lansdowne HOAs also prohibit soliciting community-wide — ignoring HOA signs triggers additional trespass liability.
Unlike some Northern Virginia localities (e.g., Fairfax City), Loudoun County does not operate a centralized no-knock registry. Instead, enforcement flows through two mechanisms. First, Loudoun County Codified Ordinances Chapter 1056 requires commercial solicitors to honor posted 'No Soliciting' signs at each residence — violation is a Class 3 misdemeanor. Second, Virginia Code §18.2-119 (trespass after having been forbidden to do so) makes it a Class 1 misdemeanor to enter property after being told verbally or by clear signage. Most Loudoun HOAs post community-wide 'No Soliciting' signs at entrances to planned communities like Brambleton, Broadlands, Lansdowne, Ashburn Village, and One Loudoun — these signs extend the no-soliciting notice to the entire development, and HOAs coordinate with the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office to enforce. Exempt categories remain: religious canvassers, political volunteers, and registered charitable solicitors per First Amendment protections. Residents who wish to report persistent soliciting violations can call the Sheriff's non-emergency line (703-777-1021) or file a complaint with Code Enforcement. Door-to-door sales scams (fake roofing inspectors, aggressive energy-switch pitches) should be reported to the VA Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division.
Ignoring posted no-soliciting sign (Ch. 1056): Class 3 misdemeanor, up to $500. Trespass after forbidden (VA §18.2-119): Class 1 misdemeanor, up to $2,500 + 12 months jail. HOA signs ignored: same state trespass charge plus possible civil HOA action.
