Warrick County, IN Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

Warrick County Code § 110.03(B)(3) states that registration and licensing "shall not be construed to be a permit to enter neighborhoods, areas, properties, or premises that have conspicuously posted non-solicitation notices." A valid county peddler or solicitor license under § 110.03(B)(1) grants no right of entry onto a lot whose owner has posted a no-soliciting sign; the license only authorizes the licensee's business generally, and the posted sign, not the county, governs a specific property. Warrick County backs the notice rule with a separate, countywide time-of-day restriction: § 110.03(G) prohibits any peddler or solicitor from working before 9:00 a.m. and requires all activity to stop one hour before sunset each day the license is in effect, so no county license authorizes evening, night, or early-morning knocking regardless of what a property's sign says.

The Administrator of the Warrick County Board of Commissioners issues and can revoke licenses, and § 110.03(H) lists conducting business in an unlawful manner or in a manner constituting a breach of the peace as a revocation ground, which reaches a licensee who repeatedly ignores posted notices. Because the ordinance creates no separate county do-not-knock registry, residents who want to stop solicitors must post a visible sign at the property line or door rather than register with the county or Sheriff. Violations of § 110.03 generally, including disregard of a posted notice, are punishable under § 110.03(J) by a $250 fine for a first offense and $500 for each later offense, with continuing violations counted day by day.
