Lake Havasu City, AZ Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

City Code § 5.08.020(B)(7) states it is unlawful for any peddler, solicitor, or transient merchant, in the course of business, to ring the doorbell or knock at any building where a sign containing some or all of the words 'no peddlers, solicitors/solicitation, and/or transient merchants' is displayed. The chapter does not create a separate city-run do-not-solicit registry; the posted sign itself is the operative notice, and a resident enforces it simply by displaying one at the entrance. The same subsection carries several companion prohibitions that apply to the same licensed sellers: § 5.08.020(B)(1) bars selling, offering to sell, or exhibiting for sale and delivery on any street, alley, sidewalk, or right-of-way; § 5.08.020(B)(2) bars operating in a congested area where a police officer, acting in good faith, judges that operation impedes or inconveniences public use; § 5.08.020(B)(4) bars displaying any sign, including temporary signs, on the exterior of a structure being used for sales; and § 5.08.020(B)(5) requires prior city approval of any property or structure used for selling or delivery, with that approval listed on the license.

Enforcement runs through the Lake Havasu City Police Department, which under § 5.08.090 must demand a license from anyone found peddling or soliciting who is not known to be licensed and must enforce the chapter against violators. Because the no-knock duty is tied to the peddler/solicitor licensing chapter, it binds only licensees and unlicensed door-to-door sellers covered by Chapter 5.08; it does not itself set curfew hours for canvassing, which the code does not separately fix in this chapter.
