Sec. 22-608 makes it unlawful for any permitted solicitor to solicit or attempt to solicit at a premises that displays a visible sign reading 'no solicitation,' 'no peddling,' 'no trespassing,' or a similar statement; posting such a sign is a resident's most direct tool for keeping door-to-door sellers away, and it applies to every permit holder under Article IX regardless of the goods, services or cause involved. The same article layers on additional entry restrictions: Sec. 22-607 confines solicitors to a residence's main entrance, barring side-door or back-door approaches, and Sec.

22-609 requires the solicitor to state the purpose of the call in unambiguous terms at each dwelling, without pretending to be running a contest or game. Sec. 22-610 further requires solicitors to verbally identify themselves and the company and product line they represent at first contact. under Sec. 22-603, and Sec. 22-606 bars a second call at the same address for the same goods or services within the permit period absent a prior invitation from the occupant. Violations of any of these sections are grounds for the business license division to deny, suspend or revoke a solicitor's permit under Sec. 22-618, and enforcement runs through the Clayton County Police Department, which issues the underlying solicitor's permits under Sec. 22-614.
