Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to sell door-to-door in Parker?
Yes, if you're 18 or older. Section 110.02(A) makes peddling or soliciting without a city-issued permit unlawful, though narrow exemptions cover things like a charity's own members, a named individual's relief fund, and the Parker Women's Club.
How much does a solicitor's permit cost?
The fee is $75 under § 110.05 for peddlers and most solicitors, reduced to $25 for those soliciting for charitable purposes, with an added fee charged for each agent or employee who works under the same permit.
How long is a Parker peddler permit valid?
Six months from the date of issuance, under § 110.08, unless the permit itself states an earlier expiration date; after that, the peddler or solicitor must reapply and pay the fee again.
Can the city refuse to issue me a permit?
Yes. Section 110.07 lets the City Administrator deny an application if the proposed location or timing would endanger safety, if the applicant falsified information, if agency authority isn't proven, or if the applicant was denied a permit within the past year.
