Eagle Mountain, Utah: door-to-door solicitor permit

• The answer: Yes — a certificate of registration for each rep, plus a city-issued photo ID badge (5.25.060, 5.25.110). Anyone seeking orders or prospective customers for goods or services must register (5.25.040). The city's own solicitor page says each individual solicitor, not just the company, must be licensed.
• Where it comes from: The city licensing officer takes the completed application and issues the certificate (5.25.060, 5.25.100). The city links an online Solicitation License Application from its Business Licensing page.
• Fee: The Consolidated Fee Schedule (updated July 1, 2026), under Temporary Licenses (Canvassers, Solicitors, and Other Itinerant Merchants), lists a $75.00 application fee and a license fee of $10.00 for ten consecutive calendar days. The code itself sets no dollar figure (5.25.070(I)).
• Hours you may knock: The code sets no knocking hours. The time-of-day section was repealed by Ord. O-28-2024 (5.25.190).
• What the rep carries: The certificate, carried at all times while soliciting, and the city identification badge worn prominently on the person; the badge shows the rep's name, a recent photograph and the expiration date (5.25.110). At the door the rep must immediately disclose name, company and purpose; the badge and a flyer can satisfy this (5.25.160).
• What takes the time: A completed application includes an Internet-based background check form and two copies of the ID used to prove identity (5.25.030, 5.25.070(G)). A temporary certificate is granted or denied the same business day a completed application is submitted, and it lasts up to 25 calendar days while the city decides on the annual certificate (5.25.080, 5.25.100).
• Code: Eagle Mountain Municipal Code, Chapter 5.25 — Residential Solicitation (5.25.010 to 5.25.210). Code Publishing shows the code current through Ordinance O-34-2026, passed August 4, 2026.
• Worth knowing: No knocking or ringing at a home with a "No Solicitation" sign, and a rep asked to leave must leave at once; this binds registered and unregistered solicitors alike (5.25.170, 5.25.180). A registered solicitor needs no other city license to go door to door (5.25.020). A person whose Utah state license lets them solicit door to door is exempt from registering (5.25.040(B)).

Ask the clerk, and write the answer down:

• Whether the $10.00 license covers only ten days, while the code describes an annual certificate, and what a rep pays to cover a full season
• Whether the $75.00 application fee is per rep or per company
• What the Internet-based background check costs and who pays it
