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

Section 9.04.090, titled 'Invitation required to enter posted premises,' makes it unlawful for any solicitor or peddler to go upon a premises in the City unless invited, once the owner or occupant has shown a desire not to be contacted by placing a 'no solicitors' sign on the property. The rule is self-executing: it does not require the resident to register with the Police Department or the City Clerk, only to post the sign, and it applies to any premises, residential or commercial. It sits in Chapter 9.04, 'Offenses,' alongside other public-order rules the Grand Junction Police Department enforces, such as trespass under § 9.04.080 and disorderly conduct earlier in the chapter; a solicitor who ignores a posted sign and remains after being told to leave can also be charged with trespass.

The section traces to the 1994 and 1965 codes (former § 24-9 and § 17-85), showing it has stood as a City rule for decades rather than a recent addition. It does not create a citywide registry of no-solicitation addresses or set specific canvassing hours; the posted sign itself is the entire mechanism the ordinance relies on, so enforcement rests on an officer, or the property owner filing a complaint, pointing to a visibly posted sign the solicitor passed.
