Custom No Trespassing Signs

Understanding What Trespassing Is And How To Protect Yourself From Criminals

For private landowners, the annoyance of potential trespassers and the liability that comes with them is a real concern. But what can be considered criminal trespass? How is it defined and when can you use the local authorities to help prosecute any would be trespassers? Each state has its own specification but generally speaking, criminal trespassing is defined as “when a person (or persons) enters or remains on the owner's land or property without permission”. Someone caught trespassing on another person’s property or land can face criminal prosecution, even possibly a civil lawsuit. But trespassing is first and foremost a criminal offense. While each state’s laws definition of criminal trespass may vary to some degree, the typical elements of the crime are:

• Intent: In order to commit criminal trespass, you must either enter a property knowing that you don’t have authorization to be there or remain on the property after being made aware that you don’t have permission to be there. Wandering into someone’s territory by mistake for example, isn’t considered criminal trespass.


• Warning or notice posted: In many states, laws require private land owners to install warning signage stating “No Trespassing Violators Will Be Prosecuted” on their property before they can prosecute any would be trespassers. While a property owner can directly tell a trespasser to leave the premises, there are other ways to provide notice that the area is off limits. As mentioned before, no trespassing signage is the most important way to give notice that your land is off limits, but you can also add a fence around your property as another means to give notice.


• Specific acts considered trespass: Beyond entering into private territory, other descriptions of trespassing can also outline specific criminal acts committed while on private property. For example, hunting or fishing on someone else’s land, cutting down trees or foliage without permission, or any form of vandalism can be a form of criminal trespass. Criminal trespass extends beyond private territory or structures, entering or remaining in a motor vehicle without the owner’s permission is considered a form of criminal trespass as well.

Display Customized No Trespassing Signs to Prevent Criminal Activity

Our stock standard no trespassing signage is the easy, effective choice to prevent unwanted visitors in places like vacant lots or even open pasturelands of farms. However, these may not be as noticeable in other situations. Our stock signage that indicates that there are no trespassers allowed may not send the appropriate message if it’s used by a high-end store, business complex or HOA. Custom No Trespassing Signage or private property signs not only look snazzier, but they also can include your company logo, HOA information or whatever other customization you may like along with your unique message. As part of your personalized message, you can include the local criminal code that covers trespassing. The would-be trespassers can look these codes up for themselves to learn how severe the punishment is if they ignore your signs, thus, the custom signage for no trespassing is more effective than stock signage is in almost every case.
