Arvada, CO Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

City Code § 62-61 defines a 'solicitor' as any person who solicits the purchase or sale of goods or services of any kind at a dwelling within Arvada, and 'soliciting at a dwelling' as entering the premises for that purpose. Subsection (b) makes it unlawful to solicit at any dwelling where a sign reading "NO SOLICITORS" or "NO SOLICITING" is conspicuously displayed, meaning the resident's own posted sign has independent legal force: officers do not need a citywide no-knock registry, because the sign itself creates the violation once a solicitor knocks anyway.

Subsection (c) goes further and applies even where no sign is posted at all: any solicitor who remains on the dwelling premises after the occupant verbally asks them to leave is in violation, regardless of signage. The ordinance traces to Ordinance No. 5-2. 00, imprisonment up to 364 days, or both, for an adult offender, with a matching fine cap but no jail exposure for juveniles absent contempt of a court order. Each day the violation continues is treated as a separate offense under § 1-5(d).
