Omaha honors 'No Soliciting' and 'No Trespassing' signs posted at residences. Solicitors who ignore posted signs may be cited for trespassing. The city's solicitor permit program includes instructions to respect posted refusal signs.
Residents can post 'No Soliciting' signs at their property entrance to prevent unwanted door-to-door sales visits. Permitted solicitors are instructed to respect these signs as part of their permit conditions. Ignoring a 'No Soliciting' sign and knocking may constitute trespass under Nebraska law. The city does not maintain a formal 'Do Not Knock' registry but relies on posted signage. Political canvassers and religious missionaries are generally exempt from solicitation rules but should still respect 'No Trespassing' signs.
Solicitors who ignore posted 'No Soliciting' signs may be cited for trespassing under Nebraska trespass statutes and Omaha ordinances. Permit holders who repeatedly violate posted signs may have their permits revoked.
