Logan, UT Soliciting & Door-to-Door: Solicitor Permits (2026)

Chapter 5.31 of the Logan Municipal Code makes door-to-door solicitation in Logan City, Utah a registered activity. Section 5.31.050 prohibits solicitors from being in and upon a private residence for home solicitation sales or to provide goods or services unless authorized, permitted or exempted under the chapter. Section 5.31.060 requires everyone who intends to solicit door to door to submit a completed application to the licensing officer and obtain a certificate before starting.

Exemptions in § 5.31.040 cover people invited to a residence beforehand by a competent individual, people whose state license or registration allows door to door solicitation, delivery and service visits made on a prior order or request, religious or political advocacy, and charitable organizations. Students soliciting for school programs qualify only with written approval from school administration and current picture student identification. Exempt solicitors still owe the duties in §§ 5.31.170, 5.31.180 and 5.31.190.

The application under § 5.31.070 asks for the legal name and any aliases from the last ten years, contact details, in-person proof of identity with a photo ID, proof of registration with the Utah state department of commerce, a special events sales tax number, the goods or services offered, a BCI background check with a signed waiver, and answers to questions on disqualifying status such as felony homicide, controlled substance sales or sexual assault convictions. The applicant swears the answers are true under penalty of perjury. The fee cannot exceed the reasonable cost of processing the application and issuing the certificate or identification badge.

A temporary certificate lets the applicant start immediately once the application, fee and proof of identity are in and neither the application nor the BCI shows a disqualifying status (§ 5.31.100). Under § 5.31.080 a request for a temporary certificate is granted or denied the same business day. It expires after 25 calendar days or when an annual certificate is granted or denied, whichever is shorter. Within that period the city verifies the information and notifies the applicant whether an annual certificate will issue. The annual certificate is valid for one year from the date the temporary certificate was issued and expires at 12:00 midnight on the anniversary.

The solicitor carries the certificate at all times and wears an identification badge showing name, photograph and expiration date (§ 5.31.110). Certificates are nontransferable. Switching goods or responsible entity requires a written change request and a revised badge after the badge fee is paid (§ 5.31.130). A denied or suspended applicant has ten business days to appeal in writing to the city recorder, and the appeals officer decides within fifteen calendar days (§ 5.31.150).
