Summary

Solicitors and peddlers permitted in unincorporated Bulloch County may only knock on doors between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., never on Sundays or holidays, and must skip any address, subdivision, or business posting a sign that prohibits soliciting. A solicitor who is told to leave or refused a sale must immediately get off the property.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Bulloch County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

Full Breakdown

5, Article IV. , and bans the activity entirely on Sundays and holidays. Subsection (l) is the county's no-soliciting registry: a permittee may not go door-to-door in a subdivision or community where a sign prohibiting soliciting, peddling, or similar activity is posted, and may not approach an individual residence or business that itself displays such a sign. Under subsection (e), a solicitor who has been verbally told to leave, or whose sales pitch has been refused, must not remain on any part of the property.

5-82 limit a permittee to one solicitation call at the same address every six months unless invited back, require the solicitor to state the purpose of the visit immediately, forbid representing participation in a contest or game, bar vulgar or threatening language, restrict visits to one solicitor per residence at a time unless more are invited, and prohibit entering a private residence without an invitation from an adult occupant. If a complaint is filed against a permittee soliciting in a residential area, the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office can immediately revoke every permit held by that person's group or employer after investigating the complaint.

Violations & Fines

Any violation of § 4.5-82 is enforced the same way as other permit violations under § 4.5-84: citation to the Magistrate Court of Bulloch County and a civil fine of $100.00 to $1,000.00 per day, per violation, per individual participant. The sheriff has discretion to revoke the permit as soon as a violation is charged or discovered, and a permittee convicted of violating the no-soliciting or hours rules cannot get a new permit for two years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can solicitors knock on doors at night in Bulloch County?
No. Section 4.5-82(g) limits door-to-door peddling and soliciting in residential neighborhoods to 9:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m., and it is banned entirely on Sundays and holidays. A permit holder who solicits outside those hours is in violation regardless of whether the resident objects.
Does a 'No Soliciting' sign have legal effect in Bulloch County?
Yes. Section 4.5-82(l) makes it a violation for a permitted peddler or solicitor to approach any residence, business, or subdivision that has posted a sign prohibiting soliciting, peddling, or similar activity, and the Sheriff's Office can revoke the offender's permit after a complaint.
What must a solicitor do if I ask them to leave?
They must go. Section 4.5-82(e) bars a permittee from remaining on any part of a residence or business property once the occupant has verbally asked them to leave or has refused to buy, and doing so anyway supports a complaint that can revoke the permit.
