Summary
Posting a "No Soliciting," "No Solicitors," or "No Trespassing" sign near an Orem front door or property line puts every solicitor on notice to stay away. Even without a sign, no solicitor may knock before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. on weekdays, or before 9:00 a.m. on weekends and holidays, unless the resident gave prior permission.
Any resident may give notice of his or her unwillingness to listen to solicitations or receive Solicitors by displaying at his or her residence a placard or sign stating "No Soliciting," "No Solicitors," "No Trespassing" or words of similar import. Such placard or sign shall be posted on or near the main entrance door or on or near the property line adjacent to the sidewalk leading to the residence. ... It shall be unlawful for any Solicitor, whether a Registered Solicitor or not, to solicit any person at a residence before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. on business days, or before 9:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, or legal holidays as set forth in Utah Code Ann. § 63-13-2, unless the Solicitor has express prior permission from the resident to do so.
Full Breakdown
Orem City Code section 12-5-8(G) lets any resident post a placard reading "No Soliciting," "No Solicitors," "No Trespassing," or similar words on or near the main entrance door or on or near the property line adjacent to the sidewalk leading to the residence; that posting is legal notice to every solicitor that the resident will not listen. Subsection (H) requires solicitors to check each residence for such a sign before approaching, forbids knocking, ringing the bell, or using ruse or concealment to get an audience once a sign is posted, and requires an immediate, peaceful departure any time a resident asks the solicitor to leave.
section 63-13-2, unless the resident has given express prior permission to call outside those hours. Failing to post a sign is not, by itself, an invitation to solicit and does not exempt a solicitor from the separate registration requirement in the same section.
Violations & Fines
Knocking, ringing a doorbell, or using deception to reach an occupant of a residence bearing a posted "No Soliciting" sign, refusing to leave immediately when a resident asks, or soliciting outside the 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. weekday and 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. weekend and holiday windows without prior permission, are each violations of Section 12-5-8, punishable under subsection (K) as a class B misdemeanor with up to a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail.
