Garfield's peddling and soliciting chapter regulates the hours during which door-to-door solicitation may occur and requires conduct standards for permitted solicitors in the city.
Chapter 237 of the Garfield code regulates when and how peddlers, canvassers, and solicitors may approach residences. The ordinance limits solicitation to permitted daytime and early-evening hours, requires adult supervision when minors are involved, and restricts the number of days a permittee may operate. Solicitors must respect posted no-solicitation notices and cease contact when residents decline. The chapter aims to balance commercial activity with resident privacy and public safety.
Soliciting outside permitted hours, ignoring posted no-solicitation signs, or continuing contact after a resident declines are violations of Chapter 237 and may result in fines or permit revocation.
