Summary

Homeowners can shut the door on solicitors under Town Code Section 8-2-13: posting a no peddlers or no solicitors sign, or simply asking a solicitor to leave, makes it unlawful for that peddler, solicitor or transient merchant to remain or return.

It is unlawful for any peddler, solicitor or transient merchant, their agents or representatives, to come upon any premises whereon a sign bearing the words "no peddlers," "no solicitors," “no transient merchants,” “no “door-to-door salesmen,” or any combination of such terms or terms similar thereto is exposed to public view. It is also unlawful for any peddler, solicitor or transient merchant, their agents or representatives to remain on any premises after having been requested to leave by the owner or occupant thereof whether such premises are posted as specified above or not.

Full Breakdown

Section 8-2-13 of the Town Code gives Queen Creek residents two separate tools to keep solicitors away. First, it is unlawful for any peddler, solicitor or transient merchant, their agents or representatives, to come onto a property where a sign reading no peddlers, no solicitors, no transient merchants, no door-to-door salesmen, or similar wording is visible from outside. Second, and independent of any posted sign, it is unlawful for the same categories of solicitor to remain on a premises after the owner or occupant has asked them to leave, so a resident without a sign can still order a solicitor off the property and have that refusal carry legal weight.

The rule reaches licensed as well as unlicensed solicitors: holding a valid Section 8-2-1 peddler's license does not create a right to ignore a posted sign or a homeowner's request to leave. The provision sits within Article 8-2, the same article that requires solicitors to carry a Town-issued identification card under Section 8-2-7 and that lets the Lead Customer Service Representative revoke a license for conduct that breaches the peace or menaces public safety under Section 8-2-11, so a pattern of ignoring posted signs can jeopardize a solicitor's license on top of any individual citation.

Violations & Fines

Article 8-2 has no dedicated penalty clause, so entering a posted property or refusing to leave when asked falls under the Town's default Civil Offense schedule in Town Code Section 9-21-2, a $250 fine for a first offense rising to $500 and then $2,000 within a twelve-month period; the Town can also revoke the solicitor's license under Section 8-2-11.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a 'No Solicitors' sign have legal effect in Queen Creek?
Yes. Town Code Section 8-2-13 makes it unlawful for a peddler, solicitor or transient merchant to come onto a property displaying a sign with wording like no peddlers or no solicitors, regardless of whether that solicitor holds a valid Town license.
What if I don't have a sign but tell a solicitor to leave?
Section 8-2-13 covers that too: it is separately unlawful for a peddler, solicitor or transient merchant to remain on a premises after being asked to leave by the owner or occupant, sign or no sign.
Can a solicitor lose their license for ignoring posted signs?
Yes. Section 8-2-11 lets the Town revoke a license for conducting business in a manner that breaches the peace or threatens public health, safety or welfare, and repeated Section 8-2-13 violations support that finding.
