A posted 'No Soliciting' sign in Scott County's cities carries legal weight, and a permitted solicitor who ignores it can be cited. Some cities also keep a do-not-knock list residents can join.
Shakopee, Savage, and Prior Lake enforce unwanted solicitation through their solicitor-permit systems and posted-property rules. A clearly posted 'No Soliciting' sign puts a commercial solicitor on notice; a permitted solicitor who ignores it or refuses to leave can lose the city permit and be cited. Several cities maintain a do-not-knock or no-solicitation list that registered addresses are added to and shared with permitted solicitors. Ignoring a resident's request to leave can also amount to criminal trespass under Minnesota law. Religious, political, and nonprofit canvassers are protected speech and are not bound by these signs the way commercial sellers are.
A commercial solicitor who ignores a posted no-soliciting sign or a do-not-knock listing can be cited and lose the city permit, and entering after being told to leave can be charged as trespass.
