Unincorporated San Diego County does not require a specific solicitor or peddler permit from the County. Business activities may require other licenses. First Amendment protections apply to door-to-door canvassing. Commercial solicitation is subject to general fraud and trespass laws.
The County of San Diego does not require a specific solicitor license for door-to-door sales in unincorporated areas. However, businesses may need other applicable permits depending on their activity. The U.S. Supreme Court (Watchtower Bible & Tract Society v. Village of Stratton, 2002) limits government ability to require permits for door-to-door canvassing. Commercial solicitors must comply with California Business and Professions Code provisions regarding fraud and misrepresentation. Solicitors must honor 'No Soliciting' signs and immediately leave upon request per trespass laws. Religious and political canvassing receives heightened First Amendment protection.
Fraudulent solicitation is a criminal offense under state law. Trespassing after being asked to leave may result in arrest. No County-specific solicitor permit violations exist.
