York County keeps no do-not-knock registry. A posted "No Soliciting" or "No Trespassing" sign carries legal force: a solicitor who enters or stays after that notice commits trespass under S.C. Code Section 16-11-620.
The county runs no county-wide no-knock list, so enforcement rests on trespass-after-notice law. S.C. Code Section 16-11-620 makes it an offense to enter another's premises after being warned not to, or to refuse to leave after being ordered to do so. A clearly posted no-soliciting or no-trespassing sign supplies that warning, and a York County sheriff's deputy can act once the solicitor remains despite it. Rock Hill, Fort Mill, and other cities may keep their own no-knock or peddler ordinances that add penalties inside their limits.
A solicitor who enters posted property or refuses to leave after being told commits trespass under Section 16-11-620, on conviction fined up to two hundred dollars or imprisoned up to thirty days.
