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

Ogden City Code § 5-13A-2 makes it unlawful to engage in peddling or solicitation within the city without first obtaining a license from the business license coordinator. Two categories are exempt from licensing, though not from the article's conduct rules: persons soliciting or requesting contributions for political, charitable, educational or religious purposes, and persons representing a fixed place of business who make regular deliveries on an established route, such as milkmen or newspaper carriers, who only occasionally solicit new customers along that route. Section 5-13A-3 requires the application to include the applicant's residence and business address and identification, a description of the activity, employer or principal information, proof of state commerce department registration, a special events sales tax number, and disclosure of civil judgments, injunctions, felony or specified misdemeanor convictions, parole or probation status, and prior license denials, revocations or suspensions within five years (one year for prior violations).

Applicants must also submit an original or copy of a Bureau of Criminal Identification background check. Once issued, § 5-13A-9 requires the licensee to display the identification card or badge on request. Violating any provision of Article A is a class B misdemeanor under § 5-13A-11.
