Full Breakdown
Under the peddler ordinance, it is unlawful to solicit at any property displaying a sign or other visible indication that solicitation is unwanted, or to stay after being told to leave by the owner, agent, or occupant, unless prior permission was given. Door-to-door sales at residences are barred from one-half hour after sunset until 8:00 a.m. the next day. The rules apply to individually licensed peddlers and to organizations exempt from licensing under Sec. 47-17, and violations feed into license denial, suspension, or revocation by the Department of Excise and Licenses.
Violations & Fines
Violating Sec. 47-18 is grounds for the Department of Excise and Licenses to deny, suspend, or revoke a peddler's license, on top of standard code-violation penalties.
