A posted no-soliciting sign carries legal weight in Coweta County. A commercial solicitor who ignores a clear notice or refuses to leave can be cited and charged with criminal trespass under Georgia law. Protected canvassers keep their right to knock.
Coweta County residents back their own no-soliciting decisions through Georgia criminal trespass law, O.C.G.A. Section 16-7-21, rather than a single countywide registry. A clearly posted no-soliciting or no-trespassing sign gives notice, and a commercial solicitor who enters or remains after being told to leave can be charged with criminal trespass. A city permit issued to a solicitor may also be revoked for ignoring posted notices. The protection reaches commercial door-to-door sales; religious, political, and charitable canvassers keep their constitutional right to approach a home regardless of a posted sign, though many honor it by custom. Any no-knock list is maintained at the municipal level, so check your city.
A commercial solicitor who knocks at a posted no-soliciting home, or refuses to leave after notice, faces a criminal trespass charge under Georgia law and possible revocation of any city-issued solicitor permit.
