Summary

San Angelo confines all licensed door-to-door solicitation to 9:00 a.m. through 7:30 p.m., meaning any licensed peddler, itinerant merchant or salesperson who knocks outside those hours is operating outside the authority their city license grants.

Every license issued under the provisions of this article permitting going from house to house or from place to place in the city for the purpose of soliciting, selling or taking orders for or offering to sell or take orders for any goods, wares, merchandise or services authorizes such activity only during the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The restriction applies citywide and covers charitable and commercial solicitors alike, since Sec. 031 requires a license for both categories and Sec. 003 caps every one of those licenses at the same hours regardless of the goods or cause involved. for every licensed canvasser.

Violations & Fines

Soliciting outside the 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. window is a misdemeanor under Sec. 5.04.002, fined per the general penalty schedule in Sec. 1.01.009, and each day the violation continues is a separate offense. The police department's identification division, which issues and tracks these licenses under Sec. 5.04.039, can also refer repeated after-hours conduct to the chief of police for license revocation or suspension proceedings under Sec. 5.04.040 following a complaint from two or more residents.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time can door-to-door salespeople legally knock in San Angelo?
Sec. 5.04.003 limits every solicitor's license to the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. A knock outside that window is not just impolite, it exceeds the authority the city license actually grants under the ordinance.
Do charities and fundraisers have to follow the same hours?
Yes. Sec. 5.04.033 exempts charitable causes only from the license fee, not from the licensing or hours requirements, so a school or church canvasser is still capped at the 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. window set by Sec. 5.04.003.
Is there a city registry to put my house on a no-solicitation list?
The Code of Ordinances does not establish a separate no-knock or do-not-solicit registry; the citywide hours cap in Sec. 5.04.003 is the ordinance's own mechanism for limiting when licensed solicitors may approach a residence.
