Parma maintains a No Knock registry through the city Building or Police Department. Residents can register their address to legally prohibit door-to-door solicitation. No Trespassing or No Solicitation signs at the property entrance also carry legal weight under Parma ordinance and Ohio trespass law.
Parma's solicitor ordinance (CO Chapter 729) provides that solicitors must not approach any home displaying a No Solicitation sign or listed on the city's No Knock registry. Violation is a separate offense from unlicensed solicitation. Religious and political canvassers retain First Amendment right to approach under Watchtower v. Stratton but may be cited for trespass if they ignore posted signs. Police respond to active solicitation violations.
Solicitation at posted/registered address: minor misdemeanor up to 150 dollars, plus permit revocation. Criminal trespass under ORC 2911.21: 4th-degree misdemeanor up to 250 dollars and 30 days.
