Summary
Fountain Municipal Code § 9.64.010 limits door-to-door sales and solicitation to the hours between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and bans it outright on Sundays and legal holidays. The chapter, Peddlers and Solicitors, contains no do-not-knock registry; residents' only citywide protection against uninvited callers is this fixed time window.
No door-to-door solicitation for the purpose of selling goods, wares, merchandise or services, or anything of value for present or future delivery or performance, shall be permitted within the city before 9:00 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m.; provided, however, there shall be no solicitation or door-to-door selling for the purpose of selling wares, goods, merchandise or services, or anything of value for present or future delivery or performance on Sundays and holidays.

Full Breakdown
010, first adopted by Ord. No. 762 in 1987 and unchanged since. , and bars that activity entirely on Sundays and holidays regardless of the hour. The section covers any present or future sale, so it reaches subscription pitches, home-improvement contractors and similar callers along with straightforward peddling. Fountain's code does not maintain a do-not-knock or no-solicitation registry for residents to enroll their address on, and it does not require solicitors to carry a city-issued permit or badge under this chapter; the hours restriction is the entire rule.
010(C). Residents who want a solicitor to leave outside the allowed hours, or on a Sunday or holiday, can report the visit to the Fountain Police Department for enforcement under the general penalty provision, since the ordinance itself supplies no separate complaint or registry mechanism.
Violations & Fines
Chapter 9.64 sets no penalty of its own, so a solicitor who knocks outside the 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. window, or on a Sunday or holiday, is prosecuted under the Code's general penalty, § 1.12.010: a fine up to $2,650.00, up to one year in jail, or both, with each day of continued violation charged separately.
