Door-to-door sellers in York County's municipalities, including Rock Hill, Fort Mill, and York, must hold a solicitor or peddler permit. Everywhere in the county, state law gives buyers three business days to cancel a home solicitation sale.
Solicitor licensing in South Carolina is handled at the city level, so Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Clover, and York each require a peddler or solicitor permit, often with a background check, before someone sells door to door within their limits. State consumer law applies countywide regardless: S.C. Code Section 37-2-502 lets the buyer of a home solicitation sale cancel until midnight of the third business day after signing. A solicitor going door to door in unincorporated areas must still honor that cancellation right and any posted no-soliciting notice.
A seller who denies the statutory cancellation right faces rescission and the return of the buyer's payments. Soliciting in a city without its required permit draws municipal enforcement and fines.
