Commercial door-to-door sellers in unincorporated Paulding County are regulated through the county code and business licensing. Religious, political, and charitable canvassing is constitutionally protected and treated differently from commercial sales.
Paulding County regulates commercial door-to-door soliciting and peddling through its Code of Ordinances and occupation tax rules rather than one statewide scheme. Someone selling goods or services house to house is subject to the county's business-licensing and code requirements, so the safest step is to confirm what applies with the county Business License Division in Dallas before canvassing. Commercial solicitors can also be turned away from any home that posts a no-soliciting notice. Religious, political, and charitable canvassing is constitutionally protected and is not licensed like commercial sales, though charities may need to register under Georgia's Charitable Solicitations Act (O.C.G.A. §43-17).
Soliciting door to door without the required county business licensing, or misrepresenting the sale, can bring a citation under the county code and denial or loss of the right to solicit in the unincorporated county.
