Chandler, AZ Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

Section 20-12(J) of the City Code gives Chandler property owners two separate tools. First, posting a sign bearing the words 'no peddlers,' 'no canvassers,' 'no solicitors,' 'or any combination of such terms or terms similar thereto' bars a peddler, solicitor, canvasser, or transient merchant, and their agents or representatives, from coming onto the premises at all; the statute doesn't require every word, just enough of that language to put a visitor on notice. Second, independent of any sign, the same subsection makes it unlawful for a covered person 'to remain on any premises after having been requested to leave by the owner or occupant thereof whether such premises is posted as above or not', so an unposted home can still order a solicitor off the property and have that request carry the force of Section 20-12.

This sits within the broader location-restriction list in Section 20-12, alongside the school buffer, median ban, and park permit requirement, and is enforced the same way: Section 20-13 assigns enforcement to Chandler Police Officers, who report violations to the Management Services Director for the permit record kept on every Chapter 20 permittee. Because the no-knock rule is a location restriction rather than an exemption, it applies even to a solicitor who otherwise holds a valid transient merchant permit under Section 20-2, the permit authorizes soliciting generally, but Section 20-12(J) still controls specific properties.
