Summary
In the City of Brooklyn Park, licensed peddlers and solicitors may only work between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., and any property owner or tenant can bar them entirely by posting a "No Peddlers, Solicitors or Transient Merchants" sign. Ignoring a posted placard, or tearing one down, is a separate ordinance violation from the licensing rules themselves.
(D) Conducting business before 8:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m. ... It is unlawful for a peddler/solicitor ... unless invited to do so by the property owner or tenant, to enter the property of another for the purpose of conducting business as a peddler/solicitor when the property is marked with a sign or placard at least four inches long and four inches wide with print of at least 48 point in size stating “No Peddlers, Solicitors or Transient Merchants,” or “Peddlers, Solicitors, and Transient Merchants Prohibited,” or other comparable statement. It is unlawful for a person other than the property owner or tenant to remove, deface or otherwise tamper with any sign or placard under this section.
Full Breakdown
among the prohibited activities for any peddler/solicitor, alongside other bans on noisemaking to attract attention, blocking sidewalks or streets, using another person's license, and refusing to leave when asked. 37 lets any resident opt out of solicitation entirely: it is unlawful for a peddler/solicitor to enter someone's property to conduct business, unless invited by the owner or tenant, once the property is marked with a sign or placard at least four inches by four inches with lettering of at least 48-point type stating "No Peddlers, Solicitors or Transient Merchants," "Peddlers, Solicitors, and Transient Merchants Prohibited," or a comparable statement.
The same section separately makes it unlawful for anyone other than the property owner or tenant to remove, deface, or tamper with a posted sign or placard, protecting the exclusion once it is in place. 34.
Violations & Fines
Soliciting outside the 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. window, entering a placarded property without an invitation, or removing or defacing someone else's no-soliciting sign are each unlawful under §§ 119.36 and 119.37, carrying a penalty under § 10.99. A pattern of these violations is also grounds to suspend or revoke the violator's peddler/solicitor license under § 119.34 after written notice and an administrative hearing.
