door to door sales laws utah
Door to door sales laws Utah start with Title 70C
Knockdesk is field sales software for teams that sell in person. Door to door sales laws Utah are Utah Code 70C-5-102, the city solicitor badge, and the one-party rule in 77-23a-4. A solicitor permit Utah is Salt Lake City, Provo, or St. George, not a state card. Census ranks St. George fifth among Utah cities, ahead of Orem. This page is general information, not legal advice.

| In-person recording consent | Utah Code 77-23a-4(7)(b) lets a person not acting under color of law intercept a wire, electronic, or oral communication if that person is a party or one party gave prior consent, unless the interception is for a criminal or tortious act. | https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title77/Chapter23a/C77-23a-S4_1800010118000101.pdf |

The cancel
70C-5 is a consumer credit home sale
Door to door solicitation laws Utah do not copy A.R.S. 44-5002. Title 70C Chapter 5 applies when the deal is a consumer credit sale solicited at a residence or place of employment. A cash home sale may still sit under the FTC rule. The words BUYER'S RIGHT TO CANCEL are the 70C-5-103 caption.
| Rule | Window | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Utah Code 70C-5-102 | Midnight of the third business day after the buyer signs a complying agreement, with an emergency-performance exception | https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title70C/Chapter5/C70C-5_1800010118000101.pdf |
| Utah Code 70C-5-103 | Written agreement with a conspicuous BUYER'S RIGHT TO CANCEL statement. FTC notice counts if totally consistent with the title. | https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title70C/Chapter5/C70C-5_1800010118000101.pdf |
| FTC cooling-off rule | Three business days on covered home sales of $25 or more | https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-16/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-429 |
The talk
77-23a-4 is the Utah recording section
Utah's interception statute is in the Code of Criminal Procedure, not the Penal Code Texas uses. One party can consent unless the purpose is a crime or a tort. Knockdesk still asks before Start Recording.
In-person recording
77-23a-4(7)(b): a party, or prior consent from one party, unless the interception is for a criminal or tortious act.
Employee monitoring notice
None found on le.utah.gov for a statewide employee electronic monitoring notice law.
On the desk
Consent is verbal, written, or captured on the recording. Skip Recording leaves the visit and no file.
The permit
Five Utah cities, five solicitor badges
A solicitor permit Utah is a city certificate and a photo badge. Salt Lake City Code 5.64.130 requires a permit for face-to-face solicitation at a residence or place of employment. West Valley City Chapter 17-4 registers solicitors. West Jordan requires a residential solicitation license through business licensing. Provo publishes a yearly solicitor permit. St. George publishes a residential solicitation permit checklist. Those five cities are the Census top five.

The list
Utah cities publish signs, not open registries
None found on the Salt Lake City, West Valley City, West Jordan, Provo, or St. George official pages for a no-knock registry you can open. West Valley City Code 17-4-117 is a posted No Solicitation sign. Publication 25 still tells a seller with presence in Utah to collect sales tax.

| Salt Lake City, West Valley City, West Jordan, Provo, St. George | None found on those official city pages for an openable no-knock registry. | City permit pages in the table above |
| West Valley City sign rule | Chapter 17-4-117 lets an occupant post a No Solicitation sign. That is a sign rule, not a registry. | https://westvalleycity.municipal.codes/Code/17-4 |

The pin
The badge does not write Friday's turf
Provo can issue the yearly badge and the manager still cannot see which door was logged. Knockdesk writes the knock on the address so the territory and the turf stay in one place. The rows on this panel are a sample, not a customer week.
