Scottsdale requires door-to-door solicitors to obtain a permit and carry identification. Solicitors must comply with posted 'No Soliciting' signs. It is a violation to distribute printed materials to residents who have announced they do not wish to receive them.
Scottsdale regulates door-to-door solicitation through its business licensing and nuisance ordinances. Commercial solicitors must obtain a permit from the city and carry identification while soliciting. Solicitors must respect posted 'No Soliciting' signs on individual properties. The Scottsdale Revised Code makes it a violation to distribute printed materials including handbills, fliers, and door hangers to residents who have announced they do not wish to receive them. Religious, political, and charitable solicitation enjoy greater constitutional protection but must still comply with time, place, and manner restrictions. Solicitation hours are generally restricted to reasonable daytime hours. Scottsdale Police enforce solicitation regulations and respond to complaints about aggressive or unlicensed solicitors.
Soliciting without a permit, ignoring 'No Soliciting' signs, or distributing unwanted materials may result in citations and fines.
