Summary

Flagstaff bans door-to-door solicitation at any building posted with a 'no peddlers' or 'no solicitors' sign, and bans it everywhere before 8:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m. City Code § 3-01-001-0010 makes ringing the doorbell or knocking under either condition unlawful, with the same petty-offense enforcement used against unlicensed solicitors.

3-01-001-0010 SOLICITATION PROHIBITED It shall be unlawful for any person in the course of business to ring the doorbell or knock at any building:

A. Where a sign bearing the words "no peddlers," "no solicitors" or similar wording is posted for public view; or

B. Before 8:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m.

Full Breakdown

City Code § 3-01-001-0010, titled SOLICITATION PROHIBITED, makes it unlawful for any person 'in the course of business' to ring the doorbell or knock at any building under two conditions: first, where a sign bearing the words 'no peddlers,' 'no solicitors' or similar wording is posted for public view, and second, before 8:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m., regardless of any sign. The rule sits in Chapter 3-01, the same chapter that defines 'Solicitor' as a person who goes uninvited from residence to residence, or to a single residence, offering to sell a service or tangible personal property, and 'Peddler' as someone using the public right-of-way to sell goods carried on their person or a bicycle, wagon, pushcart or vehicle.

Because § 3-01-001-0010 applies to any person acting 'in the course of business,' both peddlers and solicitors who are otherwise licensed under § 3-01-001-0002 remain bound by the sign and hours restriction; a business license does not override a posted no-solicitation sign or the 8:00 p.m. cutoff. Enforcement runs through § 3-01-001-0013: a City code enforcement officer or a state-certified peace officer can issue a written warning or citation, each day a violation continues can count as a separate offense, and the violation is a petty offense.

The same enforcement section lets the City pursue license denial, revocation or suspension under § 3-01-001-0011 against a licensed solicitor or peddler who is cited for ignoring a posted sign or the curfew hours, since any violation of the chapter is grounds for that action.

Violations & Fines

A person who rings a doorbell or knocks past a posted 'no peddlers' or 'no solicitors' sign, or who does so before 8:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m., commits a petty offense under §§ 3-01-001-0010 and 3-01-001-0013. Each violating day can be charged as a separate offense, a code enforcement officer or peace officer can cite on the spot, and a licensed solicitor or peddler risks having their business license denied, suspended or revoked for the same conduct.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I put up a 'no soliciting' sign to stop door-to-door sales in Flagstaff?
Yes. Under City Code § 3-01-001-0010, once a sign with words like 'no peddlers' or 'no solicitors' is posted for public view at a building, it is unlawful for anyone acting in the course of business to ring the doorbell or knock there, on top of the citywide hours restriction.
What hours can solicitors legally knock on doors in Flagstaff?
Solicitation is limited to between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. under § 3-01-001-0010. Knocking or ringing a doorbell in the course of business before 8:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m. is unlawful everywhere in the City, regardless of whether a no-solicitation sign is posted.
What can happen to a solicitor who ignores a no-soliciting sign in Flagstaff?
They can be cited on the spot by a City code enforcement officer or a peace officer under § 3-01-001-0013, face a petty offense charge with each day treated as a separate violation, and, if licensed, risk having that business license denied, suspended or revoked under § 3-01-001-0011.
