Garfield requires peddlers, canvassers, and door-to-door solicitors to obtain a city-issued permit before selling, soliciting orders, or canvassing residences within city limits.
Garfield's Chapter 237, Peddling and Soliciting, requires individuals engaged in commercial peddling, canvassing, or door-to-door soliciting to apply for and carry a permit issued by the city. Applicants typically must provide identification, employer information, and undergo a background review. Permits must be carried while soliciting and shown on demand to police or residents. The chapter regulates permit fees, duration, adult supervision for minors, and the manner in which solicitation is conducted.
Soliciting or peddling without a valid Garfield permit, or refusing to display the permit on request, is a violation of Chapter 237 and may result in fines and revocation of permit privileges.
