DeKalb County Code Chapter 15 requires commercial door-to-door solicitors to register with the Police Department, submit to a background check, and carry an ID badge. Hours restricted to daytime.
DeKalb County regulates peddlers and solicitors under the Code of Ordinances. Commercial door-to-door solicitors must apply for a permit through DeKalb County Police, submit fingerprints/background check, pay a fee, and carry a photo-ID badge while canvassing. Permits are typically valid for a limited term (30 to 90 days). Allowed solicitation hours are generally 9 AM to 7 PM (or sunset, whichever is earlier), though the exact window may vary by city (Dunwoody, Brookhaven, and Decatur have their own stricter city rules). Religious canvassers and political campaign workers are exempt as protected First Amendment activity, though they may still be asked to honor posted no-soliciting signs.
Soliciting without permit: $100 to $1,000 citation, possible arrest. Violating hours: $100 to $500. Failure to display badge: $50 to $250.
