Door-to-door sellers in Licking County's cities must register for a solicitor or peddler permit before canvassing. Newark, Heath, and Pataskala require an application and often a background check, with religious and political callers exempt.
Commercial door-to-door sales in Licking County are regulated at the city level. Newark, Heath, Pataskala, and Granville each require peddlers and solicitors to obtain a permit, typically after an application, a fee, and in many cases a background check, and to carry identification while working. Soliciting hours are restricted, commonly ending around 8 or 9 p.m. Religious, political, and charitable canvassing is treated as protected First Amendment speech and is not licensed the same way. Unincorporated township residents have fewer local licensing rules, since townships hold limited police power over soliciting.
Soliciting without the required city permit, or working outside allowed hours, can bring a citation, denial or revocation of the permit, and removal from the neighborhood.
