Madison County runs no no-knock registry, but a posted "No Soliciting" or "No Trespassing" sign carries legal force. Entering or remaining on posted premises after that notice is criminal trespass in the third degree under Alabama Code Section 13A-7-4.
The county maintains no do-not-knock list for unincorporated areas; enforcement runs through criminal trespass law. Code Section 13A-7-4 makes it an offense to knowingly enter or remain unlawfully in or upon premises, and a clearly posted "No Soliciting" or "No Trespassing" sign supplies the notice that makes an unwanted solicitor's continued presence unlawful. A Madison County sheriff's deputy can act on it once the person is on notice and refuses to leave. Huntsville, Madison, 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 criminal trespass in the third degree, classified as a violation subject to a fine, and escalating if the trespass is on a dwelling or fenced land.
