Lewisville, TX Soliciting & Door-to-Door: Solicitor Permits (2026)

Lewisville Code of Ordinances Chapter 22 requires commercial door-to-door solicitors and peddlers to register with the city and obtain a solicitor permit before canvassing residential neighborhoods. The permit application requires identification, a criminal background check, and a description of the goods or services being offered. Approved solicitors receive an identification badge that must be visibly displayed while canvassing. Solicitation hours are limited to 9 AM to 9 PM (or sunset, whichever is earlier). Solicitors must immediately leave any property where the occupant requests they depart. Entering a property posted with a no-soliciting sign or continuing solicitation after being asked to leave constitutes trespassing under Texas Penal Code Section 30.05. Religious organizations, political campaigns, and nonprofit charitable organizations conducting door-to-door canvassing are exempt from the commercial solicitor permit requirement under First Amendment protections, though they must still comply with time restrictions and no-soliciting sign requirements. HOA communities such as Castle Hills and Valley Vista may have additional solicitation policies enforced through their community management. Contact Lewisville Police non-emergency at (972) 219-3600 to verify whether a solicitor has a valid city permit.
