(f) Notice under this subsection may be provided by oral communication, written notice, posted signage, fencing, physical barriers, or other reasonably conspicuous means calculated to inform a reasonable person that entry or presence is forbidden. For purposes of this subsection, posted signs such as “No Trespassing” or “Private Property” shall constitute sufficient notice where the sign is reasonably visible and actually observed by the person.

(g) This subsection shall not apply where the person enters or remains upon the property by lawful authority, necessity, or privilege, or in good faith under a reasonable belief that such entry or presence was permitted.

Trespassing in the Second Degree is a Class D Felony.
