Richmond requires itinerant merchants, itinerant vendors, peddlers, and solicitors to obtain a city permit through City Hall before conducting door-to-door sales or transient business activity in the city.
Chapter 18, Article VIII of the Richmond Code of Ordinances regulates itinerant merchants, itinerant vendors, peddlers, and solicitors. Persons engaging in door-to-door sales, transient retail, or solicitation must register with the City Secretary and obtain a city-issued permit before operating. Applications are processed through Richmond City Hall at 402 Morton Street. Permits typically require identification, background information, bond or insurance documentation, and a fee. Religious, charitable, and political activity protected by the First Amendment receive different treatment than commercial sales activity.
Operating without a required permit can result in citation, fines processed through Richmond Municipal Court, and orders to cease activity inside city limits.
