Syracuse honors posted No Soliciting signs; violation subjects solicitor to trespass charge and permit revocation. No formal county-wide No Knock registry. Federal Do Not Call Registry applies to phone solicitation.
Syracuse and most Onondaga County towns require commercial solicitors to register with the city clerk or police department before door-to-door sales. Syracuse Revised General Ordinances regulate peddlers and transient merchants, requiring permits and honoring posted 'No Soliciting' signs. Entering a property after posted notice constitutes criminal trespass under NY Penal Law section 140.05-140.17. Religious and political canvassing are First Amendment protected and cannot be required to permit but still must honor no-trespass signs. Federal DNC Registry covers phone solicitation only.
Soliciting after posted notice: trespass, up to $250 fine and 15 days (NY Penal Law 140.05). Unlicensed peddling in Syracuse: fine up to $250 and license revocation.
