Southampton Village, NY Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

Article I of Chapter 84 of the Southampton Village Code, adopted August 15, 1980 as Local Law No. 3-1980, is a registry system rather than a curfew. Under § 84-1A, once the owner or occupant of private residential property in the Village of Southampton has given notice under § 84-2, no person may enter that property to vend, peddle or solicit orders for any merchandise, service, device, book, periodical or printed matter; to solicit alms or a subscription or contribution to any church, charitable or public institution; to distribute any handbill, pamphlet, tract, notice or advertising matter; or to sell or distribute any ticket or chance. The article sets no daily hours. The notice itself is the rule, and § 84-2A says a person who enters after notice is not licensed or privileged to be there and enters unlawfully.

Section 84-2B sets the filing method: sign an official form supplied by the Village Clerk and file it in the Clerk's office, describing the property by street and number. Section 84-1B adds an exception for people who have been bona fide Village residents for at least six consecutive months, or have kept a place of business in the Village for that long, but only where the owner or occupant elected that exception by checking the squared space on the form under § 84-3. Without the check, the ban applies to those local callers too. Either choice can be withdrawn at any time, and the Clerk notes the date on the form (§ 84-4).

Section 84-5 requires the Clerk to maintain a street-by-street filing system and a signed list of every registered property. Anyone who wants to solicit can inspect it, and a copy of the list costs $0.25 per page.
