Commercial door-to-door solicitors must obtain a Sacramento County Peddler permit through the Sheriff. Hours typically limited 9 AM to sunset or 8 PM. Religious and political canvassing exempt.
Sacramento County Code requires commercial peddlers, solicitors, and itinerant merchants to obtain a permit from the Sheriffs Department before going door to door. The application includes a background check, identification, and fee. Permits must be carried and shown on request. Solicitation is typically limited to the hours of 9 AM to sunset or 8 PM. Non-commercial activity (religious, political, charitable non-profit) is protected by the First Amendment under Watchtower Bible v Village of Stratton and cannot be permit-required, though identification programs may still apply.
Unpermitted commercial solicitation is a misdemeanor. Fraudulent solicitation or failure to honor No Solicitation signs can trigger additional citations.
