Soliciting & Door-to-Door in Cheyenne, WY: What Residents Actually Need to Know

By CityRuleLookup Editorial Team

If you live in Cheyenne or are thinking about moving there, soliciting & door-to-door are one of those things you probably won't think about until they affect you directly. Cheyenne has 2 specific rules on the books covering different aspects of soliciting & door-to-door, and some of them might surprise you.

No-Knock Registry

Cheyenne backs posted "no solicitors" signs with force of law and bars door-to-door sales before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m.

Key details: Posted sign: Legally bars uninvited solicitors. Curfew: No soliciting before 10 a.m.. Curfew end: No soliciting after 7 p.m.. Badge: City-issued ID required to solicit. Enforcement: Police chief; misdemeanor citation.

Misdemeanor under the Ch. 1.24 general penalty; the police chief can also revoke the offender's license badge and issue a citation.

Solicitor Permits

Cheyenne requires a residential door-to-door solicitor to hold a city clerk-issued business license and a photo-ID badge, pass a police background check, and solicit only between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Key details: License fee: $100 per 14-day period. Badge fee: $15 per solicitor. Permitted hours: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. only. Group limit: Two solicitors per location. Issuing office: Cheyenne city clerk.

A violation is a misdemeanor under the Chapter 1.24 general penalty; each incident counts as a separate offense, and the chief of police can revoke a solicitor's badge and cite the individual for breaking Section 5.76.050's conduct rules.

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

The Bottom Line

Cheyenne'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 Cheyenne is broadly strict or permissive.

These rules come from Cheyenne's publicly available municipal code. For complete penalty schedules, exemption details, and answers to common questions, see the individual ordinance pages throughout this guide.
