Twin Falls, ID Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

The rule sits in Twin Falls City Code § 3-14-12, Unlawful Conduct, within Chapter 14 on transient merchants, vendors, peddlers and solicitors. It begins 'No licensee hereunder shall' and then lists what a licensed solicitor cannot do. Two items work as the city's no-knock rules.

Subsection (D) bars a licensee from continuing efforts to solicit from an individual once that individual informs the solicitor that he does not wish to give anything to or to buy anything from that solicitor. The refusal can be spoken; nothing in the section requires a form or a sign. Subsection (F) bars a licensee from entering upon any premises posted with a sign stating 'No Peddlers Allowed' or other words to such effect. A homeowner or business that wants the protection posts the sign; the wording 'or other words to such effect' covers variations such as 'No Soliciting'.

The same list adds related limits. Subsection (A) bars physical contact with the person solicited unless that person gives permission. Subsections (B) and (C) bar misrepresenting the purpose or the affiliation of the solicitors, and (E) bars presenting the city license as an endorsement of the solicitation.

What the chapter does not print matters for residents. The licensing and conduct sections set no daily hours for door-to-door solicitation and create no registry of households that opt out, so the sign and the verbal refusal are the tools the code gives. Handbill delivery is separate: § 6-8-1(B) prohibits throwing or placing advertising matter on any lawn, sidewalk, street or vehicle and requires it to be placed inside the screen or door, under the door, in the jamb, or in a receptacle made for it. A license is a precondition for solicitors under § 3-14-2, and the Twin Falls Police Department examines compliance under § 3-14-9.
