Summary
Any Taylorsville resident can post a "no solicitation" sign at the main entrance or property line, and it is a chapter violation for a solicitor, permitted or exempt, to knock, ring the doorbell, or otherwise try to get attention at a home displaying one. The city also bars all door-to-door solicitation before 9:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.
5.86.170: "NO SOLICITATION" NOTICE: ... A. Any occupant of a residence may give notice of a desire to refuse solicitors by displaying a "no solicitation" sign which 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. ... ... C. It shall be the responsibility of the solicitor to check each residence for the presence of any such notice. ... 5.86.180: ... DUTIES OF SOLICITORS: ... ... B. It is a violation of this chapter for any person soliciting or advocating to knock on the door, ring the doorbell, or in any other manner attempt to attract the attention of an occupant of a residence that bears a "no solicitation" sign or similar sign or placard for the purpose of engaging in or attempting to engage in advocating, a home solicitation sale, door to door soliciting, or soliciting. ... 5.86.190: ... TIME OF DAY RESTRICTIONS: It shall be unlawful for any person, whether licensed or not, to solicit at a residence before nine o'clock (9:00) A.M. or after nine o'clock (9:00) P.M. Mountain Time, unless the solicitor has express prior permission from the resident to do so.
Full Breakdown
Section 5.86.170 of the Taylorsville City Code lets any occupant refuse solicitors simply by displaying a "no solicitation" sign near the main entrance door or near the property line by the sidewalk leading to the residence; the posted sign itself is legal notice that the occupant does not want solicitors, and checking for it before approaching is the solicitor's responsibility. Section 5.86.180(B) turns that notice into an enforceable prohibition: it is a violation of the chapter for anyone soliciting or advocating to knock, ring the doorbell, or otherwise attempt to attract the attention of an occupant at a residence bearing a no-solicitation sign, and holding a valid permit does not excuse it.
The same duty section requires a solicitor asked to leave to depart immediately and peacefully, bars following anyone into a residence without consent, and prohibits repeated solicitation after a clear refusal. Section 5.86.190 layers on a citywide curfew: soliciting at any residence before 9:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. Mountain Time is unlawful for every solicitor, licensed or not, unless the resident has given express prior permission to come outside those hours. Section 5.86.040(and the closing line of 5.86.040) makes clear that even persons exempt from the permit requirement, such as political canvassers and charitable solicitors, still must obey the no-solicitation-sign and time-of-day duties in 5.86.170 through 5.86.190. A violation of these no-knock and curfew rules is enforced the same way as the rest of chapter 5.86.
Violations & Fines
Knocking, ringing a doorbell, or otherwise trying to attract a resident's attention at a home posted with a "no solicitation" sign, or soliciting before 9:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. Mountain Time, is a violation of chapter 5.86 under section 5.86.210: a class B misdemeanor carrying a fine of up to $1,000 and/or up to six months in jail, enforced by the Taylorsville Police Department regardless of whether the solicitor holds a valid permit.
