Stafford limits the hours during which solicitors may approach residences and requires solicitors to honor posted no-solicitation signs at private homes.
Stafford's solicitor ordinance restricts door-to-door sales activity to specified daytime hours, generally prohibiting approaches before 9:00 a.m. or after sunset. Solicitors must immediately leave a property when asked or when a clearly posted no-solicitation or no-trespassing sign is displayed at the residence. The city may revoke permits from solicitors who repeatedly violate hour limits or ignore no-solicitation signs, and aggrieved residents can file complaints with the Stafford Police Department.
Soliciting after hours, ignoring posted no-solicitation signs, or returning after being asked to leave can lead to citations, criminal trespass charges, and loss of solicitor permit privileges.
