Logan, UT Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

Chapter 5.31 of the Logan Municipal Code sets the rules for door to door solicitation in Logan City, Utah, and the opt-out tool it gives residents is a sign, not a sign-up list. Under § 5.31.170, any occupant of a residence gives notice by displaying a "no solicitation" sign posted on or near the main entrance door or on or near the property line adjacent to the sidewalk leading to the residence. The display is deemed notice that the inhabitant does not desire to receive or invite solicitors, and the burden of checking each residence sits on the solicitor.

Section 5.31.180 turns the sign into a hard stop. Every person soliciting or advocating must check for a sign, desist, and immediately depart if one is posted. Holding a certificate of registration does not relieve a solicitor of that duty. Knocking, ringing the doorbell or otherwise trying to attract the attention of an occupant at a signed residence is itself a violation. The same section bars ruse or deception to secure an audience, requires a solicitor who is asked to leave to depart immediately and peacefully, and prohibits following a person into a residence without explicit consent, repeated soliciting after a clear statement of no interest, unconsented physical contact, and obscene language or gestures.

The sign duties reach people who are exempt from registration. Section 5.31.170(D) applies to them, and § 5.31.040 keeps exempt persons, including those advocating a religious belief or political position and those representing a charitable organization, bound by §§ 5.31.170, 5.31.180 and 5.31.190 while advocating or soliciting. Hours come from § 5.31.190: before 9:00 A.M. or after 9:00 P.M. Mountain Time is unlawful for any person, licensed or not, unless the resident gave express prior permission.

Solicitors who are not exempt register first under § 5.31.060. A temporary certificate expires after twenty five (25) calendar days or on grant or denial of an annual certificate, whichever is shorter (§ 5.31.100). The identification badge must show the solicitor's name, a recent photograph and the certificate expiration date (§ 5.31.110). The licensing officer keeps a registry of applications, certificates and denials open to public inspection, with the BCI background check kept confidential (§ 5.31.120).
