Cobb County Code Ch. 90, Art. III requires commercial door-to-door solicitors to obtain a Peddler/Solicitor permit, submit to background check, and wear a photo ID badge. Hours: 9 AM–7 PM (or sunset, whichever earlier). Religious/political exempt.
Cobb County regulates commercial door-to-door solicitation under Code of Ordinances Chapter 90 (Businesses), Article III. Each commercial solicitor — whether selling magazines, pest control, solar panels, alarm systems, or meat/seafood — must apply to the Cobb County Business License Division (770-528-8410) for a Peddler/Solicitor permit. Application requires photo ID, proof of employer's business license, fingerprint-based GCIC/NCIC background check, and a non-refundable fee. Approved solicitors must wear a county-issued photo ID badge at all times on duty. Permissible hours are 9 AM to 7 PM or sunset, whichever is earlier. No Sunday solicitation. Religious canvassing, political campaigning, and charitable fundraising by registered 501(c)(3) organizations are constitutionally exempt (Watchtower v. Stratton). Residents may post a 'No Soliciting' sign to trigger trespass remedies.
Soliciting without permit: Ch. 90 citation $250–$1,000 plus possible trespass charge. No ID badge: $100–$250. After-hours soliciting: $100–$500.
