Solicitor Ordinances

Both the HOA and the District do not (and cannot) implement any rules or restrictions regarding solicitors.  However, Commerce City ordinances regarding solicitors do apply to the Second Creek Farm neighborhood.

Commerce City Ordinances - Circulars and Printed Materials

Commerce City ordinance Section 6-2001 states:

“It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to place on or in, fasten, affix or attach to private property, including motor vehicles and other personal property, in any way, any commercial or noncommercial circular, without the permission of the owner or occupants of such property. Permission to fasten such materials to the entrances of private residences shall be implied from the presence of an improved walkway connecting such residence directly to a public right-of-way unless:

1. Access to such walkway is physically restricted by a fence, gate or other permanent structure; or
2. A "No Trespassing" or "No Solicitation" sign or a sign prohibiting posting is posted at or near the entrance to such residence.

Commerce City classifies violations of Section 6-2001 as civil infractions subject to fines of up to a maximum of $2,650.  Violators may also be required to pay all costs incurred by the City to review and address the civil infraction.  However, violators are not subject to imprisonment unless such individuals are convicted of three or more such violations within a 12 month period of time.

Commerce City ordinance Section 12-5005 states:

“It shall be unlawful for any person to enter or remain upon any public or private premises in the city for the purpose of soliciting the immediate or future purchase or sale of goods, services, or any other thing of value, or to solicit a gift, a donation, a vote, or any other support or belief when a "No Solicitation" or "No Trespassing" sign is posted at or near the entrance(s) to such premises unless the permission of the owner, agent, representative or occupant of the premises has been previously obtained. This provision shall apply to all solicitations, including, without limitation, those that are charitable, civic, educational, recreational, fraternal, religious, or political in nature."
