Colorado CRS 18-4-503 makes it second-degree criminal trespass to enter a residence after notice against trespass, giving posted no-soliciting signs statewide legal force regardless of local rules.
Under CRS 18-4-503, a person commits second-degree criminal trespass by unlawfully entering or remaining on the premises of another after notice against trespass, which courts interpret to include conspicuously posted no-trespassing or no-soliciting signs at residential entrances. Solicitors who ignore posted signs may be cited regardless of whether they hold a local solicitor permit. The statute applies uniformly to all residential property statewide, providing universal homeowner protection that supplements any local soliciting registration ordinance.
Second-degree criminal trespass on a residence is a class 2 misdemeanor punishable by up to 120 days jail and $750 fine under CRS 18-1.3-501.
