Prescott Valley, AZ Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

The only time-of-day rule on door-to-door selling in the Town of Prescott Valley sits in section 8-01-020(B)(5) of the Town Code. It makes it unlawful for any peddler, solicitor or transient merchant to operate from door to door, from place to place, from house to house, from street to street, or from business to business earlier than 9:00 a.m. or later than 7:00 p.m. on any day. The words on any day mean the window is the same on weekends and holidays. The rule reaches business-to-business calls as well as residential ones.

Article 8-01 as printed has no section creating a no-solicitation list, a do-not-knock registry or a posted-sign program, and a search of the Town Code found no such provision. A resident who does not want callers has the hours limit, the license requirement and the conduct rule in section 8-01-020(B)(4), which prohibits conducting the business in an unlawful manner or in a way that breaches the peace or menaces the health, safety or general welfare of the public.

Solicitors must also hold a Town license from the Town Clerk. Section 8-01-070 requires the licensee to exhibit the original license at the request of any citizen, and a copy or facsimile does not count. Section 8-01-080 makes it the duty of the Prescott Valley police to require anyone peddling, soliciting or canvassing, and not known to the officer to be licensed, to produce the license and to enforce the article.

Section 8-01-030 limits who is covered. People who have had prior contact with the owners or occupants and have been invited to a private residence to make sales, solicit orders or deliver goods are exempt from the chapter. Section 8-01-030(E) also states that nothing in the chapter prohibits religious, charitable and other federally exempt organizations from soliciting money, donations or financial assistance, or distributing literature, by house-to-house canvass or in public places. Residents who see a caller outside the window can report it to the Prescott Valley Police Department.
