Gulfport and Biloxi maintain no-solicitation registries. Posted 'No Soliciting' signs are enforceable. Protected canvassing (religious, political, nonprofit) exempt under constitutional law.
Harrison County residents can register addresses on municipal no-solicitation lists maintained by Gulfport and Biloxi city clerks. Registered addresses are provided to all permitted solicitors, who must avoid them or face permit revocation. Posted 'No Soliciting' or 'No Trespassing' signs at the residence are independently enforceable — Mississippi trespass law (MS Code §97-17-87) makes it a misdemeanor to enter posted property after warning. Registry exemptions include political candidates, religious groups, and nonprofit canvassers under First Amendment precedent (Watchtower v. Stratton, 2002). Charity solicitors still must comply with MS Charitable Solicitations Act registration. Post-hurricane door-to-door contractor solicitation has driven stricter enforcement across the coast since Katrina (2005) and Hurricane Zeta (2020).
Ignoring posted no-soliciting sign: MS §97-17-87 misdemeanor, up to $500 and 6 months jail. Violating city registry: $100 to $500 plus permit revocation.
