Scottsdale residents can post 'No Soliciting' or 'Do Not Disturb' signs that solicitors must legally respect. Arizona does not have a statewide do-not-knock registry, but local enforcement of posted signage is supported by Scottsdale ordinances.
Scottsdale enforces residents' right to post 'No Soliciting' signs that commercial solicitors must respect. While Arizona does not maintain a statewide do-not-knock registry (unlike some states), Scottsdale's ordinances provide protection through the requirement that solicitors observe posted signs and not distribute unwanted materials. Religious, political, and charitable canvassers have greater constitutional protection but are still expected to respect clearly posted signs. Many Scottsdale HOAs provide 'No Soliciting' signs to homeowners as part of community standards. The Scottsdale Police Department handles complaints about solicitors who ignore posted signs or engage in aggressive solicitation. Residents who receive unwanted solicitation can report it through Scottsdale's non-emergency police line.
Solicitors who ignore posted 'No Soliciting' signs may be cited. Aggressive or threatening solicitation may result in criminal charges.
