Door-to-Door Solicitation

Information on Reporting a Solicitation Violation

In accordance with Chapter 8.20 of the Sandy Municipal Code (revised by the City Council on June 8, 2026) the City has established limitations on residential soliciting hours and the prohibition of door-to-door solicitors at residences posting "No Soliciting" signs.

It is unlawful for any person to:

1. Solicit before 9:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m. without the consent of the occupant to do so.

2. Leave written materials upon real property where a "No Solicitation" sign conforming to the requirements of this section is posted.

3. Solicit where a "No Solicitation" sign conforming to the requirements of this section is posted.

4. Allow or permit any person soliciting on their behalf or under their direction to commit any act prohibited by this section.

Effect of Posting "No Soliciting" Sign:

1. If an occupant of real property chooses to not invite solicitors, or certain types of solicitors, onto their property, the occupant may post a sign indicating their preference, such as a sign stating, "No Solicitation." The effect of posting a sign stating, "No Solicitation," or similar words to that effect, is to express the refusal of the occupant to grant consent to any person to enter their real property to solicit.

2. In order for a property to be deemed posted with a "No Soliciting" sign for purposes of this section, such sign must be at least one square foot in size.

3. A property shall be deemed posted with a "No Soliciting" sign for purposes of this section if a sign, as described in subsections 1. and 2. above, is posted on or near the boundaries of the property at the normal points of entry. For real property possessing no apparent barriers to entry at the boundaries of the property that limit access to the primary entrance of a structure located on the property, placement of a sign at the primary entrance to the structure constitutes compliance with this subsection.

4. Notwithstanding the limitations of Chapter 15.32, a person may post up to two signs, each one square foot in size, at the locations described in subsection 3. above, in addition to any signs permitted under Chapter 15.32.
