Full Breakdown
West Valley City Municipal Code section 17-4-117 lets any occupant post a "No Solicitation" sign near the entrance door or property line, which constitutes notice that solicitors are not invited; solicitors must check for the sign and honor it, even if exempt from registration. Section 17-4-118 makes it a violation to knock, ring the doorbell, or otherwise attempt to attract attention at a residence bearing such a sign. Section 17-4-119 separately bars door-to-door solicitation before 9:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. Mountain Time without the resident's express prior permission.
Violations & Fines
Knocking or ringing a doorbell at a residence displaying a No Solicitation sign, or soliciting outside the 9 a.m.-9 p.m. window without permission, violates Chapter 17-4 and is a Class B misdemeanor under section 17-4-121 (up to $1,000 fine, six months jail).
