Full Breakdown
City Code Sec. 67-3 bars any door-to-door vendor, solicitor, or charitable/political/religious canvasser from continuing to approach a resident who has given notice they don't want to be solicited: a spoken refusal or a posted "NO SOLICITORS" or "NO SOLICITING" sign both count as valid notice. The same section limits residential solicitation to 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. unless the occupant posts different hours or issues a prior invitation. Entering under false pretenses or refusing to leave when asked is also barred.
Violations & Fines
Violating Sec. 67-3 is a Class C misdemeanor citation issued by Longview PD; officers can also revoke the solicitor's Chapter 67 permit under Sec. 67-9 for a false statement or unmet permit condition.
