Mobile County does not issue or require door-to-door solicitor permits in unincorporated areas; Alabama gives counties no general licensing power over peddlers. Door-to-door sellers must honor the state three-business-day right to cancel a home-solicitation sale.
Under Alabama's Dillon's Rule, counties lack the ordinance authority that cities use to license solicitors, so Mobile County runs no solicitor-permit or peddler-registration program covering unincorporated areas. A salesperson going door to door there needs no county permit. State consumer law still applies: Code Section 5-19-12 gives the buyer of a home-solicitation sale the right to cancel until midnight of the third business day after signing. Cities such as Mobile, Prichard, and Saraland separately license solicitors inside their own limits under their police power.
The county issues no solicitor citations. A seller who denies the statutory cancellation right faces the buyer's rescission and the return of payments, and can draw enforcement under Alabama's consumer-protection statutes.
