Summary
Section 3-2-11 makes it unlawful for a licensed peddler or solicitor to enter any premises posted 'No Peddlers Allowed,' or to keep soliciting someone who has already refused, backing the county's do-not-disturb protection with license revocation and misdemeanor exposure rather than a separate no-knock registry.
No licensee hereunder shall: ... C. Continued Solicitation: Continue efforts to solicit from an individual once the individual informs the solicitor that he does not wish to give anything to or to buy anything from that solicitor; D. Entry To Premises: Enter upon any premises when the same is posted with a sign stating "No Peddlers Allowed" or other words to such effect;
Full Breakdown
Title 3, Chapter 2, § 3-2-11, 'Unlawful Conduct,' lists what a licensee under the peddler and solicitor chapter may not do. Subsection C bars continuing to solicit an individual once that person informs the solicitor that he does not wish to give or buy anything, so a verbal refusal at the door itself ends the encounter regardless of any posted sign. Subsection D separately bars entering any premises posted with a sign stating 'No Peddlers Allowed' or words to that effect, giving a homeowner's sign independent legal force.
The same section bars physical contact with the person solicited without permission, misrepresenting the purpose or affiliation of the solicitation, representing the license as an endorsement of the solicitation, and making false statements on the application or in the course of business. Enforcement runs through the Sheriff, who under § 3-2-9(B) keeps records of complaints and convictions and examines businesses for compliance, and through the County Commissioners, who may revoke a license after notice and hearing under § 3-2-12 for any violation of the chapter or a conviction involving moral turpitude. The county maintains no separate do-not-solicit registry or municipal do-not-knock list; the posted sign and the individual refusal are the operative opt-out mechanisms.
Violations & Fines
Ignoring a posted 'No Peddlers Allowed' sign or continuing to solicit after a stated refusal is a misdemeanor under §§ 3-2-13 and 1-4-1, punishable by up to a $300 fine, up to six months in jail, or both, and is separate grounds for the County Commissioners to revoke the offender's license after notice and hearing under § 3-2-12.
