How Aurora Handles Soliciting & Door-to-Door: A Practical Guide

By CityRuleLookup Editorial Team

Aurora maintains 198 local ordinances across all categories, and 2 of those deal specifically with soliciting & door-to-door. Here is a breakdown of what the city actually requires, what is prohibited, and where Aurora falls on the strict-to-permissive spectrum compared to other cities.

Solicitor Permits

Door-to-door solicitors in Aurora must obtain a Solicitor License from the Tax and Licensing Division, carry ID badges, and respect No Soliciting signs.

Key details: License Required: Commercial only. Hours: 9 AM - 8 PM or sunset. Badge: Must be visible. No Soliciting: Must be honored.

Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact [Aurora code enforcement](https://www.auroragov.org/business_services/tax_licensing) directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.

This is not one of those rules that cities tend to ignore. Aurora actively enforces its solicitor permits requirements.

Residents can post No Soliciting signs at entrances to legally bar commercial solicitors; violating a posted sign is a municipal offense subject to citation.

Key details: Sign Effect: Legal notice. First Offense: Up to 750. Do Not Knock: Registry available. Exemption: Religious/political.

Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact [Aurora code enforcement](https://www.auroragov.org/business_services/tax_licensing) directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.

The Bottom Line

Aurora's soliciting & door-to-door rules are a mixed bag. Some areas are strict, others are relaxed, and the details matter. The best approach is to check the specific rule that applies to your situation rather than assuming Aurora is broadly strict or permissive.

Keep in mind that Aurora can amend these rules at any council meeting. For the most current version of any rule mentioned here, check the specific ordinance page, where we track updates as they happen.
