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.
