Aurora, CO Public Conduct: Aggressive Panhandling (2026)

Aurora City Code § 94-116 makes it unlawful to 'aggressively beg' in any public place citywide, and on private property once the owner or their representative tells the person to leave or posts a sign barring solicitation. Section 94-114 defines 'aggressively beg' as begging with intent to intimidate someone into giving money, goods, or alms. Subsection (c) lists evidence of that intent: touching without consent, following to prolong the encounter, directing profane or abusive language at someone who declines, or threatening violence verbally or by gesture. A companion section, § 94-117, separately bars soliciting from vehicle occupants on streets or medians.
