Colorado Springs requires door-to-door solicitors to obtain a Commercial Solicitor Permit under CSCC §2.4.105 — background check and visible badge required. El Paso County unincorporated requires no county permit, but Fountain, Monument, and Manitou Springs have separate ordinances. Hours limited to 9 AM-8 PM.
Colorado Springs City Code §2.4.105 requires commercial solicitors (door-to-door salespersons, peddlers, transient merchants) to obtain a Solicitor's Permit from the City Clerk. Application requires government ID, background check through CBI (Colorado Bureau of Investigation), $50-$100 fee, and may require a bond for larger sales operations. Permits valid 90 days. Solicitors must carry and display photo ID badges while canvassing. Soliciting hours: 9 AM-8 PM Monday-Saturday, 10 AM-6 PM Sunday. Religious, political, and charitable (501(c)(3)) canvassing exempt under First Amendment — Watchtower Bible & Tract Society v. Stratton (2002) precedent. Charitable registration under C.R.S. §6-16-104 may still apply. Manitou Springs, Monument, Palmer Lake, and Fountain maintain parallel permitting.

USAFA, Peterson, and Fort Carson restrict all solicitation by federal regulation. Post-COVID, door-to-door solar sales driven by Xcel/CSU programs have driven the most complaints and enforcement actions.
