To sign up on the Trespass Bar Program it must be a multi-family unit (with ten or more units), commercial business, property owned by the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority, or property owned by the City of Roanoke. You cannot sign up on property that is residential, parcels of land, or abandoned/condemned property. The Trespass Bar Program gives officers the authority to enforce the trespass laws in your absence. In order to be eligible to participate in the Trespass Bar Program, there must be "No Trespassing" signs posted at the entrances of your property. 

To sign up for the Trespass Bar Authorization Program, please call the Roanoke E-911 Center non-emergency number at (540)344-6681 and ask for an officer to respond to your location with a Trespass Bar Letter. The Letter must be signed in the presence of an officer.
