Summary

Henry County makes it unlawful under Code of Ordinances § 3-3-46(2)(e)(4) for any canvasser or solicitor to solicit or canvass a private premises displaying a sign, plaque or other posting declaring "No Soliciting" or a similar prohibition. The same subsection separately bars soliciting at a residence, apartment complex or shopping center without the occupant's or owner's express prior permission where a no-solicitation sign is posted.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Henry County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

Without the express prior permission of an occupant or property owner, to solicit at any residence, apartment complex, or shopping center, other than areas open to public parking, where a sign has been posted prohibiting such solicitation; ... To solicit or canvass on any private premises upon which is displayed a sign, plaque or other posting declaring "No Soliciting" or other similar prohibition.

Full Breakdown

Section 3-3-46 regulates door-to-door canvassing and soliciting across unincorporated Henry County, and subsection (2)(e) lists acts that are unlawful for any canvasser or solicitor regardless of registration status. Paragraph 4 of that list makes it unlawful to solicit or canvass on any private premises upon which is displayed a sign, plaque or other posting declaring "No Soliciting" or other similar prohibition. Paragraph 2 backs that up for shared and semi-public property, barring solicitation at any residence, apartment complex or shopping center, other than areas open to public parking, where a sign has been posted prohibiting solicitation and the occupant or property owner has not given express prior permission.

Paragraph 3 treats remaining on private premises after being asked to leave, or continuing to solicit on public streets after being refused, as harassment, a separate unlawful act under the same subsection. These no-soliciting protections apply on top of the county's general registration and fee system: even a solicitor who has registered with the revenue collection officer, paid the regulatory fee and carries a county identity card still commits a violation by knocking on a door posted against solicitation. 00, up to sixty days in the county jail, or both.

Any violation of the article is punishable in Henry County Magistrate Court by up to a $500.00 fine, sixty days in jail, or both, under § 3-3-46(6)(a).
