A posted no-soliciting sign alone generally is not enough for criminal trespass in Colorado. Under C.R.S. 18-4-503, second-degree criminal trespass of residential premises requires fenced or enclosed property, or a solicitor who refuses to leave after the resident gives notice.
Under C.R.S. 18-4-503, a person commits second-degree criminal trespass by unlawfully entering or remaining on premises that are fenced or enclosed in a manner designed to exclude intruders, or in the common areas of an apartment or hotel. A posted no-soliciting sign on an open, unfenced yard usually does not by itself satisfy the statute; the stronger case arises when a solicitor refuses to leave after the resident gives notice, or enters fenced or otherwise enclosed property. Local solicitation-permit ordinances operate alongside state trespass law and a resident may always order a solicitor to leave.
Second-degree criminal trespass of residential premises is a petty offense in Colorado; only the motor-vehicle variant is a class 2 misdemeanor. A refusing solicitor can also be removed and cited under local ordinances.
