Trespassing Info

Before trespassing becomes an issue for your property, it can be valuable to have an Authority to Arrest Trespassers form on file. An Authority to Arrest Trespassers gives Maricopa County Sheriff Office permission to arrest people trespassing on your property.

No Trespassing signs MUST be posted on the property.

"No Trespassing" signs are recommended to be placed around your property and are REQUIRED with the the Authority to Arrest Trespassers form. No Trespassing signs can be purchased through sign companies. Below are examples of No Trespassing signs with the proper legal verbiage. The signs need to be placed at all reasonable entrances, as well as every so often throughout the property. They could be mounted on fences or buildings. They should be mounted at a height where they are visible, but not so low that they can be easily removed, damaged or tampered with.

Install signage at all common entrances to the property.

Minimum recommended size is 18" by 24", bilingual, and made of metal.
