Purple paint law

[tall@wide]

Does Iowa have a purple paint law indicating no trespassing? When I was in Illinois, I always saw purple paint. In Iowa, I have never seen it.

No we don’t! A few years back they tried for two years to get it passed. They failed every time

It’s on the person to know where they are, not the landowner to show a person property lines. If you don’t know don’t go.

Yes, I saw on a goggle search that some articles say Iowa does have it, and others say it doesn't. I have a small farm I bought, and it has some deer drives nearby. I am going to post it and was hoping to use purple paint.

We do in PA but not many landowners do it. I might do some purple markings on a section of the property that I don't go into much since I want it to be a sanctuary. I'm tired of a-holes ripping my signs down and sneaking in, even with Reveal signs warning of cell cams in use!

I'm glad

I'm glad we don't have purple painted all over the countryside, mainly because I despise that color

I wish that's how the law was enforced.

I only mean Iowa does not require signs or fencing to pursue a trespassing violation. A person needs permission to be there. I had one trespassing issue with Amish years ago and it was resolved by the county Sheriff.

Iowa does not have a purple paint law, but I think Missouri, along with several other states, does. FWIW, when I worked for Hunter's Specialties years ago, they had a boundary tape product that came in three different colors, per the rules that existed for various states. Purple, red and yellow were the colors as I recall.
