Summary
Tippecanoe County keeps no do-not-solicit registry, but § 111.08 confines a licensed peddler's or solicitor's activity in the unincorporated county to between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., and separately bars going house to house between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.
The license issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall be valid only between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. and no person shall go from house to house, office to office, or place to place in the county to offer merchandise for sale, or to solicit orders for merchandise to persons not dealers in such commodities, between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: 2025 S-17: Supplement contains: Local legislation current through Ord. 2025-25-CM, passed 8-1-25; and State legislation current through 2025 Acts, Pamphlet No. 3).
Full Breakdown
m. The chapter creates only this hours restriction tied to the license; it contains no address-based opt-out or 'no solicitation' registry that residents can join to bar callers at their home. 01. Because the hours rule is tied to Chapter 111's peddler and solicitor license, it reaches hawkers, peddlers, solicitors, and itinerant vendors covered by that license, not charitable canvassers or political campaigners operating outside the licensing chapter.
Violations & Fines
Violations of § 111.08 carry the county's general penalty under § 10.99: a fine of up to $2,500, with each day a violation continues charged as a separate offense.
