Summary

In unincorporated Oldham County, Kentucky, licensed peddlers may only go door to door between 9:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekends, and never after sunset or before sunrise. The county keeps no do-not-knock registry.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Oldham County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

§ 111.07 PEDDLING REGULATIONS; PROHIBITED LOCATIONS AND TIME.

(A) Prohibited times. No peddling shall be allowed during the following times:

(1) Before 9:30 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday;

(2) Before 11:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m. on Saturday or Sunday; and

(3) At any time after sunset or before sunrise.

Full Breakdown

Oldham County Code § 111.07(A) restricts when a licensed peddler may operate in the county, listing three prohibited windows: before 9:30 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, before 11:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m. on Saturday or Sunday, and at any time after sunset or before sunrise, whichever limit is tighter on a given day. The section sits in the chapter governing peddlers generally, whose stated purpose under § 111.01 is to protect public health, safety and welfare by regulating peddling, itinerant trading and door-to-door sales while background-checking and licensing those who engage in it; the same purpose clause expressly disclaims any intent to license pre-arranged sales calls or to burden political canvassing or religious door-to-door speech.

Subsection (B) requires that any peddler under age 18 have an adult co-sign the application and supply the adult's address and relationship to the minor applicant. Subsection (C) exempts stationary roadside agricultural stands and charitable organizations from the licensing and, by extension, the hours restriction that attaches to a peddling license, though the stands must still meet county planning and development regulations and cannot be located on a public right-of-way. The code does not establish a do-not-knock or no-solicitation registry that residents can join to bar peddlers from their property; the only county-wide time restriction on peddling is the fixed schedule in § 111.07(A).

Enforcement runs through any law enforcement officer or deputy, who may issue a citation for peddling outside these hours or without a license under § 111.08, referable to County District Court.

Violations & Fines

Peddling outside the permitted hours in § 111.07(A) is enforced the same as peddling without a license: any law enforcement officer may issue a citation under § 111.08 for prosecution in County District Court. Section 111.99 classifies a chapter violation as a Class B misdemeanor, fined not less than $25 nor more than $250 per day per violation per individual participant, or up to 90 days imprisonment, or both.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hours can peddlers knock on doors in unincorporated Oldham County?
Section 111.07(A) limits peddling to 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday or Sunday, and bars peddling entirely after sunset or before sunrise, whichever restriction is stricter on that day.
Can Oldham County residents register their address as no-solicitation?
The county code contains no do-not-knock or no-solicitation registry. Section 111.07 sets only a fixed countywide schedule restricting when a licensed peddler may operate; there is no mechanism for an individual household to opt out separately.
What happens if a peddler ignores the hours restriction?
It is enforced like peddling without a license: any law enforcement officer may issue a citation under § 111.08 for prosecution in County District Court, and § 111.99 makes a violation a Class B misdemeanor with a fine of $25 to $250 per day or up to 90 days in jail.
