§ 94.10. SECURE DELIVERY AND UNWANTED PUBLICATIONS.

(A)

Secure Delivery. No person shall deposit or throw any commercial or noncommercial handbill in or upon any private premises which are inhabited, except by handing or transmitting such handbill directly to the owner, occupant or other person then present in or upon such private premises or by hanging the handbill or other material on the doorknob in such a way that it is secure and will not blow onto public or other private property. Subscribed newspapers may be delivered to inhabited private premises in a manner to secure or prevent the paper from being blown or drifted from the premises and the manner of placement as agreed between the parties to the agreement.

(B)

Unsubscribed Newspapers. Unsubscribed newspapers may be delivered to inhabited private premises in a manner to secure or prevent the paper from being blown or drafted from the premises only if the owner of such premises does not make a request that the nonsubscribed newspaper not be delivered. No delivery shall be made to vacant or uninhabited private premises. Upon written notice that delivery is not requested or the property is vacant or uninhabited, or from clear visual observation the property is vacant or uninhabited, the publisher of the newspaper shall cease delivery.
