There is a law in Louisiana, commonly known as the "Purple Paint Law", that says if someone marks their property with purple paint, its the same as a "No Trespassing" sign. It's actually a part of Louisiana Revised Statute title 14, section 63, titled Criminal Trespass. Here's what the section on purple paint reads:
(2) The placement of identifying purple paint marks on the trees or posts on the property, provided that such marks are:
(a) Vertical lines of not less than eight inches in length and not less than one inch in width.
(b) Placed so that the bottom of the mark is not less than three feet from the ground nor more than five feet from the ground.
(c) Placed at locations that are readily visible to any person approaching the property and no more than one hundred feet apart on forest land, as defined in R.S. 3:3622 , or one thousand feet apart on land other than forest land.

Purple & gold paint means you can't cross the goal line

Yes. Mike Wampold, the big time developer in La has his entire property boundary of about 4000 acres marked with paint.

As I went walking I saw a sign there,
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing.
This land was made for you and me.

The purple paint is the universal sign for No Tresspassing and is used everywhere….mot just in Louisiana

Yes use purple paint and no trespassing signs on my properties

Some people have the legal right to go on other peoples property without their permission because they’re there on behalf of the assessor. Idk if that’s the case for Louisiana though
Posted on 4/24/24 at 11:35 pm to Havoc
That’s why people like to paint their house purple I guess

It’s not a legal requirement to post your property to keep it private. The law says that you know if you own the property you are standing on or not. If you don’t own it, you need written permission to be on it.

This isn’t just for Louisiana. Just FYI.

Does it give the property owner license to air them out if they are on his land without permission?
That's really the most important question.

I trained my deer dogs to follow the purple paint signs

Landowners don’t have to mark shite. If you do not have written permission stay the F off.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but this isn't exclusive to LA. Thanks.

I like that part of it. The spacing is sensible. We found that signs can be torn down, but paint is harder to remove when we posted our land since the previous owners had given permission to toomany people. ,many from out of the county.

Good Law. Not exclusive to LA. Other states have it too.
