Sumner County residents stop solicitors mainly by posting a no-soliciting sign; several cities also keep a no-knock list. A registered solicitor who ignores a posted notice or listed address can be cited.
Protection from unwanted door-knocking comes from city ordinance and posted notice, not a countywide registry. In Sumner County cities, a clearly posted no-soliciting sign is legally meaningful: a permitted commercial solicitor who ignores it violates the local ordinance and can be cited. Some cities also let residents add their address to a no-knock or do-not-solicit list handed to every licensed canvasser. These protections bind commercial sellers only; charitable, religious, and political callers keep their constitutional right to knock regardless of a sign or list. In unincorporated areas, a no-soliciting sign supports a criminal trespass complaint when a seller refuses to leave.
A commercial solicitor who knocks at a posted or listed no-soliciting home, or works outside permitted hours, faces a municipal citation and can lose the city solicitor permit.
