Louisville Metro honors posted 'No Soliciting' signs under LMCO Ch. 115 — commercial peddlers who ignore a sign face citations. No formal Metro-wide no-knock registry; some incorporated cities (St. Matthews, Jeffersontown) maintain their own opt-out lists.
Louisville Metro does not operate a centralized No-Knock registry, but LMCO Chapter 115 gives 'No Soliciting' signs legal weight — commercial peddlers who disregard a posted sign commit a per-se violation and face citation. Several 4th-class cities inside the metro maintain their own opt-out lists: St. Matthews (through its city hall), Jeffersontown, and Anchorage have historically allowed residents to register do-not-solicit addresses that are distributed to peddler permit holders. Exemptions apply to religious, political, charitable, and issue-advocacy canvassers, consistent with Watchtower v. Stratton (2002). Louisville residents also have rights under Kentucky's consumer protection statutes (KRS Chapter 367) when solicited — three-day cancellation right for home-sold goods over $25 (KRS §367.410), which applies even if the visit was consented to.
Ignoring posted 'No Soliciting' sign: LMCO §115.99 citation $50 to $250. Repeated offenses against the same address: $100 to $500 plus possible permit revocation. Fraudulent pitch with sign violation: combined consumer protection action under KRS Ch. 367.
