Longer trespass warnings for owners and renters

The law extends trespass warnings from 24 months to 36 months. If someone willfully enters or stays on your land or in your building (not a burglary) after a lawful warning within 36 months, it is a misdemeanor, unless a higher penalty applies under other law. A warning can be shown by fluorescent orange paint marks that are at least 50 square inches, placed in sight of each other no more than 1,000 feet apart and at corners. A fence that shows you mean to block access counts, but barbed wire does not. You can also post “No Trespassing” signs at corners and at least every 500 feet, show the land is planted (cultivated), or give a guest an oral or written demand to leave. It is prima facie evidence of trespass if someone is on posted or fenced property without lawful business with you.
