Summary

Tippecanoe County keeps no do-not-solicit registry, but § 111.08 confines a licensed peddler's or solicitor's activity in the unincorporated county to between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., and separately bars going house to house between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.

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

The license issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall be valid only between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. and no person shall go from house to house, office to office, or place to place in the county to offer merchandise for sale, or to solicit orders for merchandise to persons not dealers in such commodities, between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.

Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: 2025 S-17: Supplement contains: Local legislation current through Ord. 2025-25-CM, passed 8-1-25; and State legislation current through 2025 Acts, Pamphlet No. 3).

Full Breakdown

m. The chapter creates only this hours restriction tied to the license; it contains no address-based opt-out or 'no solicitation' registry that residents can join to bar callers at their home. 01. Because the hours rule is tied to Chapter 111's peddler and solicitor license, it reaches hawkers, peddlers, solicitors, and itinerant vendors covered by that license, not charitable canvassers or political campaigners operating outside the licensing chapter.

Violations & Fines

Violations of § 111.08 carry the county's general penalty under § 10.99: a fine of up to $2,500, with each day a violation continues charged as a separate offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I tell door-to-door solicitors not to knock in unincorporated Tippecanoe County?
The county has no do-not-solicit registry. Section 111.08 limits licensed solicitation to 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and separately bars house-to-house calls between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., but there is no address opt-out list to join.
What time can peddlers legally come to my door?
Section 111.08 makes a solicitor's license valid only from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and separately forbids going house to house between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., so late calls are off-limits under the chapter.
Are any sellers exempt from the license and hours rules?
Yes. Section 111.09 exempts sales of seeds or fertilizer to farmers, sales of food the seller grew or produced, sales of religious works, and anyone already exempt from license fees under state law who shows credentials to the Sheriff.
What is the penalty for violating solicitation hours?
Violations carry the county's general penalty under § 10.99, a fine of up to $2,500, with each day a violation continues charged as a separate offense.
