Door-to-door solicitation in Utah County requires municipal permits. Provo City Code §5.40.030 requires commercial solicitors to apply to Provo Police Department, submit to a BCI (Bureau of Criminal Identification) background check, and carry a photo identification badge with permit number visible. Orem City Code §5-10-4 parallels requirements. Permits typically valid 90 days with $50 to $150 fee. Soliciting hours restricted to 9 AM to sundown or 9 PM, whichever earlier, per both codes. Religious canvassing (LDS missionaries, Jehovah's Witnesses) is constitutionally protected under Watchtower Bible v. Village of Stratton (2002) and exempt from permit requirements. Political canvassing exempt. Utah Code §76-6-206 trespass applies to entry after demand to leave. Pest control, solar, and alarm sales are common commercial solicitors in the area with heavy summer canvassing.
