Charitable and commercial solicitors in Orange must obtain a permit from the Chief of Police under OMC Chapter 5.64. Permits are valid for up to six months and may require a $1,000 bond filed with the City Clerk.
Under OMC Chapter 5.64, no person may make a public appeal for charitable or religious purposes without a permit from the Chief of Police. Similarly, no person may sell or solicit for the sale of tickets, promotions, amusements, shows, or entertainment not regularly conducted at a fixed place of business in the city without a police permit. Permits are valid for no more than six months from issuance. The Chief of Police may require the applicant to file a bond with the City Clerk in the sum of $1,000. No permit is required for solicitation conducted exclusively through the United States mail. Door-to-door solicitors must respect posted no-solicitation signs and may not solicit after dark or in a threatening manner.
Soliciting without a required permit is a violation of OMC Chapter 5.64, subject to citations and fines. The $1,000 bond may be forfeited for violations.
