Full Breakdown
BC 7.04.055 requires anyone selling goods or soliciting money door-to-door at a residence in Beaverton to carry a legible copy of a current, valid City business license and produce it on demand. A solicitor exempt from the license requirement must instead show identification with their true name and the business name they represent. The rule applies inside Beaverton city limits in Washington County: it does not reach unincorporated county areas like Cedar Mill or Raleigh Hills, which fall under county rules instead. Failure to comply is enforced as a civil infraction.
Violations & Fines
Soliciting without the required license or ID is a civil infraction; BC 1.03.010 sets a Class 2 Civil Infraction as the default penalty where no other class is specified.
