Door-to-door selling in Fayetteville requires a permit from the Finance Department's collection division. The application is sworn, includes fingerprints and photographs, triggers a police background check, and the permit lasts only three months before renewal.
Section 15-16(d) makes it unlawful to solicit or peddle at any residence, premises, or public place without a city permit. The written, sworn application to the collection division must give name and aliases, date of birth, residence, Social Security number, a year of employment history, the goods offered and their source, sale locations, and written authorization from the property owner. Two 2.5-inch photographs from the past year and a fingerprint card are required; an incomplete application is summarily denied. Alarm solicitors add NC Alarm Systems Licensing Board credentials. The police chief must deny anyone convicted in the last five years of a felony, trespassing, larceny, perjury, assault, or a crime of moral turpitude. Denials appeal to the city manager.
Soliciting without a permit is unlawful and prosecutable; permits are revoked for false statements on the application or for later convictions listed in Section 15-16(g).
