🟪 Think a splash of purple paint is just for decoration? Think again.
In Missouri, a simple purple mark on a tree or fence could cost you more than just a dirty look—it could land you with trespassing charges. 👀
Welcome to the world of the Purple Paint Law, a clever and longstanding way of marking private property—and now, more states are catching on.
🏕️ Why This Law is a Game-Changer for Landowners
Forget flimsy signs that get knocked down, faded by the sun, or ripped off by pranksters. A purple square or stripe painted on trees, posts, or fences:
✅ Clearly marks private property
✅ Is legally recognized (in qualifying states)
✅ Stays put—weatherproof, tamper-proof, and easy to apply
✅ Can mean No Trespassing, No Hunting, or both
In Missouri, these marks have legal weight—meaning you’re officially warned, and prosecution is fair game if you cross the line.
🧐 Is the Purple Paint Law in YOUR State?
With more states considering or adopting similar laws, it’s worth checking whether your state recognizes No Hunting Purple Aerosol as a legit boundary warning.
