Post Falls regulates door-to-door solicitors and peddlers through its Code of Ordinances (administered through Municode). Commercial solicitors must obtain a license from the City Clerk before going door-to-door; religious, political, and recognized charitable solicitors are constitutionally exempt. Posted 'No Soliciting' signs are honored by Post Falls Police enforcement.
Post Falls' solicitor and peddler ordinance is codified in the City Code of Ordinances. Commercial solicitors, hawkers, peddlers, and transient merchants must apply for a license through the City Clerk's office; the application typically requires identification, a background check, the goods/services to be offered, and the proposed dates/hours of solicitation. Solicitation hours are typically limited to daytime (9 a.m. to dusk) and cannot occur on properties displaying a 'No Soliciting' sign. Idaho state law (Idaho Code §54-2901 et seq.) governs transient merchants at the state level. Police enforce the local ordinance with citations for unlicensed solicitation, trespass, or refusing to leave after request.
Soliciting without a license, soliciting outside permitted hours, or ignoring 'No Soliciting' signs are misdemeanor violations. First offense typically results in a citation; refusal to leave can result in trespass arrest.
