Honolulu County requires door-to-door peddlers and solicitors to hold a city-issued peddler's license under ROH Chapter 13, Article 6, with an annual fee set at $27.50 by Section 13-6.1.
Article 6 of ROH Chapter 13 governs peddler's licenses across the City and County of Honolulu. Section 13-6.1 sets the annual license fee at $27.50 and requires applicants to provide identifying information to the city. Section 13-6.2 establishes regulations affecting where, when, and how peddling may occur, including residential door-to-door solicitation. Sections 13-6.3 and 13-6.4 address license display, revocation for violations, and enforcement. A peddler is generally defined as someone who travels from place to place selling goods or services directly to consumers. Charitable, religious, and political canvassers are often treated differently under First Amendment principles but may still be subject to time, place, and manner rules.
Peddling without a required license is a misdemeanor under ROH Chapter 13 punishable by fines, revocation of any existing permit, and potential arrest for continued violations. Multiple offenses can bar future licenses.
