Huntsville requires door-to-door solicitors to obtain a Solicitor Permit from the City Revenue Department, with background check and photo ID card. Permit valid 90 days with specific hour restrictions.
Huntsville Code Chapter 12 (Peddlers and Solicitors) requires any person engaging in door-to-door sales or solicitation to obtain a Solicitor Permit from the City Revenue Department before canvassing. Application includes background check, fingerprinting, photo, business information, and fee (typically 50 to 100 dollars). Permits are issued for 90 days and solicitors must carry and display the city-issued photo ID card while canvassing. Religious, political, and charitable solicitation receive First Amendment accommodation but should still register. Solicitation prohibited between 7 PM and 9 AM and on posted No Solicitor premises. Violating No Solicitor signs is a separate citation.
Unlicensed soliciting citations 100 to 500 dollars plus possible criminal trespass. Repeat violations and ignoring No Solicitor signs escalate fines.
