Commercial door-to-door solicitors in Tulsa must apply for a Peddler and Solicitor Permit under TRO Title 28 §28-51 through the City Clerk's office.

Permits are issued for 90 days and are non-transferable. Approved solicitors receive a city-issued photo ID badge that must be worn visibly while canvassing. Soliciting hours restricted to 9 AM to sunset (or 9 PM, whichever is earlier) per TRO §28-53.
