A posted no-soliciting sign carries weight in Williamson County. Under the cities' solicitation ordinances, a permitted salesperson who ignores a clear no-soliciting notice can be cited. Protected religious and political canvassers may still knock.
Residents in Williamson County's cities can turn solicitors away with a clearly posted no-soliciting sign, which the municipal solicitation ordinances back up. A commercial solicitor who approaches a home displaying such a sign, or who refuses to leave after being asked, violates the ordinance and can be cited by city police; Franklin, for instance, enforces its permit and solicitation rules through its police department. Some cities also keep a do-not-knock or opt-out list residents can join, so check with your city hall or police records unit. The protection reaches commercial sales only; religious, political, and charitable canvassers keep their constitutional right to knock regardless of a posted sign.
A commercial solicitor who knocks at a posted no-soliciting home, or refuses to leave when asked, can be cited under the city's solicitation ordinance and risks losing the solicitor permit.
